08 Impala SS vs. 09 G8 GT

[TravisWiley]

I'm going to blow your minds. Being a gm tech for a few years and I own the impala SS, iv looked into the g8. The body/substructures and cradles are the same. The rear cradle will drop out and g8 can bolt in with mild modification. The front frame mounting is the same but cradles are different (obviously due to transverse power plant). If you happen to have a g8 laying around, it would be a hell of a mod to swap. Plus the 6.0 is. Bit more versatile than the ls4 5.3. Rack your brains around that!

[BrewtonBusa]

why it takes so long for you to pass 08 Impala SS ???? I would of left him from the word go....

[CenTexSS]

@BrewtonBusa He was bone stock at the time. He let me get the hit, and hit rev limiter.

[GXPFiend]

Nice video. I have a quick video of me racing an impala SS. Pretty unfair tho.

[NickWolford25]

i heard somewhere that gm is binging the impalas back...suppose to be rearwheele drive and the ss might have 510 hp...not 100% sure if it ture tho...and my mom has an 07 implala ss and i dont think it is limited... the speedo stopped at 140 and the rpms kept going up....hehe

[TAYLORbebopISaMAN]

where did you get your cover bra on the impala??

[CenTexSS]

@TAYLORbebopISaMAN I got it off ebay, was about $35. I'm looking for another as someone put a key through mine.

[cjf334]

ya 138 or 139 it stops on mine

[atekido]

dang 14s in your impala ss. my 2005 grand prix GXP same ls4 engines ran 13.6@102 stock

[CenTexSS]

@atekido I've ran 13.5 @ 103 since. 13.6 is pretty much the quickest claimed stock time for the LS4 cars. Great DA and a good launch anyhting can happen.

My 14 second times were in 3000+ DA in Texas heat.

[BLACKLACDTS]

@CenTexSS they are not runnin 13.6 stock! im sure they are tuned which is undetectable.

[atekido]

@BLACKLACDTS 3 of us hit 13.6 times stock kiddo.

[BLACKLACDTS]

@atekido look man you can say what you want but im not buyin it. my best friend has a 06 impala ss and his best time is low 14s. i have a trailblazer ss that runs 13.70s and i beat every impala ss ls4 i have ran buy a few cars too. whats the launch technic?

[08turboSS]

@CenTexSS .... The V8's in the Impala ss ARE TRUCK MOTORS , NOT ls4'S AND SAME GOES FOR THE ENGINE IN THE g8 gt, JUST A l SERIES TRUCK MOTOR

[MelbaToast918]

@08turboSS These engines are not "truck motors". The LS4 has the same displacement as the Vortec 5300 LY5, it features an aluminium block instead of iron, and it uses the same cylinder heads as the Generation III LS6 engine. This engine is adapted for transverse front-wheel drive applications. The crankshaft is shortened 13 mm to reduce the length of the engine. The L76 (G8 GT engine) was Holden's Generation IV based engine and makes 361 HP. Neither of these engines were ever used in trucks.

[BLACKLACDTS]

@atekido sorry bro not buying it! show me or i call foul.

[CenTexSS]

@BLACKLACDTS Several people have hit the time. A well prepped track and good air is pretty much the combo. I've moved on to a Trailblazer SS.

[BLACKLACDTS]

@CenTexSS yea i was just bustin your chops. lol i have a awd tbss with cai and a 3200 stall and its been low 13s at full weight on the stock 20s. it wasnt even tuned i am between tunes rite now because my old tune was pingin to much.

[KingofStage1]

good runs those G8s are pretty sick... i just have one question... why were the G8s breaks on the whole time?

[avx7]

@KingofStage1 some people hook up their brakes lights to the gas pedal. doesn't mean the brakes are being used.

[313nugget]

could you imagine if the SS was rear wheel drive? i may have even gotten it over the g8 if it was.... but i digress.

my only regret with my g8 is mine is white and i really wanted that charcoal color they make but couldn't find a deal like i did on the white one. KEEP SUPPORTING GM, KEEP SMOKING THEM CHARGERS BOYS.... THE G8 IS DEAD BUT THE ZETA PLATFORM WILL LIVE ADVENTUALLY IN A FRESH CHEVY SUIT

[GXPFiend]

@313nugget Amen.

[313nugget]

i had a black 07 ss that i just took back to the dealership a few months ago, loved that car. mine was blacked out, lights, emblems, everything and man was that car ever reliable. not one problem in the 3 year 39000 mile lease i had.

i looked into getting another one, but found a fully loaded g8 gt with 7,000 miles, sunroof, premium package, everything for the same price. the 6.0 rear just appeals more than the front wheel 5.3, but boy did i miss the old ss when there was snow on the ground

[chestax]

i have a 07 ss impala where can i get the LeBra from on that ss impala?!?!

[B122345]

hey I have a 06 ss impala. I like the fact that some one is out there tuning the newer impala's although I like the 96. I like to see more.

[antchevy]

They should use the GT chassis for the impala so it can be rear wheel drive instead of front wheel drive.

Take it back to 1996 days!!!!

[smczack1]

GM was thinking of that. But The 2011 impala will still be FWD.

[victoriadish]

@smczack1 dont they usually redesign models every 5 or 6 years

[alexc3589]

@antchevy the 2012 chevy caprice ppv :)

[CenTexSS]

Yeah, my brother told me he hit the governer the other day around 135. We'll be deleting the governer pretty soon.

[csperry28]

@CenTexSS 138 is my gov. in my 09 g8gt

[chrisuperfly]

WIth the limiter top speed limiter still intact it tops at ~135. Delete it iwth a tune and you could definitely see 160 without any mods.

[CenTexSS]

No idea. I'd imagine around 160ish.

[HotDave25]

whats the top speed of the G8 ?

[HotDave25]

shit still not bad jimmy. u launched both times. afterall he does have over 50hp more then u. props!
