Far as I know that is just a stunt Anders likes to do once in awhile. He is on the Impala board. Is a 9 second car without the camper.

They do that here too. Wisconsin Internation Raceway has Eve of Destruction around labor day every year.

The video whiteboy posted is another car from the Impala boards, the guy who built it was around for a LONG time but sold the car a couple years ago. Sad to see a 9 second car turned into a sunday driver.

Long as we have a fast Impala tread going this one is not an L1, think it is a 400 twin turbo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF3TP...eature=related

I had a tow package on my Trans Am when I got it....

hmmm.... I wonder if a 500hp TA converible could take the LT1 "camper tow" title.

Only question is... how many people were in that trailer? and is it possble to keep a trailer to under 1000 pounds rated by GM :p

BIG difference in trying to tow with unibody vs. towing with a full chassis car, much less one stiffened with a full cage.
