TLS vs New Impala SS

My first kill since installing XS headers.

I didn't get to run him off the line, but it's a good thing as I wouldn't have done well with busted motor mounts. Anyway, I was coming up to pass him as we were getting on the highway. He slows down in front of me and I slow down and get beside him. We were doing about 40mph when we jumped on it. I expected a neck and neck run as I've heard these are pretty fast. Well I didn't walk away from him, but did pull to almost 2 car lengths by 85mph. He ignored me after that, so I just waved bye.

I can't wait till the track opens back up next year and see what kind of times I run. The 14.46 was pre headers.

First off, nice kill. I have wanted to bump into one of those but have only seen one on the road so far.

As for your previous track time, that is pretty good. Those track tires must hook up pretty good.

Thanks.

Actually the car wheel hops really bad . . . through a good part of 1st gear. I can't wait to find out if the Innovative motor mount will reduce most if not all of the problem. Wheel hop will hurt your 0-60' times, so I would have expected to run 14.3s and top out at 98MPH without the headers. However, since I'' have added headers before getting the mounts replaced I won't really know how much they've helped.
