Gentlemen, Allow me to introduce myself - my name is Chuck and I live on the East side of Columbus. I currently drive a 2011 GT500 with a few modifications - mainly a Whipple 2.9 swap with supporting induction and cooling upgrades and a set of headers. As requested I have included a few pictures below. I've built several cars over the years starting with Oldsmobiles (455s were cheap!) in the early 80s and then switching to Mustangs when the 210hp (gasp!) 5.0 came out in 1985. I am interested in CR primarily to get involved drag and road racing groups. Thanks! http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb175/2007GTCS_2007/2011%20Shelby%20GT500/th_WhippleInstallandSVTCarShow021.jpghttp://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb175/2007GTCS_2007/2011%20Shelby%20GT500/th_DSC01487.jpghttp://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb175/2007GTCS_2007/2011%20Shelby%20GT500/th_DSC01526.jpg

Hey Chuck! Good to see you over here.

Lay down some deacon. It has gotten rid of rats for me in the past. Should solve your problem.

I gurantee I wouldn't!

he is getting a 30 day notice on the 15th.

He is avoiding you so you can maintain your man card. JK

I see you driving around all the time, welcome. I'm the guy that drives around gahanna in the stupid low white VW GTI.

hows that thing hook up?

Welcome, nice intro and clean car!

Welcome to CR, Chuck. Great looking car! You'll find a number of CR members and sponsors into GT500's. I hope you get to make it to some CR track days and other events. + rep

Old thread, I know, but new to me! I know there's not a lot of love for the superslab in the m/c world. I like to use my bike instead of a cage as much as possible, though. From the standpoint of car vs. m/c I much prefer to ride the interstate on my bike as compared to the car. Visibility, freedom, moving away from annoying clumps of cars at will, etc. The usual m/c praise... I actually like moving by the big rigs. The beemer's strength is stability in wind, buffeting, etc., and I think it's cool to roll by with all that dirty air knocking around. The car carriers make a windstorm behind them, even compared to the usual trailers. I have always found the freeway calming as compared to the roads. I started riding in SoCal, and the freeway was a necessity from day one. The freeway was the easiest to handle as a new rider, and maybe that's how my inclination formed. As some of you have said, my biggest fears is animals, or other objects coming up suddenly in the roads, though. Serious pucker. (I guess I don't like much coming suddenly onto a bridge grate on the interstate, but there's none of that in OH that I've come across.) About a month, ago, actually, I got some unwanted excitement. I was riding at night on 480, and I saw a parked cage on the median. A few hundred yards up there was a dude-- presumably the driver--- looking for a spot to run across the road! That should have been a clue. Not even a second later I see a muffler on the ground in my lane, but on the other side from where I was riding. Gave me chills. So, another note to myself. People out of their stopped cars looking to get onto the road: watch out for lost items immediately ahead...

didn't realize we were using the oven as a 'makeshift, craigslist, men-seeking-men' section. carry on
