there is a mini meet thing this sunday (23rd) at the natick mall in MA

I plan on driving up from CT (as long as the weather isnt AWFUL....but should it decide to s***(snow) on us again i wont go....I can meet ppl from my area (jesse) or meet ppl coming from manchester/central CT on 84, or ppl coming from southern CT/RI on 395 north or in worcester......so lemme kno if u plan on going at all and maybe we can cruise up there together. Hope you guys can all make it (and that the weather holds out)



All are welcome to come, protege/p5/msp/mp3/6 owners. im only posting this here and in the meets forum tho cuz i dont wanna flood.

I would be interested in meeting up but looks like noone is going to be there. Maybe if the next one had more people I would def. go. If there is more interest I'll swing down there.

What's it like going from 420 hp to 170? It must be like driving in slo-mo.

 

[1sty]

I'll be there, weather being good and all.

 

[OrangeAppeal]

I'll probably make it...weather provided (like everyone else).
Slug, give me a call on my cell phone Sunday morning and we can work out the details for driving out there (though, i may be out there already).

Where is Natick any ways?

 

[jroof]

SSW of Boston by about 20 miles. The Natick Mall is on Rt. 9. I'm going to be in Providence for an Alumni thing at my alma mater.

 

[1sty]

Is route 9 off of 95? like exit 14 or somehting?

 

[jroof]

Yeah, off 95, not sure if it's 14 but close to that, maybe 10 miles west on Rt. 9.

 

[black03speed]

going from 420 RWHP to 170 at the crank is a big difference. I haven't layed on the MSP yet cause I only have 520 miles on it so far. Where this car lacks in power it makes up in handling and refinement. The Mustang was a great car and was extremely fast but had no refinement whatsoever. The platform the car was built on was used since 1979. Talk about outdated. I love the MSP and will make mine different enough and will hopefully be able to squeeze 250 hp. out of her.

So what time are you guys meeting up at and how many people are going?

Pete

 

[1sty]

Good question!
I have no idea.

 

[black03speed]

Well I don't really know yet cause I haven't layed on the MSP yet as I only have 520 miles on her. I'll let you know. I stated in another post that where this car lacks in power it makes up for in refinement. The Mustang is built on a platform that has been used since 1979. It is also very stiff and uncomfortable and all that jazz... It was a great car but the MSP I believe will be a much better car. 420 hp at the wheels is a lot of fun, trust me but being able to hang a corner at 120 is even more fun. HEHE

ok, so if 1stmp3 is going, and im gonna go and jesse is gonna go then thats an mp3 and 2 orange MSPs if nothing else.....so you should come too black03speed

if we post on the protegeclub.com that 3 msps and a turbo mp3 are going maybe more p5 ppl who said "ill wait till the next one" will show up. I dunno. I wanna check out all yer rides and maybe get some pics of em so ill take a ride up

So when is it and is it still on?

 

[slug420]

3:00 i believe, and as far as i know its still on

so worst case scenario it will just be us 2 and we can grab some lunch

 

[OrangeAppeal]

I will definately be there at 3:00....just need to know exactly where at the mall (not familiar with that mall, but know how to get there). Let me know the place, and I'll be there.
See you at 3:00.
Later,
Jesse
