I do this one and Radio Reference because we're into scanners. It's actually interesting.
Ls1tech is still around, though I haven’t been back over there in 7-8 years.. really was a good place for very technical deep dives. However they certainly didn’t tolerate the shenanigans and banter we have here… kinda takes the fun out of things
Where's my trophy?
I owned Terminator #77 (R.I.P.) purchased in June of '02. Wife got it for me for Father's day. I had that car for 2 years before I went to a local get together. Several Cobras there and it was suggested I should look into SVTPerformance.com, and the rest is history.
Speaking of history, I'd love to hear about the beginnings of this site. How and why it started. What do you say @SID297 ?

You know it!!!
West palm vs tampa at bmp!
Snapped me a half shaft that one time lol
Same but slightly fresher at 2010. A navy dude I knew talked me into a Terminator and a marine dude with a Red Lightning told me about this place, been here ever since.
Close, but not quite 20 for me.
I'm in the club!!!!
I'm glad to see lots of check ins from guys who don't post as much.
Much appreciated. Your payment method (CC) probably just expired. Any of those support tiers really helps out the site.
Most of the channels around here are encrypted now.
The history of the site starts a good while before me. I'll try to put together something, but Steve (@SweetSVT99) has way more knowledge of the early days than me. I'm just trying to recall stories, he actually lived it.

I noticed that too.
Nothing encrypted here yet except the state police. Lots of simulcast hence that top scanner SDS200 is the only one avaliable that'll handle that.Lee County just south SO is encrypted though.
pretty sure ive been on here 20yrs. Bought my 01 lightning in may of 2005.
site has definitely changed over the years. Back then alot more builds, tech content, vendors and racing. More car focused overall. Lots of friendly banter and rivalry between different car communities, LStech, import guys..etc. Now every other thread devolves into politics.

Ha!! Timely post. I just got my "trophy". lol.
Anyone remember the old svtp home page, if not here’s a trip down memory lane. Thanks to all you OG’s! As someone who lurked heavily on here in my high school years during the early to mid 00s it made for some great reading and insight till I could buy my terminator!

Just hit twenty years last week. Got my OFFICIAL trophy. :-D
*Edit - actually been here since 2002, so I guess the trophy just now got awarded.

Yeah, some historical insight about the birth of SVTPerformance and its very early days would be great. I think a lot of members who love to see.
Oh you love it or you still wouldn’t be here…pretty sure ive been on here 20yrs. Bought my 01 lightning in may of 2005.

Been here since the early days. Back then I was rocking a brand new 2000 Ford F150 Lightning....in Red of course. LOL.
