96 Impala SS | lowering the daily

[herrakani]

Wow, cool upgrade

[SuperSport]

thanks! should take about a second or so off my 1/4 mile time, but we'll know for sure in a month or so!

That sound was awesome.

Glad this thing is getting so much work done to it. Now hurry and get the lows hahahaha.

[SuperSport]

lol working on that too! although while the car was on the lift i noticed a golf ball sized dent in the tranny pan... so i'm currently talking with someone about scrape guards

[rice4life]

Good idea to get one fabbed up. Better get things sorted before the lows. Still cant get over the way it sounds though.

sounds agressive...nice ss...i always loved the cars...so sad how chevrolet drags the impala name through the mire...front wheel drive... whatever...i like yours...

[herrakani]

It sounds like a real car to me. I got 11" 2400 stall converter and 3.42 gears for mine, but I'll run it as daily maybe.

Thanks man, I agree the new impalas suck.. My sister and grandmother have the two latest generations of them. Just another commuter car, there is nothing special about them. Funny fact about them, to upgrade the suspension you can swap in mini van parts lmao

Thanks! And I was originally thinking 3.42's but for my application this works better

van parts? come on... does that mean you get pulled over or chased by a police car that handles like a mini van? you're better off with a crown vic...

I really want one of these now, ever since you started the thread. Just looks like such a blast to drive. Definitely waiting for more low and wheels, but what you have looks fantastic as it is!

[Randomofodication]

I really like this build, it so different from most. Keep up the good work





Also dem big baller chrome 30's look hawt

WELL, tonight did not go according to plan. The need for drag radials became extremely obvious after having a 2.23s 60' time (for those that don't know, that's awful). The combination gears/stall was too much for my nt555's. On a good note, despite the mega wheel spin i was able to run .01s better than my best time last season, meaning the top end was making up for the horrid 60'.

Thanks man, it's definitely a blast to drive on the road.. get a lot of strange looks from people that either love or **** the car haha but it's fun to be noticed
