Default C3's in DFW

Is there any C3's in the DFW-Mid-Cities area. We have a GTG at Rosa"s at Pipeline and Hiway 26 every thursday.........I'm the only C3 there among mostly C5 and C6 's. Pretty cool bunch of guys and some super cars. There a few C4 and a one C2 that shows regularly.
Just thought I'd extend an invitation to those that enjoy good company, cold beer, and excitng cars.

Yup, there are more than a few of us C3 owners out here.

Thursdays unfortunately are bad for me due to work. It sounds like a good bunch of folks.

I went to a couple of GTGs out here close to me several months back. I quit going after I discovered it was mainly for C6 owners to meet and discuss how much they have spent on their mods.

yeah the C3 seems to be a rare sight at most get togethers even though there are tons of them running around. I take mine out whenever I can, but most of the time its too difficult to get everything done and have time for the get togethers.

Thanks for the reply, guys. The folks that come to these are a pretty cool bunch of guys.
Last night we had a c5 callaway and a pewter C5 (twin turbo 850 hp and capable of 1150). Did any of you see the pic in a recent vette mag of a vette dragracing a blue angels jet......that was this C5. He lives here in Grapevine.
There are no egos at this gtg....just guys (and some gals) that love cars. If you gert a chance go to the southwest coevtte forum and click on the Grapevine gtg thread by barnee phife.....there's lot of pictures of the cars that have been attending.

Sounds like fun. I'll join you one night after I get the interior together. It's so HOT in the garage these days I can't get the new carpeting in and finished without sweating it all up! Need some sub 100's around here!
