How much faster ( if any) is the Monte SS supposed to be than the Impala? I would imagine the Monte is a bit lighter. I've never seen any 1/4 times published for the Monte, so feel to free to chime in on what your Monte SS has gon in the 1/4.



Thanks!

Not sue how much faster....but like kissmyss said, depends on the driver. All equal, the monte should win slightly due to weight.

If a 4-door can hang with-in a car length of a 2-door "SS", then the 4-door wins by shaming the 2-door.

Yeah, I'm in Hamden. I have a good idea where Woodbury is, I bought my last truck at West Chevrolet, is that where you bought your Monte?
