There are probably better video's but here in one Impala SS. They are a riot to drive for a daily driver.

Yeah, and that's why they're so popular and in such great demand, right? You can find someone who likes any piece of junk car, even a Mustang II.
"The heart of the Impala SS is the LT1 V8, which pumped 260 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque through a column-shifted 4L60 transmission. ""If you’re in the market for a used Impala SS, we’ve found they can be had starting at around $5,000, with well-kept models coming in around $9,000. While 260 hp made them quite a fun ride back in 1994, cylinder-head and cam design have come a long way since then, so you should be able to wake one up nicely with a few bolt-ons, though the LT1, Gen II small-block is a bastard engine with reverse cooling (requiring dedicated cylinder heads) and a front-mounted Opti-spark distributor."
They might have been decent cars in the sea of crap built in the 80's and 90's, but they're still "boats".

I guess wider tires don't help, so that's why all the supercars use 205/75-15s right? You attempted to connect wheelbase to tire size somehow, which have no connection.
Wider tires have more traction...pretty simple concept. A 275 is nominally almost 13/16" wider than a 255....that's a little over 3/4" (.787").I couldn't say exactly what would be better performance wise between a 255 vs 275, but besides clearance issues, the 275 is only about 1/2 in wider, but 1 inch taller at 28in , and 3 pounds heavier if that helps a lot for performance.
No it's not. A stock tri5 tire is a 6.70-15 which is equivalent to a 205/75-15. How is 255 "twice" 205? Grab a calculator.A 255 tire is close to twice as wide as a "stock" tri5 tire.
There are thousands of guys running 275s on their cars. Most guys try to run as big of a tire as possible when maximizing performance....it's common sense.I like big tires too, but a 275/60-15 is maybe a bit much, and harder to find a matching front tire with similar performance for cornering/braking, I think.
Given the same tire, the wider one will perform better. That's why sports cars and race cars have such big tires. And the 275 width is .787" or 8% wider than a 255.tire construction, and rubber compound are more important than just a small difference in the width.
So debating and challenging your BS posts is "bullying"? I just asked what ties wheelbase to tire width and you whine about that? You're the one who keeps making snide remarks about everything I post. Go cry to your mommy or grow a pair.Is it really necessary for you to act an internet bully, and cuss me out, or anyone else, in so many of your replies???

Oh sure, a boat like an Impala out-handles a C4 corvette? Gimme a break. The Impala weighs over two tons. The tires are smaller. I'm sure the suspension geometry of the Corvette is superior, and it has an IRS which the Impala doesn't. I guess those things "prove" the Impala will outperform a tri5 with a C4 conversion. Maybe yours.

Thanks for affirming what I'm hoping for, since I have a "Newman" clone that looks like it should work pretty good with the right suspension/tire set-up with a few other tweaks I have in mind. The one issue I haven't figured out is, how to solve is the wide turning radius using a short wheelbase suspension on a long wheelbase car. Here is an example of another amazing fabricator.
