Well, I do not have a early A-body or a g-body. I do own a 99 S-10, 05 5.3/ 4l60. weighing in at 3465 lb with a .6 center of gravity. Also has a crappy 60/40 split on the weight. (working on it)

Crestucky- now thats funny!

Our city is nicknamed that by the people that live near the coast because we are closer to the Alabama border then they are. Things are very "country" here compared to our ritzy neighbors down south in Destin. :razz: Some of the locals here boycott the Hooter's because they think it is a very scandelous place.
