Its pretty low and Ive never bottomed out. But If the front has isolators ill prob take them out. Oh and my step dad is a blackhawk pilot he was here at hunter for about the last 8 years id guess but now hes at Ft Polk. His last name is Chaplinski.

FOB Falcon, Yeah I know exactly where it's at. I fly into there to pick up patients pretty often. I'm with the MEDEVAC unit out of FOB Kalsu. It's on Tampa just south of ludafiyah.

Awesome. Do you guys ever fly here and hang around for a while? If you do let me know and we can meet up. I am PSD for EOD, so I am out and about every day, but sometimes (very rare) I don't leave the FOB. Stay safe bro..hope I don't ever have to see you for any medical reasons. No dustoff's for me. lol.

Thanks for the pics crazy carlo, It looks like the perfect stance. I was really worried about bottoming out with all the potholes and speedbumps in Sav. I probably missed your stepdad, I just moved to Savannah in May of 06'

Ryan, We actually never shutdown at Falcon. Usually on the ground for less than 5 minutes. It's too bad, would be cool to meet up. Our unit left on May 5th. We go back home the end of July / first of August. It sucks being the oldest unit on the FOB. Anyway, we should meet when u make it back, anything before that woud be bad (MEDEVAC) Stay safe out there man.

 

[Ryan.K.]

No prob man. Yeah, you can keep your MEDEVAC..lol. My third time here without an EVAC and not my last. See you state side.

 

[Gutling]

Im in statesboro too, been friends with 98atlbluecobra for a while.

 

[Ryan.K.]

Welcome. The more the better. Should have a real nice meet in August.

 

[flashlight]

Is every body else on here in the millatary? Seems like just about everybody I work with was. Just not use to it. I moved here from Greenville S.C. You hardly seen any body millatary there.

 

[98ATLBlueCobra]

Nope im not in the military just ur average friendly neighborhood land surveyor.

 

[Fade 2 Black]

There is a base in Warner Robbins, GA which is one reason for the number of service folks on here, there's also one in S GA - Ft. Stewart IIRC and there's Dobbins ARB, Ft. Gillem, Ft. MacPherson....that's all I can remember, lol.

Thanks to all who have or are serving for our freedoms!!! :bowdown: :thumbsup:

 

[Ryan.K.]

Ga is a big military state. You have two big posts.

Ft. Stewart - Hinesville Where I am at
HAAF - Savannah. A part of the 3ID (Ft. Stewart)
Ft. Benning - Atlanta area

There are like four 03 cobras in savannah. I always see them when Im riding around not in my car. But there are plenty of performance cars around. we usually meet up on saturday nights.

There are also at least 3 03/04 cobras from HAAF (1 DSG / 1 BLK / 1 Redfire).
One of my crew chiefs drives a white 97 cobra, and there are a few other S95 Cobra's on post that I don't know. There are a ton of modded new edge and S197 GT's. Some with superchargers and others with just nitrous and bolt-ones. Also, there are quite a few ZO6's. There is one particular Blue supercharged ZO6 that is bad ass. He's deployed right now, but you'll def. know it if you ever see (hear) him coming. Anywhere there are pilot's you’re bound to find a ton of corvettes, just not my thing though.

Hope we can met up when you all get back. Stay safe.

 

[Ryan.K.]

I am really looking forward to August. Should be a good time.

So who all has what and what done to their car(s)?

 

[crazycarlo]

HAHAh yeah I used to be in the Navy and your right about the pilot thing and corvettes. Hmm yeah the car scene comes and goes in savannah due to military rotation. I now serve the community in a diff way. Im a firefighter on the Sav fire dept.

My Lightning is very basic. 6lbs pulley coldair kit and a jdm tune. The chevelle is a beast. 498 big block power glide with a gearvendor overdrive unit. 3800 stall 4.56 gears. About to get another stall for nitrous. I tryed spraying the car the way it is and it just blew right through the converter. went faster with a 150 shot than it did with a 200. The shift light just stayed on. It is a very streetable car. drive it a lot.

 

[crazycarlo]

Hey flashlight did you ever race a black 98 cobra leaving that spiva place one night around midnight? A while back I raced a silver L with a 6 lb pulley before I was supercharged.

 

[Hawkdriver23]

I have an 03 RedFire Cobra coupe. Very few mods so far. It has a 2.90 u/p, 100mm idler, K&N Denscharger, SCT handheld tuner. It was tuned by HP Performance out of Jacksonville, FL. The best part, I've yet to see it in person lol. I had been looking for the right one for a while, but deployed before I found it. I sold my 04 RedFire GT after I left in May. Then I found this 03 for sale in Savannah. It was mostly stock, which I liked, and had less than 50,000mi. So I jumped on the deal. And that's where I'm at now. It came with a dyno sheet showing 478 hp and 490 ft lbs tq. Slow for most of you guys.

 

[crazycarlo]

Man i know what it feels like to have a car and have never seen it. I bought a 73 firebird when I was in the Navy and had it shipped from Arizone to my home in GA and it was was at least 4 months before I could get home and drive it in person. Awesome feeling. Hopefully one day Ill get an 03.
