I didnt go but I was the one driving the Z28 and u were across from us in the Wal-Mart parking lot when I was hanging out w/ the F-Body guys. We swapped cars because Seth wanted to drive my car.

Re: Defi Gauges Suck!
I agree that "most" Autometer gauges suck. However, it is tough to find anything better if you are looking for gauges in the $40-50 range. If you are willing to spend $100 plus for gauges, then the other brands obviously have better offerings.

Their top of the line stuff is alrite tho... but the sport comp shit is just that......... shit

I have had people try and buy those Air/Fuel gauges from me and I refuse to sell them to them. They are POS. Im just stating these new gauges are fucking awesome. I know they are expensive but prices are always high when things first come out and they will eventually come down.
