Hmm... nothing against Imps (good friend has a 96 too) but a.) they don't come with manual transmissions as an option b.) they are 800lbs heavier than the SHO c.) they cost at least twice as much as an SHO
The good thing about the Imp vs the SHO is it's reliability. Those SHOs just fall apart around the yamaha engine. It's kind of funny because my friend with the SHO used to talk about how unreliable my car was yet mine was drivable and affordable no matter what broke, lol.
The Imp is just such a heavy car . At least it's wide and has a v8 .
p.s. I've been in a hot cammed T56 hopped up impala... very fun car but typical GM build quality (rattle here, rattle there, rattles everywhere )
