I've decided to see if finances will allow picking up an '06 or '07 Impala instead of going with an '05 Supercharged 3.8 Impala. I know what the 5.3 is capable of bone stock as I drag raced my '07 Monte SS at the local track. I figure the Impala should be damn near as quick even though it may weigh a bit more. Are there any aftermarket "goodies" available for the 5.3 yet?
Also, anyone drag raced an LTZ Monte or Impala? I know they have 240 h.p. same as the supercharged models but not sure about the torque output. I figure they should do low 15s in the 1/4.
