My car never came out of storage last winter, and is still there for this winter

Love the twisties, '96 Impala SS; Bilstein hard shocks, Giant swaybars

Nothing like ripping a 4425# car around!

You're kidding, right??? PAH-LEEEEEZE tell me you wanna sell that! Or trade it for a TOTALLY set up 4x4. Please?

Do you remember the original Chevy ads for that? It was touted as '...the family Corvette...'

Seriously. Would you be interested in selling that?

Honestly... I have been thinking about selling it.

1996 Impala SS
Headers, 2.5" full exhaust (KILLER sound)
cam (214/222* @ 112, .488I/.508E)
K&N cold air
52mm TB
3.5" Fbody MAF
SVO 30# injectors
Accel 300+ ignition
SLP 2400 stall converter
Transgo Shiftkit (Mobil 1 tranny fluid)
Bilstein shocks (2k on them)
Swaybars; 300% stiffer in the rear, 150(ish)% stiffer front
Lower Control arms
Custom PCM programming (stock ODB2 computer, AND ODB1 computer) along with autotap, freescan
Alarm
Alpine CD player, 5band EQ, Infinity perfect speakers up front, BAs in the back, RF amps with custom amp mount
New Battery
A pillar gauges (still need to install sending units)

I have 99% of the stock parts, and TONS of other parts. I have a set of AL heads from a transam I have been planning on getting worked over.

What it needs: Didn't start. Its either the optispark or the harness leading up to it. Both fairly easy fixes, but its got no spark.
Front end suspension work. Just a refresh really; 109k on a car that heavy... It wanders at highway speed.
Tires: Fronts are shot and the rears are just 'ok' I never roast the tires.

It made 297RWHP, 330RWTQ

Its in good shape, no dents but a few small surface scratches. I Zaino'd it all the time so the paint is in good shape. Its the DGGM (dark grey green metalic) color. Kind of like a slate blue, almost grey. The rare color

No idea what I'd want, I only just started thinking this in the past month or so. I could do it without the speakers/amps.

Greg-PM me...let's talk...

I'm still in for this weekend if there's interest. Just let me know, I can dial down the boost so all you domestic wheezers can keep up

**mycirus** · 11-10-04, 09:32 PM

I saw a sweet SS in the want ad a couple months ago. 50k on it and it was 12000. If I didnt have 3 cars I would have seriously thought about it. They are sweet. So where is a good central meeting spot. I am looking forward to this on sunday.

Bruce

**Stoneman** · 11-11-04, 09:41 PM

The only way I'll be making it is if it DOESN'T snow up here by then. They're calling for it this weekend, and that thing CAN'T move if there's so much as a dusting...

Oh. And if it does indeed happen, I'll be bringing my 4 year old with me. She loves that fargin' car!

a little too tailhappy for winter fun at times, though. it'll swap ends on ya in a heartbeat. my e30, however, is a fucking BLAST in the white stuff w/ snowtires on there

there's a super clean 1974 (?) 2002 Turbo for sale on rte 1 bout 1/4 mile before Golden Banana... actually right in front of Kirkers Motorcycle shop...

Yeah, if they salt the roads with this snow we are getting today I will not take the car out on Sunday.

Bwaaaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa!!! Not a drop of the white shit up here! Man! This is an interesting twist, eh? 'Course, ya'll be laughing your asses off at us come March/April...

Still may take the Vette out for a spin tomorrow. But if we end up garaging it today, still may take the Missus' S40 for a twisty run. Since this thread started, I can't get this outta my mind...

**mycirus** · 11-13-04, 10:24 AM

That is wierd. No snow in NH but plenty from Mass to RI. My stang is gonna go to sleep soon I think. Unless we get a good rain storm to clean the crap off the roads. Have fun on your drive.

Oh, we got plenty of snow in NH. There seems to have been a clear line right around Concord NH where anything south was covered, and anything north didn't even see snow. Here's proof. I just took this from my window about 1 minute ago. I hate this shit

**Stoneman** · 11-13-04, 11:40 AM

I can't believe none of us thought of this when it was nicer out. This is/woulda been a great idea. We'll hafta set something up next year...

damn straight, those are the shoes that my e30's wearin

I had a BLAST driving home last night

**Half Squid** · 11-15-04, 09:55 PM

Hey Ya'll this weekend is supposed to be in the 50's and clear. Who's up for it?

BTW. My Step Bro's Vette was super

Black on Black with fiberglass roof/blacked out glass roof, blacked out windows, but unfortunatly an automatic

I was so dissapointed in him... I did drive it once along with him taking me for a ride and showing me some cool houses previously owed by Dion Sanders and Troy Aikman. HUGE HOUSES!!! That car is super comfy and very quick and responsive! But difficult to get out of being my size..

**mycirus** · 11-16-04, 05:08 AM

This weekend I have both days off. If this snow goes away and the roads clear up I may go. We need some rain to wash this salt away.

Bruce

**Stoneman** · 11-16-04, 07:57 AM

Probably can't do it this weekend, unless The Boss'll let me use her S40. I took the afternoon off yesterday to winterize the Vette...

**Half Squid** · 11-18-04, 11:53 AM

So who's in for this weekend?? I am up for a run out to Western Mass on Saturday and stop in Sturbridge for a rare beer run stop. There is a package store that sells unussually rare beer found in the US and I want to get some!

**mycirus** · 11-18-04, 12:26 PM

What day you thinkng Mike? I may do this if there is a few people interested. The roads are not too bad.

Bruce

**Half Squid** · 11-18-04, 02:09 PM

I was thinking Saturday after I get my inspection sticker, so say around 10 or 11 at the latest meet along rt 2 and shoot out to the good roads fast and do a loop down and eventually onto rt 20 then work our way around the Quaban Res? We can find a good spot for lunch along the drive! I'll break out my backroads and scenic book for some idea's...

**mycirus** · 11-19-04, 07:20 AM

I think I am in for this. Where ya wanna meet and what time and who else is in? I am gonna see if my buddy in his S2000 can make it also.

Bruce

**Stoneman** · 11-19-04, 08:15 AM

Hmmm...not sure I'll be able to play this weekend. Gotta check...

**mycirus** · 11-19-04, 04:46 PM

Okay is this idea dead or what? I want it to happen. My friend wants to come in his S2000. Who's comming?
