Ouch. Yikes!

Well, he said he wanted to see a tire smoke!

I'm glad I didn't post the tire with the NicodermCQ stop-smoking patch!

With my 2.59s I can barely break the tires loose! I can't wait to get the new-to-me 3.07s in there over the winter. So with the exhaust, new injectors, rear end and (hopefully!) ported intake and slps I should be able to burn 'em this spring. Stay tuned for further!

Dan, btw I saw a neat plate the other day (and I don't usually like personalized plates, unless they are clever) - it was on a 94-96 impala - "Veteter". Wonder if it was bs or he actually had something going on? Looked all stock from the outside.

Go to the 5:30 mark and wait for me to pass. Notice his rearview mirror shakes as I go by.

So what's that mean, you have a hole in your muffler? I see that shite in Chicago all the time

I like the straightaway when you walked away from him. What was he driving? And why did he keep taking his hands off the steering wheel as he was turning?

Just wondering, are you running a six speed in that 89 or an auto? In either case I would have to advice against the the 3.08's in favor for a set of 3.42's or 3.55's. I had the 3.08's in my SS when I first got it, and with those gears it was a real dog. Its still a dog, but its much lighter on its toes with the 3.42's.

And please, for the love of god, find a reputable shop to put the rear end together for ya. I got fuc*ed twice on shotty workmenship. Alot of people preach they are rear end experts, and they don't know dick about putting one togther.

I did however have very good success order a rear from Ikerds. The second rear I ordered for my 82 (this is the pumpkin that you must remove and re-install), accidently got damamged. Ikerds covered it 100%. Great customer service, and you can speak with the owner (he actually answers the phone) Pat Ikerd.

Well I can tell you it wasn't my SS you saw. A better plate for my SS would be GasGuzzler, or SSLOW. At 2 gallons per mile, weighing in at 4800lbs, about the only thing it does well is suck gas.

Jeff, Your a maniac!

You have some of the coolest rides. Everytime I hit up your site, or watch one of your videos, it makes me want a ZR1 bad! (Want an Impala by any chance? )
