We have a very large contingent of Impala SS's here in St. Louis. Several
show up at many of our events, and I rode with one guy who was having
trouble finding the course one time. I was VERY impressed with the handling
of that car. He had enough mods to put him in ESP, but he has steadily
moved up the ladder in the class.
Very cool cars...for a Chevy :)
