Default Import guy with impala ss !!!wtf

well im an import guy at heart,after a month's of looking on ebay for a 96 impala ss i was about to give up ,then one day i was driving to work and what do i see?a 96 impala ss in a yard with no plates,so i rang the door bell and talk to the owner of the car for a bit ,he made fun of my civic lol,so i got around to ask him for the price and he says how does $1000 sound?i said deal ,in my head i was thinking (wtf is this man smoking)so i went to the bank and got the money out and paid him !


now im the owner of a 1996 impala ss
it already has

hooker headers
k&n intake system
borola cat-back exaust

pretty sweet deal dont ya think?

my goals for this car are 11's in the 1/4 allmotor in street trim !do you think thats posible?if so point me in the right direction on what parts/upgrades to do next !

Nice find. Looks like shes got some miles, but won't take much to get practically perfect. That's a 6k car all day long.

not bad for $1000, its a heavy car, and a LT1, but you can make it go with a little bit of $$$
