    Default RE: Impala - big brakes ?

    Wow, you're building a door slammer if you plan on putting a 520 hp powerplan in your 96! Do you plan on taking it to the track, or just rip up the Sweden countryside?

    I don't know the asnwer to this question off the top of my head, anyone?

    Do a lot of people in Sweden build high-performance cars? I'm starting to think that just about anywhere you go there is a person who wants to built it bigger, faster, stronger, better.

    I'd love to see some photos of your '96 Impala Project car.
