baby done good, done real good .....

Managed to break away from the GF tonite, and went to party with an old HS bud. On the way home, after a Carl's pit stop, I decided to cruise around a bit to see if I could get someone to run. I was cruising Eastbound down Colorado near Sierra Madre when I noticed a sedan revving at me going the other way. There was some cops ahead apparently an accident or a robbery or something so I couldn't do a U-turn. I kept going for a few more blocks then did a Uie and went after the guy. He got a red on Sierra Madre and I caught up and moved into the lane next to him(left). It was a 94-96 Impala. I rolled down the passenger side window (he had his down) and asked, "Hey man you wanna run". "Yeah, O.K." he replied. The light turned green while I was still looking at him and he got a split second jump. Fortunately he couldn't hook for shit. I slammed the accelerator, hooked pretty good and jumped 1-1 1/2 cars ahead of him. I kept on it and had many cars(at least 4) by the time I hit 80 mph. I slowed down and coasted next to him again. We went a few more blocks before we caught another red. I asked, "What is that an LT1?". He said "It's an SS Impala, it's got an LT1". He asked "What you got down there?". I said "LS1, you wanna go again?". He nodded. The light turn green and this time he hooked. He jumped to about a half car lead on me. He kept it all the way to about 60. By 80 I was even with him and pulling hard. I ran it all the way up to 110 and had about 1.5-2 cars on him. We hit the next light and I gave him a big thumbs up. "Fucking good run man" I said. He gave me a thumbs up and then turned right. All in all, she doesn't get much exercise, but she did good, she did real good tonight:D .

Nice kill! That Impala must have a good deal of mods to run so close with you! What part of CA do you live in, Danno?

yeah where in a im sf bay area. ninja is that walnut as in walnut creek or as in walnut that i have never heard of before

Pasadena fatninja19.

I was really surprised on the second run. So much so that I didn't think to ask what mods he had. I know the LT1s generate better low-end torque than the LS1s. That's probably why he jumped out ahead when he got traction and it took a while for me to reel him in.

hey danno do you have any pics of your car. i really dont like the new camaro's as much as the 60's ones but if your car looks like i think it does its one of the few i do like. some just lookd good while others dont. i dont get it.

yeah thats one of the ones i like thanks for being an ass hahahahahaha. but why doesnt the little zoom icon work redneck?????

anyway have ne pics of YOUR car danno?

-GTi-VR6_A3

Sounds like you did very well. I bet he did have some good mods on his LT1, because his Impala SS should be heavier than your SS...

Dont Impala SS' run something like high 14's??? And one to be that close to a LS1 f-body must have a fair amount of mods!

Yeah, high 14's with a good driver, it's a beast outfitted to fit five comfortably. Some even made it to be police cruisers. I wouldn't have minded finding one of those when it went out of service...:D

Impressive. Those SS's can be true haulers. They're way up there in the list of "Black GM thingies that haul ass". Under only the Buick GNX's and the GMC Syclone in my book.

Maybe I should ask my cousin if he's willing to sell his Typhoon.

Anyways, good kill.

Here's a couple of fuzzy pic's of my car. It really looks identical to the pic that Red posted except mine's got the ZR-1 rims and an SS grille. I really need to get my own digital camera.

Doh, didn't attach pic:confused:

Here's the other. How did you guys attach an image to your sig??

go to http://www.automotiveforums.com/upload then upload your picture, save the picture as a book mark for future referance.

then insert the pic like this....
[img] pic's addy [/img ] ... into your profile... should work! :)

yeup...up here in everett, they're puttin those out as most of our cruisers now. sucks..have to relearn to see them. they blend in a lot better.

nice race danno.

Are they putting the new body styled Impalas in as cruisers in your area? With the little crappy motors? This is a possibility because that's happening alot, all over.

If that's the case, I was originally meaning that I know of several 94-96 Impala SS's with LT1's that made it to pursuit trim. The ones that looked like Caprices, but could haul much more ass...
