Matt, Nice car to bad they won't hang with the Challengers. At least I haven't seen a Camaro beat a Challenger @ "The Strip" A guy I know here has a Camaro all built & he does admit the Challengers are a handful.
But enjoy it is a nice looking car. I asked my Camaro buddy why the fast Mustangs can't hang either & he told me because old fart like me own Mustangs & can't drive.

Goodmorning Guys & Gals,
Happy Thursday!
Have a safe & enjoyable day.
I've been slackin' in my CL duties.... I'm sorry everyone.
I've received chapter requests & just checked them recently. I've invited them to come hang out & introduce themselves here in our daily chit chat. So, if you see someone new...please give them a warm welcome.

Happy thirsty Thursday Nevada FTE and friends!. I will be moving tomorrow, and will not have internet access until sometime Sunday afternoon. So I will say TGIF now and you all can hold on to it until the weekend. I know I will have a very busy one.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!! I'm Roger from Henderson(since 1987).
New to the chapter. Have had Ford trucks since way before i could drive and still own them today. Glad to be accepted to the chapter, seems like a great place to chat and get information from some nice folks. If one of you is near the thermostat, give it a whack, i think it is stuck in heat mode or something!!!

Good Morning Nevada, an UPDATE for anyone planning on going to the Bracket Racing @ The Strip Las Vegas.
The Strip in Las Vegas has canceled Friday Drag racing & will run Saturday Night starting @ 9 PM. Sounds like an all nighter. Due to EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING. My buddy has decided not to go but his boy thinks he wants to do the all night thing. So we aren't going in. I think next race is in Aug.
Just to make you feel cool we on the Colorado River are headed to the 123-126s over the next few days.

Welcome a12play12, I am sure you will enjoy your stay here.
Kerrmydog, 123-126 is way too hot for me. I don't even like 100, much less anything in the 120's
I'll have to crank up the swamp cooler out here until I get the window AC installed.

Welcome to Ryan and Roger!!!
Craig, according to the reviews in 2010, the Camaro SS would spank the Callenger R/T and only the SRT-8 came close to it that year. Now, in 2011, Ford finally stepped up their GT, but supposedly the Camaro SS still edged it out. I'm not sure when the Challenger went to the SRT-392, but that's when they went to 470 HP vs the SS's 426, so, of course it is going to lose. This is according to the reviews/tests on Edmunds,com. They did a year long test on the 2010 Camaro SS and that's what I've been reading up on. I'm sure it's not the fastest now, 3 years later, but I haven't touched it yet. :-)
As a side note, I found out yesterday that my car shipped out of Tucson on Wed afternoon and *might* be here today. Fingers crossed!!!!!

Morning everyone. I hope you can all manage to stay out of the heat.
I have a new fuel pump and water pump for the truck, but it can wait for the temps to drop a bit.
Today will be the first test of the new steel fuel line I installed. I have to run some errands so if that didn't fix it, then I should know fairly quickly.
The line I bought was a tad long so I had to route it in front of the oil cap instead of behind it. I am not sure if I like it there or not. It just looks out of place.
Well, stay cool people, and have a great day.

TGIF Nevada FTE and friends. Hope everyone has a great weekend. i am moving today so unfortunately i will be in the heat, but we are hoping to get moved before the hottest part of the day which is usually 4-5 pm here. Should be no problem as I have 3 people helping me, and only a small 6x10 storage worth of stuff to move. Not too mention we will be starting at 10am.

Goodmorning guys & gals,
Hope you have a Super Saturday,! I didn't have to work today.
They're training new EMTs today, so I'm off until the next race. I really couldve used the money about now, but oh well.
More time for family!
Try to keep cool & hydrated...its a hot one today.
