Now this is a race I would like to see!

Now I won't lie I would like to see the (ok so I am partial to the RWD) "land yacht" win, but may the best driver and best car win!

I will say that between the 7 and 8th generation of Impalas I prefer the 7th generation, the reason is at least the tail/backup lights do look more authentic. To me the reverse lights surrounded by the reflector is the proper way for the Impala tail lamps.

LOL this thread is going to become very interesting, very fast. Especially since my 4400# land yacht will not even smoke the tires on wet pavement;-)
