Default New times for the Impala SS

So decided to take advantage of the awesome weather ( mid 50s) yesterday .Managed to run my best times .

1st run 13.49 @ 104mph with some wheel spin
2nd run 13.27 @104mph with less wheel spin than previous run .
3rd and final run 13.14 @ 104.9 mph with a 1.9 60' .

Really had a great time last night and glad to see these numbers .



A quick vid that mine friend took of the first run .

Vid of my second run.

Great times! 50's is great weather for Edinburg,TX, but likely still very humid. Don't underestimate how much better the DA is in other areas of the country, where many "hero" E.T.'s come from.

17x8 Torque Thrust Ms with 275/45s. (I had my eye on 17x9s with DRs when the car got stolen.)

Missed this thread from a while back, I guess it popped up while I was away... Nice seeing another LS4 hit low 13s.
