quote name='tckcumming' date='Nov 26 2006, 11:31 AM' post='216466'] BTW 64 impala... I learned to drive in a '64 Chevy Nova - 2 door post, straight 6 with "3 on the tree". I had another Nova, '64 coupe with a 283 V8 - great little car! A good buddy of mine had a plain-jane '66 Chevy Biscayne (similar to your impala) with a 396 and a huge 4-barrel carb the size of a Civic's entire engine. The best part - it was painted a brilliant lime green with a flat black hood. It looked like it should glow in the dark. We spent a lot of time at the nearest drag strip with that! ET's weren't that great, it had no bottom end power, all top end. At about 60 feet it would hook up and smoke the tires, finish the 1/4 mile FAST. But he usually lost because of his poor starts. We never did figure out why it sputtered and kicked off the line, but what did we know? We were just kids. I'll never forget the rush I got when it did hook up, the big V8 howling, rubber smoke everywhere, trying to steer it straight while hanging on for dear life... So I'm with you. I go way back with the old American iron. I'd love to have an impala or one of my Novas back, but time marches on. My ES300 is SO much better engineered - it's just nowhere near as much fun! Enjoy your Impala - I'm jealous. tck... TCK hey dont get me wrong I love my 98 ES 300 got a great deal on the car low miles and in excellent shape.altho had to replace the tranny..got that at a steal . car runs and drives like new it is an amazeing car...since you like novas ill send you a pic of mine ill also send a pic of the 64 in another day or so... take care 64

as i grab another beer...thanks your making me laugh as for admitting import superiority???? huh did i miss something in my last post????i was saying both have there +/- 's i do agree with you on one account the blah blah blah blah blah blah and worth alot more?????? LMAO big time remember the + i was talking about on imports was gas mileage...aside from that ...NADA nothing 13 million LMAO to bad we couldnt hook up....id put my impala against any imort you own in the 1/4 with the motor i have in it now...........oops heres another beer to ya.... blah blah blah but who cares anyway.... Caio

happy thanksgiving to all...Guys Guys Guys i didnt post to get into any type of large debate ive been down the road with imports and american..both have there plus and minuses...i was just adding that times /speed can be done on american muscle.."in street trim"? the time i posted with the 327 was in street trim what ever that list contains minus slicks and headers just a little tweak here and there..nothing major..also ..front sway bar disconnected....as for the buick gn or the gnx nice cars but ive beat those also same for the mustangs,and camaro's hell ive put a good friend of mine in shock when we went light to light and i had him and he was driving a superbee w/ a 440 six pack im also not claiming to have the fastest impala either....just commenting it can be done.... theres something about a 66 vette w/a 427 4spd what will your import be worth in in 40 years..not as much as you think.....thanks for the imput........p/s i never cared for the handling, the g's or the gas mileage..thats what my other cars are for ...
