1996ish Impala SS not as fast i thought it was?
Its someone around my area that drives a black 96 impala that i have been wanting to race for months, well last night that wish came true, it was 1am when we were lined up on a street. We both took off, i made it to about 80mph give or take, my front bumper was with his front door the whole time! I thought he would of blew me away with that LT1 motor and i know he wasnt completly stock. But he did have big 22 inch chrome wheels. The TL suprised me. BTW, i got a bone stock 99 TL.

^you do know Honda's engine characteristics right?
you do know of Vtec? right? the J32's make peak power at 6500-7000RPM. Also, where the engine makes peak torque...at 6000RPM. so. YES! you need to be revving the shit out of the car to make power! |

lol im new to honda, been a nissan man. The Max made great power down low, not too much more than the tl, but more. The tl pulls like a bat on crack at highway speeds. A week back i was playing around with a newer hyndai sonata, i was at nearly 130mph without realizing😮, car is dead smooth on the highway. I mostly raced on the highway anyways, so the top end is preferred.
some of the newer 8's will pull from all ranges of the tach. from 0RPM to 7000RPM, newer V8s will take you and spit you out like you were standing still but older 8's like the Lincoln LS, you will have no problem taking |
