  • not any faster than my 03 trailblazer

  • Lol the 3800 and the 3.9 are completely different in design and your comparing them. That's like apples to oranges.

  • Well ya it sucks but its got some sorry fukn gearing.. made for fuel economy not.racinng

  • Hmm my stock 4 cyl goes faster then that

  • So it looks like the variable timing kicks at about 3.5k

  • more like 8 seconds for 10-60

  • I had one as a rental while my car was in the shop.. Thing was dog, slow as shit even with a huge v6

  • Pretty sure u started at 10

  • inst economy = 2mpg. thumbs up for impala :)

  • Do not start at 10 MPH. It is called 0-60 DUMB ASS!!!!!!!!!

  • lol and that 1.8 turbo is infamous for its oil sludge problems, thats why they dont make them anymore. good luck with ur 1.8 turbo lasting past 100 k without major work

  • That was not 0-60 mph. It was 10-65 mph.

  • the gears are rediculous

  • 6 cylinder mode? Does it have a 3 or 4 cylinder mode? I didnt think the 3.9 was DOD?

  • sorry for being right but thats not accurate at alllll cuase first off u dont start from 0. 2nd off its more like 9 secs even when u start like inbetween 5-10 mph good video dude nooooooooooooooot

  • @fifth5seal no not an idiot just w t

  • enter your text here: Sorry, I meant 10-60mph. 

  • Yea 240hp seems like 190hp to me but, Hey a 3.9 v6 isnt a high performence engine.

  • @malcolm70 No it's not, Its funny the Malibu's 3.6 is pushin out 252 HP

  • "enter your text here" ...."**10-60"

  • lmfao , this isnt 0 - 60 nor is it NE where CLOSE TO 3.9 seconds haha. impala doesnt even do -060 in 3.9. there slow as fuck

  • @enjoiyoutube l2read

  • why these fuckin american cars are so slow. The worse is the gearbox very very long . Why ??? And they need big block 5,7 V8 8,3 V10 for only something like 150 horsepowers. Are they stupid ?? Why they never use Turbo , they can make something like 3.0 V6 Bi Turbo with 300 horsepowers and 500nm of torque and good gearbox 1st : 75 km/h 2nd: 130km/h 3rd: 180 4th : 250

  • @turkills52 I hope you do not speak like you type. You sound like a complete asshole.! A big block is not a 5.7 liter either jerkoff !!!!!!!!!!

  • @smczack1 i m from europe stupid guy i dont know exactly about your big block or other and i dont care keep them all your heavy cars, it doesnt move and drink the gas like a truck.

  • @turkills52 Do a little research before you make stupid comments about things you know nothing about !!

  • @turkills52 lol you realy dont know anythng about cars

  • @turkills52 idiot. the viper 8.3 (8.4 actually) v10 is good for 600 horsepower and 560ft lb of torque. THEN you supercharge or turbo charge it and get around 800-1000HP. you gonna get that from your 3.0? no, because there is no replacement for displacement, son. but you'll only learn that in america. This impala WAS NOT built to be fast and he didn't claim it was in this video.

  • @sideburns2009 i know this impala was not created to be a dragster but it can be better car if the gearbox was set correctly

  • @turkills52 because v6's are gay? and your retarded... you must be a euro faggot for using km/h. We make 3.6L's NA with 312 horsepower. our 2.0L Cobalt SS makes 270 horsepower from a 6 speed gear box even and gets like 35 MPG o.0 where the hell have you been? Our v8s make around 400-700 horsepower stock now too if you didnt notice.

  • @frostbytey The 2.0 ss makes 290hp. Which isnt bad at all!!

  • @frostbytey Yeaahh yeahhh my friend, your cars are only good for straight road , in the city i say you bye bye :d:

    in fact the american cars are not bad, but the fuckin manufacturers cannot set them right. Other day i saw Pontiac Firebird 3400cc V6 engine for only 148 hp with 2000kg weight, i say him goodbye with my A4 1.8 TURBO 4 cylinders 220hp , he was tryin to follow me but he understood quickly :d hahhaha

  • @turkills52 I see you know alot about cars LoL, Im ready to bet that your Luxurius VolksVagina or call it Audi if you want ( got nothing versus Audi but I like to reply to retarted the way they post their comments ), that your left headlight is burned? isnt it true? :) lol look at this guy frostbytey, he's comparing and he wanna "rice" an old firebird with a V6 that grandpa is takin to go to supercenter. Come on!

  • @turkills52 the 3.4L motor from GM was standard base model in the firebird and camaro in 93 through 96 >.> They were the 3rd shittiest motor to ever be released by GM EVER for a 6 cylinder. Your A4 turbo of course is faster than the slow sixer because it is newer and it cost more. you could snag a base model f-body for under 12 grand off the show room floor back then >.> They only have 160 horsepower. the LT1 however will blow your doors off in the turns and on the strip.

  • @frostbytey 3800 series was the best 6 GM ever built and among the best 6 I can think of besides the 300 straight truck six from Ford.

  • @turkills52 american cars are only good for straight roads? Wow can you spell ZR1 or CTSV? Fuck you are stupid.

  • I really wish these engines revved higher, or had a 6-speed.

  • what an idiot thats all i have to say

  • I don't get it, it's a 3.9 but it only produces 240 bhp?

  • @lucrativeelfmongrel the 3800 series 2 is a 3.8 and only puts out around 210 ish without the supercharger so its believable

  • Say hello to the Impala PPV. This is the same engine used in the Police version of the Impala. Not any faster than the Crown Vic, is it?

  • @rudolphna54 yeah these are just a little bit faster, not by much though, maybe by a second...im pretty sure the vic does it in about 8.5sec on a good day, and these can do it in 7.5 give or take... even the older impala interceptors with 3.8 series II's were quicker.... it's mainly because of the lighter weight of the impala and its shorter gearing

  • whats even funnier is that my impala 3.5 does 0 to 60 in 7.2 sec

  • thats pretty slow for a 3.9

  • you were already going 10mph

  • really fast car

  • i own an 07 impala ltz. It's an awesome car for looks and ride, but it's performance is nothing to brag about. (Shakes head as to why there is a 0 - 60 mph video uploaded on youtube).

  • 2 m.p.g. !!!!!

  • nice vid man, im thinkin about getting either an impala ltz or monte carlo with 3.9L, they are no slouch in the get up and go department thats for sure

  • ...laughing at your imp and caddy's. GTP w/ CAI,PCM,3"downpipe.

  • @ldxml watched your video, i can see why you are laughing.

  • @ldxml cool.. you idolize a 5000 dollar car that everyone and their mom drives.

  • @ldxml

    Your GTP is irrelevant to a 3900. You're comparing a Forced induction 3800 to an NA 3900. Besides, the 3900 makes 230hp in NA form, while the 3800 only makes 200.

  • my 2000 cadillac sts would burn that imp 4.6 V8 300HP

  • you didnt start at 0 mph you started at 10 or 15 which makes a big difference.

  • Yah i know that and i do not care. the time I wrote 7.5 secs is the official time tested by numerous sources.

  • @carmandan14 I knew something was up. I kept timing it and it was landing at like 6.5, 6.8 and I'm like... why put 7.5 if its faster... now I see. Still nice.

  • @carmandan14 still cant beat my caddy

  • @carmandan14 - Your car might not be the same. You may have 8 seconds because of wear and tear or getting an ok motor from the dealer

  • I drove a rental Lucerne with the 3.9 v6....going up a very steep hill it didn't even have to downshift....good low end torque on these engines.

  • yah they do. It is one nice perk about the engine.

  • pretty fast my bro has an envoy and we raced an ss today and we blew him out the new impalas need atleast a 5 speed

  • Wasn't that 10-60? Unless the speedo is wrong...

  • yes, but it is the best example of the engine on this vehicle on youtube from an average joe driving it.

  • u cant just say 0-60 when it's 10-60 cause the launch takes away alot of the time from a 0-60 ...

  • i said it for the hits. if you do not like do not watch it.  who searches 10-60?

  • i dunno ... ppl who can't admit their cars can't get off the line quick ... ot saying that u are obviously ... theres just alot of ppl like that.

  • @carmandan14 U said it for the hits huh? Are you a politician? Or maybe an insurance adjuster?  Misrepresentation to facilitate oneself. So narcissistic, yet so flaming gay...

  • @Thilindel At least i do not sit on youtube and watch video's of a Impala. what a loser. I traded this in for an 09 SS anyway, so i do not give a damn what you say about this car.

  • @carmandan14 Don't lie. If you're too stupid to understand 0-60 vs 10-60 vs lying to get hits, you aren't worth the sweat off my balls, son.

  • @carmandan14 Wow. You completely, utterly inconsequential fuck. You're so stupid that you don't even realize you're calling EVERY SINGLE PERSON that clicks on your video 'a loser.'

    God I wish stupidity were painful. You'd be comatose on morphine. I'm done wasting my superior intellect on the likes of you.

  • yes I do. On the highway I get 35 mpg. generally average 28 mpg.

  • comparable to a toyota highlander 02. time 7.2 sec.

  • the ss which they stopped making for 2010. went from v8 to v4. my v6 goes to a v3.

  • what year is that??

  • 2008

  • slow for a 3.9 and it was 15 to 60.mph. final time. of this car stock. 08 is 8.0 seconds. or 7.7 with roll out

  • Car and Driver said. 7.4. look for it.

  • extremely slow for a 3.9

  • yah... who said it would be fast?

  • Okay 200,000 accord post a video of it doing it faster ! NOT

  • my 2.2 Honda Accord with 200,000 kms is faster with a 200lb stereo.

  • post it baby.

  • Look at my vids, sure it is modded but a modern 3.9 should walk all over my shitty old Accord anyday. But it doesn't...

  • this is not a modern engine...its based design extends back to 1980 older than the one in your vehicle. if it had the new 3.6 dohc, it then would walk all over.

  • It is in a modern vehicle though, and has been updated several times since the 80's, If my Accord had a tl 3.7 it would walk crawl and run all over.

  • Again those are modern engines and they should be faster. Like I said the 3.9 is not modern, by any means. I did not buy the car for speed. I wanted a nice looking black car that was big and inexpensive that got good gas mileage. the impala ltz fit the bill. but speed was not my concern.

  • Not 0-60. FAIL... Try again, but this time start at 0, not 10.

  • I used 0-60 for the tag you dumbass. I know that. who searches for 10-60????

  • @carmandan14 - well.... If you were going to perform a true 0-60 run, then you should have braced yourself for the title ;) Your time would have blowed anyway since its just an economy automatic =) Not bad for a small town police car that wont need to go above 50.

  • I would not say it is a small town police car. look around what do you see. mostly crown vics, then impalas then chargers. I like it.

  • @carmandan14 - According to police budgets, The impala with its fuel efficient 6 cylinder engine, is used in small areas and cities where high speed and stop and traffic is frequent. The crown vic is used for regular towns and highways. The charger was an experimental car in which some departments held onto. The charger was proven to be small on the inside with limited trunk space and was only good for high speed pursuits. The lack of space and viewing area out the windshield is its major flaw.

  • @CamaroSS2236 Clearly this douchebag doesn't care about being factual. He said it himself, 'who would watch 10-60. He's disrespecting EVERYBODY that watches this blatantly. He's clearly saying you have nothing better to do than be tricked by his stupidity. As he said:

    "i said it for the hits. if you do not like do not watch it. who searches 10-60?

    carmandan14 3 months ago"

  • @Thilindel do you have nothing better to do than insult people on youtube? you probably have no life and sit on here all day long. I have no intention of disrespecting people. why do you need to let me know that it is a 10-60? i know that already!!! don't comment then!!!!!!!!

    your stupid you dumbass.

    how is this stup

  • @carmandan14 You don't disrespect people? You fucking lie, FOOL. And you say you don't care what I say? Then FUCKING DON'T REPLY! You ignorant lying fuck. I hope you get car insurance that says 'you're covered' Then when you need it, you're covered for 1 penny. That's the logic behind you lying about this video. A shame that someone has to spell it out for you, seeing how stupid and unable to fathom logical concepts as such... You have failed any Standard of Intelligence. Imbecile...

  • @carmandan14 You ignorant, IGNORANT fuck. You just said people looking at your video are retarded. Then you can't even post the fucking TRUE 0-60. You WORTHLESS piece of garbage. Clearly, having over 35% negatives on your views would get through to that thick -t-h-i-c-k- head of yours that you're a moron.

  • Does this come with a compass and temperature gauge on the dash?

  • yes. you can choose what menu you would like.

  • cool will do man thanks!

  • 2 mpg... i like that...

    XD

  • ye, i got a sri on my monte, and its really loud when i get it on, im trying to get my dad to put a cai on his 07 impala ltz

  • lol 7-8 sec 0-60 just lol

  • Wow this is a lot faster than the Crown Vic.

  • my gran prix 0-60 is 7.5

  • 5.7L chevy caprice 9c1 baby..all day.

  • its not a 0-60. fail. what is the actual 0-60 time on ltz's?

  • 7.4

  • A little red line for a good time!

  • That's what I love about GM engines. The 3800 series engines were V6 but they had V8 like power or the I should say the engine has a V8 groan to it when you step on it. The same applies for the 3.9L, and the High Feature 3.6L engine.

  • i agree, even before my magnaflow muffler, my 3800 seris II sounded great, its got that deep tone that a lot of v6 dont have these days

  • very long long gears

  • The 3.9 is nice, 224 hp, 240 lb ft. torque. It even sounds a little like a small block. sucks more gas then the base 3.5 tho

  • 224hp? really? here in Canada, they are 243. I used to work at a GM dealer.

  • mine is rated at 233 hp. at first it did suck gas more than the 3.5. but have the active fuel managment and 60,000 miles on it, I usually average about 32 mpg. I find that great for the power and the size of the vehicle. do you have a 3.5?

  • no YOU enter your text here. lol

  • I have a 2009 impala LTZ with a 3.9 its pretty quick

  • I don't know where he got 3.9 from haha

  • what do you mean? It is a 3.9 Liter Engine.

  • Damn this is slow! Started at 10 MPH and still took 8 seconds to 60.

  • What do you expect in a large sedan?

  • It's not that big, but would expect better from a large engine. Hell my 97 4Cyl Altima with over 200K does 0-60 in 9 seconds.

  • starts at 1 so 7 secs. C&D rates at 7.4 secs. 0-60

  • Very nice choice in car. Do you think my Malibu LTZ with the 3.6 is just as quick???

  • That is about 1 sec faster. I love the malibu LTZ. I would have boughten that, but it was not out when i needed a car.

    What kind of mileage do you get? I have the AFM so I get up to 30 on the highway.

  • Ive been averaging about 29 in mix driving but the most ive ever been able to get is about 31 or 32.. And YES its for the 3.6 V6.. "Im very light with the peddle" And plus I always use TAPSHIFT which really helps in the fuel economy dept.LOL!

  • actually its quicker. 3.6l is 265hp i believe, this is 240hp.

  • I'm sure when they refresh it it'll be getting the CTS's 3.6 (non DI).

  • Seems very rev-happy for such a large-piston engine... I need to get more acquainted with the underrated 3900!

  • revhappy? check out the lincoln mkz!!! talk about rev-friendly!? and so is the mks.

  • ur a pig, how many "american" cars have you actually owned? for the most part if you take care of your car, any car, itll go at least 100k miles. its just retards race around from light to light treating their wheels like shit.

    most of your so called imports are built in america too

  • correct!

  • @dubChemistry Actually, as of late, it's the Japanese who have been having the serious problems. Honda can't build an Automatic to save their lives, Subaru had issues with headgaskets and turbos (Which were, granted, mostly user error) and Toyotas have had rusting frames, failing brakes and more.

    It seems an American car breaks more, but it's less major, whereas when the Imports go, they go hard and cost you a fortune to repair.

  • 8 seconds?...adequate family hauler

  • You know that's a V6, a V8 Impala SS would be quite a bit faster.

    But no offense, that is pretty slow. I think that the V6 Impala's are rated at around 230HP and they are only slightly faster than my 2002 I4(158HP) Camry which can hit 0-60 in just over 8 seconds.

  • Oh, i will not argue this is slow. I am not a professional that can achieve the perfect time. I read that the official 0-60 for this is 7.4 secs. The SS would be nice at 5.6 secs. :)

  • Yeah, I've always loved the Impala SS... particularly the '96 model because that's the last RWD model they made.

    However, I have heard rumors that a RWD SS is in the works(that would be awesome!)

  • i believe it...american cars are pigs....only american car i would drive is a mustang

  • Well I dunno about them being "pigs" they just can't handle worth shit. And I hope when you say the only American car you would drive is a Mustang, that you meant classic mustangs like the Eleanor. The new ones are shit(imo).

    What about the Corvette? It's one of the few American cars that can actually handle corners. Plus, it put's $250k "super cars" to shame.

  • Why is a 2010 Camaro a pig......look at a comparison test.

  • This car weighs 3,649 pounds.

  • exactly... not exactly helping it get to 60 lol

    Frickin safety standards....

  • dude the new impalas are gay. the old ones are way better and faster

  • I wouldn't mind having an SS. 0-60 in 5.6.......But that is pretty fast.  But if i was given the option, i would take a G8 GT with the 6.0 over the SS Impala. So I see what you are saying. I drove a new malibu, and those drive a lot better than my Impala.

  • yea dont agree pff u just cant afford a new one like i have

  • yeah cool i lvoe wasting my time on coming on here and telling people they cant afford things i have too..........

  • Yeah mhmm ur soo right im just never on u tube, and y have old crap when u can have new, better. new impala is wayy faster! i got Lots under MUH HOOD here in canada we like HP

  • yeah, cause that's a good way to turn $32,000 into speed for someone serious about speed. Sheesh.

  • after discounts i paid about 25k

  • I meant for that Canadian girl's SS. With your 3.9, you obviously weren't going for something fast and that's fine. I was just saying that buying an Impala SS just because of its hp is like buying a Corvette because you can put suitcases in the back lol

  • definitely not faster...at all...in any way

  • LAME. it takes it 8 seconds to go from "10" to 60 not from "0" like the title says and that's really slow, how much do those cars weigh?

  • I know, I said 0-60 because who looks for 10-60.  I wanted to see how fast my car was, and when you start at 10mph it really slows it down. From road tests i have seen, it can do 7.3 to 60, which is not that bad. I just did not want my tires to spin....:) I know, lame.

  • lame eh haha u prolly drive a bicycle which dont even reach 60 k asshole

  • first off, here in America we laugh at idiots that use kmh, not sure why, and second i drive an srt-4 which is wayyyyy faster than your piece of crap. i burn my tires through the speed range your hitting

  • HAHAHAHA i love that fuel economy!!!! 2mpg and 4 when he lets off!!@!@!@!!

  • What is so funny about that. I really do not get what is so amusing about that. At the end the computer takes about 2 seconds to react, it was just not on camera. It when to 3CYL mode and 99MPG.

  • He was probably grilling you, but I see some humor in how usually we hear about like, 18 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and whatever, and here we got... uh... 2. lol

    not that it's shameful or anything, as you were flooring it at high rpm after all.

  • Car weights 3649 lbs, not 4100, has 233 HP/ 240 TQ, and is in fact quite slow...That was 10-60 by the way genius, you weren't stopped.

  • Still would beat the 220HP your Ford Fusion has and your car has half the looks that this one does....genius!

  • Thanks! The new LTZ's with the 18's do look sharp. Mine is black.

  • they do not weigh 3600 lbs. they weigh like 4300+

  • *4100 my bad.

  • 2 mpg

  • its at wide open throttle, man, of course its gonna be around 2-4mpg, a 4 cylinder would be at like 5-6mpg, and the SS is at 0-1mpg at wide open throttle. so really, i dont see how is so funny, its normal.

  • why is that hilarious?

  • lol what are u talking about it was 2 mpg lmao.

  • Shoulda got an SS

  • wow, my dads got an 07 ltz wit the 3.9, and his is soo much faster than this.

  • you should post it, it would be fun! :)

  • hahahahah, 10 to 62 in 9 sec

    hilarious

  • what the fuck are you smoking

  • what am i smokin? the car is slow as fuck!

  • its a 4100lb full size sedan, with 233hp 3.9L V6...of course its slow! lol...its not a sports car! lol

  • You owe me a 0-60 and call this a 10-60, I can't find any 3.9 impalas vids of it

  • vids of what? theres some Montes that give the 0-60 and is same as Impala.

  • whats the difference if he started at 10mph like .4 seconds? is it that important?

  • The difference is that the car is already in motion. I have an LT 3.5 and if I make a quick left turn and then accelerate into traffic, my car gets to 60 pretty fast too. It also helps if one doesn't floor the pedal.

  • it cannot be possibly to match the performance of the 3.9.

  • actually, they are about the same. The 3.9 has a different intake manifold than the 3.5 to help with the lack of low end torque, but it lowers its top end. they are the same engine essentially. I have an LT 3.5 and i raced a 3.9 from a 20mph roll and won b/c after 5000rpm, i would start to pull away. but when we went from 0mph, he won b/c he could get off the line a little quicker.

  • werd?

    I would've thought since the 3.9 has more hp, and more torque it'd win in any case... but I've never raced either one

  • wtf looked like a 10-60 in 8 seconds how gay....could it b n e slower?
