How far is GF from Missoula? (im new) Sounds like a great time.
Hey Dustin, whats the car scene like in GF? Do all the sports cars come out to play in the summer? I'm a fan of all but partial to Mustangs. Is there any speed/dyno shops around?
Do you dd your Cobra? I vaguely remember seeing an sn95 kind of recently (before all of this cold and snow!) with white wheels. Might not have been you, I didn't catch if it was a cobra or not.
Too bad I didn't know there was another svtp member in GF, Kyle and I could have met up with you sometime this summer!
...well there seems to be alot of strang things in this ton as far as cars... you will find a hundred garages of guys 40+ filled with garage queens, a bunch of ricers that think that their 4cylender honda can kick your cars ass, lots of old muscle in variouse states of repair, and very few true corbras.... but all in all it is not to bad a place to live and drive. Lots of free open space and such, and alot of fun things to do. Twice a year the Porshe club of mt meets in lewis town at the MT department of transportation test facility.. and that has to be the most fun I have ever had in my entire life. You will see all type of cars out there not just porshe and you run 20 minute session.... 140mps+ in the straights..... 70-80+ sustanined...Then there is always ther drag trak at lewistown, and other events and clubs in the city. I also belong to the local SCCA club and we race in three locations one of them being on the base... and it is a fun time to come out and play with you car.... As for the dyno shops.. there is one that I know of ... but it is an old crappy dyno ... IE mecanical... no computer output, and I hear that one of the local shops is trying to get together the funds for a rolling all-wheel drive dyno.... but we will see talk is cheep right
Sounds like a good time. Im mainly a drag strip guy so at least there is that there.
I've been dabbling with tuning and have been building cars for 17 years (mainly Mustangs) and plan to open a shop when I retire from the Air Force. Do you think there is a market for that kind of shop there? How about a market for guys that want a clean tune by "street dyno" as we call it with SCT software?

Yeah it is a DD during the summer.. my winter car is kindof a drag... yeah white and as far as I know I have the only sn95 in town with white wheels, there is a edge with white, but I think that I was here first. and plus that is edge is just a gt. I think that I know of about 5 sn95 in town that are cobra, and one 94 cobra r is currently being rebuilt... I think that I meet kyle at the local parts store tword the end of the summer... I dont even know what I was in the store for, but he came out to listen to my exshaust....so did you guys sell the yellow droptop?
The car scene isn't very good compared to most other cities in the nation, but it isn't too bad. There's a few fast cars like the 01 True Blue with a Terminator swap, but the guy who owns it is a total tool (kept saying he got the T56 that's in it out of a 03 GT500, and is taking credit for the work that the guy before him did). Other mentions are a centri SCed ~700 whp S2K, a s/c FX35 that shouldn't give you too much trouble, a couple decent Evos, a turbo Honda here and there, and maybe a cammed LS1 and C6Z.
Nice...one of those guys :nonono: One in every crowd I guess.
Off topic...-16 degrees there the other day!! What the hell have I gotten myself into? haha My poor cars are going to hate life in the winter. I should have a 2 car garage on base for the 04's but I'll have to find an indoor storage for the 93 Cobra. Anybody know of a good place?
What shop is trying to get a chassis dyno here? I haven't heard anything like that. (My dad owns Custom Engine and Machine).
Yeah, we finally sold Kyle's car a couple of weeks ago thank god.

Hi Dustin, that was me you met. Good to see you on here. And like Molly said, we sold the Vert (thankfully).
Good to hear that you sold it, I never put 2 and 2 together, but my cousin was looking for a sn95 mustang gt to purchase since last spring.... So are you guys moving to bozeman or missoula....
