Re: National third gen V6 Gathering
I would love to be a part of a space or field full of brother and sister third gens, come all that may. Being Crete, IL Memorial Day weekend, how bout a Las vegas gathering Labor Day? Cool desert night running... Once we all there, we can segregate v6's and 8's and this's and that's.. or not. but relish the common thread we all have and recognize the beauty in numbers. . . (there is not a NOS bottle next to me, lol)

Re: National third gen V6 Gathering
I might be up for this in 2012...
I'm going to drive mine to bowling green, KY this year sometime so that will determine if i ever take it on any more road trips.

Drove through: (Starting) Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, to Birmingham, AL. Dropped off passengers. Went back north, Tennessee, straight to Kentucky again then OHIO.. then west back to Indiana.
Id love to recreate that with my Camaro!!!!! I think it is up for it, too!

Re: National third gen V6 Gathering
yesterday at the NTTGA meeting we had two Fiero guys come out, and I floated the idea of a joint national conference. They seemed really interested in the idea, and agreed the two cars would be a natural fit for each other

Re: National third gen V6 Gathering
Have you thought about Pigeon Forge ,TN ? We have car shows here starting in the spring and run till fall . The biggest ones are the Grand Rod Run and The Shades of the Past . During both of these I have seen many 3rd gens but not many v6s .

Re: National third gen V6 Gathering
it's a little further east than I was shooting for, but it's not out of the question, especially if we have somebody local to scout locations and do let work for the event

Re: National third gen V6 Gathering
Yes we could . If you choose Pigeon Forge I can find out what we would need to do to have it here and how many were coming I could find out where we could have it . I know when the car shows are in they park up and down the Parkway next to the road in parking lots for people to cruise and look at the cars but if we only had x amount we could get together somewhere and then do a cruise .

Re: National third gen V6 Gathering
i may not be able to do it this year but i'd love to try next year. i am going through a sell out of my restaurant so i can buy into a new building. so my next few months are going to be hell. plus i hadn't got my car working yet. i am going to try a few things tonight if i can find the time.
i like the idea to goto piegon forge. especially if it is between may-august so my fiancee would be able to go with me. plus i'd want to have a year to play with my car to make sure there is no kinks i have to deal with while i start driving it. since once i get it running that would be the first time it ran in at least 2 years.
if it works out this year lets do it again next year and i'll try my damnedest to join all of you.

Re: National third gen V6 Gathering
I drove across country to go to the 03 Thirdgen National gathering, however if you hold it in Nashville or Florida, there is no way it's a "National" gathering because nobody from the West of the Mississippi is going to drive across the entire country for this. Pick somewhere central if you want a National Gathering.
I'd certainly do it, especially if we get a bunch of guys up here and pick up more on the way, so it would be like a giant horde of camaros coming one direction.

Re: National third gen V6 Gathering
I'd definitely be down for this next year. Car still isn't running, money isn't really there right now haha. The 3.4 swap is almost finished though, so it'd be fun =] I'm in NYC but I don't really mind the drive to many places as long as it's not longer than if I were to drive to Miami(which I'm doing in a week with my DD).

Re: National third gen V6 Gathering
I'd be down to do this if my car was finished by next year. I'm planning on putting a 3x00 top end on the 3.1 hopefully this winter I'm moving to Arizona in a year so It would be a pretty fun road trip if this were to happen
