Default Sold the SS :-(

Well guys decided to sell the SS due to not having any time for it . I spend most of the day out of the house and weekends are just strictly family time .The SS was just sitting on the driveway getting beat up by the 100+ heat . Guy that bought it looks like he will take good care of it . By the way I sold it with all the mods . I recently got promoted in my job an got a company car .2013 Mailbu .


I'm currently looking for a project car or truck , think I found what I want . Will post up once the deal is made .

[QUOTE=smokin06impala ss;17659930]thanks man, I think mine is a 2.3 liter[QUOTE]

oh, i had no idea they had a 2.3L! not bad at all, i would love to get the new diesel model coming out but im sure thats going to be more expensive than the gas counterparts so really any motor you go with you cant go wrong.

how do you like it so far? my wife hardly drives her 05 Kia so i doubt i can justify letting that go haha.

Not sure its too much better than FWD due to the lack of traction over the rear tires on a truck.

Cool looking truck. What are your plans for it?

There's tons of fast trucks out there, and if it's an issue it's only an issue if you let it continue to be one-there's tons of ways to fix it if there's a problem.
Besides, I'll take oversteer over understeer ANY day of the week.
