Congratulations, you're a moron.

Don't clutter this board with your stupid tales of highway heroism.

No one gives a shit.

C&D says 14.2@101 or something, and C&D is known to get things down MUCH faster than everyone else. Take that for what its worth

The newer Impala SS doesn't even deserve the Impala name or SS designation. Some dumbshit was trying to egg me on in traffic....

I hope your dad knows what he's doing

What does that have to do with it?? It has more HP and a LOT more torque. Rolling it will destroy you.

Yeah people tend to get pretty uptight these days with threads like these. I understand why, street racing is really bad these days, but whats funny is I think there used to be an entire area on here dedicated to racing and "kills" as they called it. (I think it was this site, its been too long).
