hey george

is the john rafteseh guy from georga disabled?? i saw a guy up in atlanta (commerce- atlanta dragway) almost a year and a half ago run a mid 11 in an impala. If i remember right he was a big guy with a bad leg so he had to have some custom controls hooked up in the car. the car was maroon or candy red. I really couldnt tell the color because the thing was MAD fast.

Which would explain why I beat the crap outta one about 2 years ago with my Integra (then running mid 14s). I didnt know they were that slow stock which makes your time that much more impressive. To modify is to take sometimes a very long (and often) expensive road. Youre well on your way.

Hey Scott

Yep thats him. Hes got a bored & stroked LT1 with 409 cu.inches

John

Stock Impalas are OK considering their weight but I personally dont know any who havent modded theirs. I guess when you buy a car like that its like a blank canvas waiting for the artists creation

Thats one reason why I always applaud anyone who does his own work on his car. Its easy to buy a fast car but to make yours exceed its capabilities is a matter of pride to all real gearheads.

Especially if you turned all the wrenches yourself... but it takes an understanding better half to put up with it ..
