so last night on the way home from work on XXXXXXX road, i notice one of those new impala SS V8’s being drivin by a younger dude, going in and out of traffic and being somewhat of an asshat…guy was prob in his mid 20’s… i knew the older SS impalas were v6 supercharged, and i remember seeing the thread where daddie barely hung on to one…so i figured what the hell, might be fun… we catch a light, and he doesnt look over…so i pace with him through first and into second around 25mph…then he guns it, jumps a few cars while i start to build boost through 2nd…top of second i’m a half car ahead, into third and i start pullin away… shut down at about 65 just because i was in a 30mph speed limit area, and didn’t feel like getting a ticket just so i can say i had a few busses on him when i shut down…it was over, he wasn’t coming back, the end… here’s where it gets good though… we catch the next light…and i roll down the window, as does he…the conversation was as follows: me - that thing’s pretty quick…nice car him - yours is too…what is that, a CRX? me - no…a twin turbo ford… light goes green, he launches hard…and i just drive normally because a block ahead of me is my turn… lol do 300zx’s look at all like crx’s? or is it just me not seeing the relation here… edit: i also looked up online at work today…the new V8 Impala’s are good for 303hp and 323tq… meh, def not enough to give me bragging rights by any means, but at least it was a fun run… ---

Someone could make a way better car with a 90’s SS Impala with the LT-1 for a lot less than a new one. Imagine an Impala with the LT-4 conversion with TT and/or nitrous?? That would be a sick sleeper. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/killed-my-first-v8/10605.md?page=2)
