Can a stock 96 Imapala SS beat the Evo in the 1/4 mile?
#17
4g63 EVO motor comes in at 271 hp, but don't they dare even think about the horsepower. For the EVO isn't about it's hp, it is about the marvel engineering within. For I was able to SMOKE an sTi at bone stock. Was suprised how people talked about them, like they were all that.

You'll smoke both of them the monte carlo is a joke and the ss has 275 hp at the crank and is fn heavy. 1/8 mile , 1/4 mile sh*t even from a roll you'll smoke them both. Just laugh at them they have no clue what there talking about.. Light'em up then laugh..

Just say, "Hey, lemme see you're engine, in all fairness before we race." Check for those little secret shots of nitrous.. even then, if it was stock you should still beat it. Those things are a boat...

Both of those cars are nowhere near the performance of the Evo. They are both very heavy vehicles with modest horsepower. I don't think the Impala SS even cracked 7 seconds doing 0 to 60. I wouldn't even bother racing them if they're stock. Just show them the Car and Driver page with all the performance numbers. They are obviously unaware. I mean jeez, even a Cobalt would make mincemeat out of those.

I had the same situation as you.. The guys were so cocky that they told me, hey if you when im buying your dinner. He said he had to add my lancer to his kill list. I have the vishnu stage 1 sig ++ good for 400 BHP and 320 WHP. So about what you have. We had a couple or runs, one from dig, and one from roll. In both cases it wasnt pretty. Just put it this way, I had a nice steak for din din.
Later in life I found out that guy had a sneaky pete in his car (small shot or NO2).

a 96 impala ss runs like low to mid 15's stock.. the slowest i've seen and evo run at the track is like mid 14's, of course this was driver error, so even if you mess up a little, you can beat them. "1996 Chevrolet Impala SS 0-60 7.3 1/4 mile 15.6" taken from this link.. http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html It's also safe to assume the ss is the faster of the two.

Race for money, race for a lot of money, their ignorance should cost them. You'd honestly have more to worry from a V6 Altima or Accord than both of these cars.
