Honestly guys it's not that bad. I came from Northern California which has some of the best weather in all of the US and have been here for 7 years now. Unless you work outside (contruction/etc..) everything in AZ is air conditioned and all houses/buildings are extra insulated.
And with very low humidity (10% or so) you can stand outside in 100+ temps for 10-15 minutes before really even breaking a sweat.
Plus we have 9 goegous months with 65-85 temps and only 3 "Bad months" with the heat. Most other places in the US this ratio is reversed with 9 "Bad/Winter" months and 3 good months.
So it's not so nice now, but talk to us in January when most of you are snowed in.
Love it here...zero regrets in moving from Sillicon Valley!

I'll never forget Christmas of 1996 when it was 82 degrees and everyone was at the park in Gilbert

Just an idea, think the simplest would be to just have Mikey (MBH) set-up a dyno day at Dyno-Comp or we can talk to the Vivid guys and have them set one up and bring out the C series crowd as well. There seems to be enough of us around that's for sure.

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
Some concrete figures:
102 dry heat today
Cruising @ 40mph with a/c = 108 IAT
Cruising @ 60mph with a/c = 116 IAT
Punch from 60-100 results in 145 IAT and down to 125 in 30 seconds recovery
All in all, runs great, pulls hard, shreds tires. As the black C5 Z06 found out when I pulled a train on him.

Now that the weather is a bit nicer, I'm willing to get an organized event to maybe do a meet and drive up to canyon lake (hwy 88). If anyone is interested is it ok to just post in here?
