'Muscle'...??
My 75' imperial 2 door also weighs bout 5,000 lbs. I replaced it's 440
with a 440 interceptor from a 76' CHP car though. could go on and on, but
regardless to say that I'm pushin about 450 ponies now, and I'd race a
roadrunner or such any day! These cars are built sturdy enough to accomadate
allot of muscle. :)

Re: IML: Imperial 'Muscle'...??
Hi All!....some time back there were a few emails passd back-and-forth about the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for our not-so-speedy Imperials. I can't seem to find those emails and would appreciate it if anyone who has those times (with the year Imperial that did them) I'd appreciate you emailing me a copy for my records. I know our 3-ton IMperials wre certainly no match for the 440 Roadrunners/Crargers/GTX's /etc of those times but I do remember some members saying that the 35-100mph times were not alll that bad! (guess once you got that 6000lbs rolling the 440 did the rest!). With all the current talk about the high dollars the "Muscle Cars' of the 60-70's are bringing in todays marketplace I often tell people who ask about the car that since it has a
440 engine and about 360HP I guess it might be considered a "LUXURY" muscle car!!! If our IML member ever does get his Imperial to hit the 200MPH barrier I guess (maybe!) we'll get a bit more 'respect'!!! Anyway, if anyone has, and can email me those statistics (preferrably for my 1966) I'd be very grateful (dansgarage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx). ...If these stats are somewhere on the website (which is surely a possibility given the SIZE of the iML site) please give me a hit as to WHERE!
