Maybe thats because its a Zo6 Corvette....

Its true that the power in these impalas are mediocre... but what the hell is wrong with modding it a little to get a little extra out of it? Sure itll never be a corvette, but who the hell is trying to make it into one?! When you upgrade little things here and there, it makes the car more fun to drive, and when you put work into it like that you have a better appreciation for it, and have fun doing it.

Dont "not mod" your car because its not a corvette, or a GTO, or w/e.... mod it because you want to make it what YOU want.

PLUS! It's always fun to make Mustang owners cry in front of their hotties for losing to some douchebag in a four door family car.
