Default Well its been over a year now
since I sold my Impala. I traded it in for a 06 GTO. At the time I was really happy but on Christmas eve (2011) I was taken out by an 18 wheeler. Mid January I bought a 5.0 because I dont like the new gen Camaros. Even though I enjoy the 5.0 I STILL miss my impala, everyone said I wouldn't being in a RWD 400+ car, but I still do. Heres some pictures.

Nice Mustang, I love the 5.0 and can not stand the new Camaro's myself. With just a tune, and sticky tires they can run 12.3-12.5 @ 115 with ease..

Yep, that will likely be what the GXP gets replaced with in the next couple years as my daughter is becoming quite capable of getting herself into her own carseat.

I actually plan to, the plan is to finish school then soon after buy it back from who ever owns it. I want the one I had, not just another.

Thanks guys, I'm really happy with the 5.0 just wanting to state that even though its a big step up from the ls4 world that i still miss mine. I've seen a lot of members come and go in this section and theyre happier then ever to be in a different car and wouldnt think about getting into another ls4 but i still would.
