:hail:

 

come see it in person next week at the NAIAS.

 

OMFG!!

Look at the Impala SS

Im going to shoot myself!

 

must race...and win!

 

That thing is a beast.. 500HP and a curb weight of 3100lbs. You're looking at LOW LOW 12s to high 11s stock.

Haha...I feel bad for the leadfoot driver of one of those. P325/30YR19 Eagle F1 Supercar tires in the back. For a price comparison, the P315/40YR19 F1 Supercar is $431/each.. and that's a 40 profile not a 30, and 315 width vs. 325 width

And the brakes! 6-piston front calipers and 4-piston rear calipers with cross-drilled rotors, stock from the factory, at all four corners. Doesn't say what diameter rotors, but I'd suspect an upgrade from the 13" C5s.

Amazing car..

 

i believe i have soiled mysef

 

gotta go start counting my pennies.

 

a 427, nice. Unfortunately I'm more impressed by the 5.3l Monte Carlo and Impala's that have Displacement On Demand (DOD). I'm still curious as to how that one works out...

 

ok you get the monte and i'll get the z06 and we'll race. lol. seriously though, i hope this iteration of DoD is better than gm's first try with the caddy. they attempted it a few years ago and it failed miserably sending them back to the drawing board. great concept though.

 

Until they start showing up in JY's, or they offer crates, it's a non-3rd gen topic.
