Hey, I saw the thread that was started for sightings in Chicago and I thought I would start one for Michigan after seeing a few in my area. I'm around livingston county a lot and have seen a few either going through my area or in the Ann Arbor area.

1) A silver Hennessey version on 23 south for the last few weeks, looked amazing!
2) One black one going through downtown brighton, and one (maybe the same) later saw it parked in my neighborhood!

Again, thought I'd start one of these for the Michigan people, if there already is a thread I guess I screwed up but this one might be seen more cause its newer. Glad to hear what people have seen in and around michigan!

Hey Guys, don't know if you care but I think BJB and I may be heading up to Bakers in Milford for thier Sunday Cruise this weekend if the weather holds out. I'll probably take my 68 Coronet and BJB is bringing Good Carma. Would be cool to catch up with some of you guys.

Haha, thanks :) She's ridiculous out of the hole now. On cold streets all 4 just spin through first and into second. I've known Joe (stenod) for quite some time now. I was his first customer back in late '04. He's a great guy, he did all the work on my WS6 which is going back soon.

My long-time GF's parents live in Troy in Sylvan Glen. It's just coincidence now that I have a place to stay, and a car to drive, when I wanna drop my cars off at Joe's for "maintenance." Couldn't have worked out better. lol

I'll be back over there during the holidays, I wanna get it on the rollers to see what it puts down....the winter tires were on there when you saw it (dyno would have ate them for breakfast), I got my Vreds in today and swapped those on for a few more weeks until it gets real nasty outside. Next time I'm in town I'll let ya know, and you can go for a ride or drive. PM'd you my #.

Also- A black one on southfield road getting on to 696 east...

I am on the lakeshore (Grand Haven), but venture out to Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids quite often. A lot of times it is on a trailer behind a big white Silverado on my way to the track at Martin. Would love to get some Michigan guys together for a day at the track. Either at Martin or Milan as my parents still live on the east side of the state. Calling out all of the fellow Michiganders here!!!!

Hope to see you all this summer,
Eric

Milan doesn't open until April 2nd according to the track schedule. I can probably get BJB to come out with his truck but it would need to be on one of the No ET events as they are more lax on the rules on those nights. I think the first one is scheduled for April 16th. Weather should be warmer and the track prep should be pretty good since they have a King of the Street race the night before. I could probably make that event.

April 16th huh? Might we see the maiden voyage of BDKARMA?

I doubt Bad Karma will be ready but that is up to RDP. I'm not involved with that build. I'll have to get in touch with Brian and see if he wants to get Good Karma out to blow the dust off it ;-) Maybe I'll bring my YZF this time ;-)

There, that should make a even 1000 posts ;-)

I got onto I75 South today which is 4/7/2011 at around 9:15 and there next to my black srt8 jeep was another black srt8 jeep. The front windows were not tinted and it said SRT across the entire windshield. In addition to it said execute cop killers on the back window. It was clear that the guy wanted to play however we were in pretty bad traffic. I will say that the bad traffic did not stop this person from driving like a mad man. Either way the truck looked sweet and it was nice to see how I look coming down the road.

MichiganSRT8
04-07-2011, 08:57 PM
nice! well I saw one today too I think, on my way back from dinner in east Lansing, my girl was driving the beast so I had time to look around, we were sitting on the corner of Saginaw and okemos I believe and I look to this building on the corner and I see an SRT jeep, black rims too. don't think I've seen it around campus so idk if the owners on the site. thought I'd post it up anyways. cheers

04-10-2011, 06:28 PM
well, haven't gotten my beast out from its winter sleep yet this year, but I've seen a black one (I think the same one) twice recently on beck in canton...I'm thinking it's about time to get the insurance back up on mine to get it out! Just had to wait to make sure the roads were totally cleaned of salt...

I've seen a couple in GR. Ran into a guy at a gas station a few months ago that just bought a black 07. I saw a silver one pass me at an intersection south of downtown GR a couple months ago. Besides myself I never see any others around. Never seen the red one you talk about.
