Is it just me, or does it seem like a lot fast cars come out of these 3 states. I'm not trying to put any other state down, but that's what I've been noticing (on other boards too!)

 

well, perhaps it is just a coincidence. i do know that when people look for a clean car to restore or to invest in, the southern cars are always the better choice because of lack of rust due to road salt. usually sothern cars are the better choice.

 

maybe its all the sun thats got us worked up and fried in the brain to waste thousands of dollars on a car? but i love it and my brain will keep on frying

 

Yeah, I guess the weather has a lot to do with it. We can drive our car year round and don't have store it in the winter.

 

web77 is right! I live in the S.F. Bay Area on the East Bay side, A town called Fremont Bout 20 Mi. north of San Jose and 20 mi south of Oakland. Its 70-75 degrees for a good 90% of the year (except nov-feb) it gets in the 50s. Anyway, there is nothing better than driving 80mph on the freeway with the sun on you and your girl friend in the seat next to you and your hair blowing in the wind with the windows down! GOT TO LOVE CALI!!! I fell sorry for all these guys up in the northern states who can only drive their babies for 3 months out of the year. Lets put it this way, If I could only see my GF for three months out of the year, I would move. Maybe all you 7 owners should move to Cali and enjoy the weather, or at least migrate with the birds!

 

TX is good.

 

Central Florida!!!

 

Sorry but SOCAL have better cars that the bay area. Rust Free

 

yeah i love miami

 

hey, I'm from MI too. Maybe I've seen your car around?

(I and the g/f cruise around in a clean white 84 gsl, distinctivly ours by the lack of power antenna (previous owner got it torn off by a car wash. BTW, the g/f technically owns the car, I just love to work on it).

 

I got my first GSL from Florida, the cat had been replaced with a welded in straight pipe. Could it be that Florida doesn't have emission laws, so people are free to modify their cars however they want? This wouldn't apply for CA, of course, must just be the weather out there. Don't know about Texas.

I like tx too, dallas FW area, wonderful place, although the heat can be extreme, last year durring that drought the ambient air temp inside sixflags was 114 f. whew

 

Are you saying we don't have rust free cars? I beg to differ - my car has no rust! SoCal doesn't have better cars, just more of them.

 

woot woot!!! orlando here. we have the TIGHTEST rotaries here in florida,no doubt about it, sorry SOCAL were the real sunshine state.....

 

its the cheese

 

No Smog in FL? Damn you guys are lucky. We have the most strict smog laws in CA. Too many tree huggers around here!!

 

Tx cars are regular 10 second quarter mile cars...the fast ones do 8s and 9s on the street...

 

 

blah blah blah....
If you wanna see how your car will perform, bring it to LA and see if your car can handle the LA stop and go traffic.

 

Or running from the cops, road rage, drive by's...etc

 

mac-10s, glock 17s...etc...

 

i guess we do have them but they are not enforced AT ALL! the only thing they will do is if you get pulled over for speeding they might tell you your exhaust is to loud and give you a $10 (i think) ticket untill you fix it, then it goes away. but they dont care at all, the N\A gsl has is street ported, RB headers, 2 3\4 piping all the way back

 

Exactly...they complain about second hand smoke, smog but hey, lets face it....this is LA. Anything is possible. million ways to die!!!!!!!!!

 

no emissions in FL. As for fast rotaries. I'd love to visit Puerto Rico to see some of the cars there. They have some of the world's fastest rotaries. I have a tape that my friend gave me from a event in Lakeland that had alot of the cars from the area and some from PR and they were fast as hell. Too bad the track their is totally crap.

 

I'm in Melbourne and Winter Park/Orlando depending on the day.
