"So often overlooked and undervalued when wise old heads look at this thing of ours, the question must be asked:

ARE WE UNDERESTIMATING DETROIT?

They have but two crews in their city, but CLO is a man of no small ambition, and has a highly able right-hand.  Playing second fiddle to the C to the L to the L, is SatoruGojo, of whom not much has been said.  His right-hand is, how shall we put it, rather more excitable than many right-hands, but I suppose he has something of a profile about him.

Will Detroit win any street speaking contests?  Unlikely, unless they run them themselves.  Will they take on and defeat another city?  Probably not.  Are CLO and SG household names, like Tyrion, Dagda, @SpacePole, and EvilClown are?

No, they surely aren't.  But neither should they be dismissed.

There is something of a tightrope walk going on at the moment.  

What they lack in famous leaders, street presence, numbers and charisma, I think Detroit compensate for with hard work.

And, lest we forget, CLO inexplicably has considerable support outwith his family. 

What is your opinion of Detroit? 

A notable shout-out to SyrianLannister - he's hardworking and a good man.

I have to also acknowledge that my intel was out of date.  There are of course three families in Detroit, which makes much of what I just said obsolete.

SG is mechanically better than prob everyone you listed. With the exception of Dagda. I'm not sure how you dont consider him a household name but do for others like Tyrion , EC and SP.  

Are you surprised that people working out of Detroit are good mechanics Wizard. 

I thought it would be pretty obvious that the boys over in Motor City are good with their hands. Especially that Lincoln_Lawyer fella, he use to give the best backrubs.... 

But that's a story for another time; I think I might plan a visit to go site seeing soon. I heard the new generation of Fords are looking mighty nice.
