ooo BonneMeMn aint gonna like this post

the new ones aent that much faster at all... a 94-96 LT-1 impala will pull an easy 14.8-15.2 1/4mile and a 7.0 0-60 depending on the driver... the aftermarket is bigger for the l67 tho i think, however, the RWD set up is much more fun and easier to work on.. I will give you the handling does suck on older b-bodys tho

Frankly they can be nice with plenty of toys, but out of the box i can almost run with one now. If i'm picking up one, it'* for an LS1 swap... With a turbo or two...
