@mill888888 you would be one of those people. monte ss were still front wheel drive and fitted with the ls4 TRANSVERSE engine! they should have been rwd though :(
This car moves decently... just not fast enough for a V8 that boasts 300hp... I just beat one of them on a 10mph - 95mph roll tonight by two car lengths with my 2003 Nissan Maxima V6 6speed manual...bone stock.
The 4spd auto on the impala definitely kills the power...
its actually 0-60 in about 5 seconds or under, they dont floor it right at the start of the video dumbass. and its not a waist of money my friends mom has one, there awesone. luxury and fast as hell
Why don't these bitches have a 6 speed manual? GODDAMNIT!!!!!!!!!! Once finish up at Wyotech 3 years from now, I'm gonna put a Corvette tranny in mine...if I can find one lol!!! The damn thing sounds like a Vette!!!
@prosurfer2222 Your the stupid ass trolling muthafucker replying to a comment that I wrote 2 years ago back when I knew little about cars. Sorry buddy, but I'm not gonna give ur homely miserable ass the time of day, bc I can guarantee your not as knowledgeable about cars as I am now.
@Hendrixidol LMAO.....yeah....ok....been working on cars since i was 14, graduated high shcool in 2005 went to UTI in 07, graduated in 09 im 24 i think i know more
yea my 08 LT does exactly the same but when i rented an 09 cuz they were doing work on it the 09 LS impala switched at 55 insted of 60 and when u floored it below 45 it switched to first gear
I would think that the impala SS would have a lower first gear than your LT. Giving the SS more torque on the low end, but giving the LT the edge in fuel economy.
If this car had a better transmission (even a manual) it would atleast look much faster. The only reason I guess Chevy made the gears so long is to reduce wheelspin. But wtf, why couldn't they just make it RWD?!
this is for the people who seem to not use their brains: You must keep in mind it is hard to acheive a perfect 0-60 when your holding the damn camera at the same time!!
@joeldude76 *sigh* these replies on youtube just drain my energy sometimes. Now didn't you read where I clearly stated WHILE HOLDING THE CAMERA?! Is this just for attention? Now I can get specificl! You find a flat surface. Make sure your tire pressure's good. Hold your RPM's to 2K Walk into the Gas NOT MARCH(stomp)!! A second later give it more(depending on your traction issues) plus hold ur camera! LOL! Really you shouldn't "gas to floor and hold it if you have a strong car! You'll just spin!
they wouldn't destroy this car, it'd definitely be close. ive been in a mustang gt under full acceleration and it didn't really seem much faster if at all
yea i have this car and ive beaten a lot of mustang gts with it. yes, it weighs more than a mustang, but the horsepower more than makes up for it, especially if you use the manual no-clutch shifting style. tires seem to stick more that way.
his tires squeal at 1 second and he hits 60 at about 7.5 seconds through the video, his video isn't even 9 seconds long! it took roughly 6.5 that's not slow! maybe compared to a vette or gto its slow...
tire squealing does not mean thats when he took off, when the camera moves is when he launched its slow it cant even beat our geo storm it does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds
2.5 seconds huh? lol how much work have u done to that??? btw, i have this car and on my gtech pro ss i got 5.45 seconds... not too bad considering its almost a 4,000 lbs car. what does ur geo weigh? 2500 lbs? also, the camera shook at 1 second, the tires squeal more at 1.5... c&d got 5.6 for this car.
a lil bit, it weighs 2,670lbs w/no driver as 468c.i. BBC turbo 400 tranny w/ a ford 9inch rear end lol come c it @ aaronfryxell/ utube corvettes and gtos are slow after riding n the "storm" does this "pala" have a 3.4L or a 3.8L hard 2 tell from the vid but it kinda sounds like a V8 but i didnt think they offered a V8 in impalas these days
lol probably. actually it's my friend's uncles. i went to the track and watched him race it 3 times. so fucking loud! lol there was one car that did the 1/4 in 6.4 seconds @ 210 mph! that was fucking amazing! lol
i got a message saying that you commented me but i couldn't tell cause it didn't link it... lol anyway, i haven't done anything to mine it's all stock. i'm kinda teetering on whether i should or shouldn't mod it. lol
the 06 ss will do 155... it has 4 speeds its hits 2nd at 60, 3rd at 100 and 4th at 140... after it hit 140, the tach drops and it keeps gainin rmps.. i know cause i own one also
yeah i knew the g8 had a lot of hp. and u figure if that has 361, rwd, and a 5 or 6 speed and does 5.1 sec, the impala rwd would probably do 5.3/5.4 sec
These cars are sweet but I wish they made them in RWD. There cool because they cost like 30K and with the cylinder shut-off you can get like 28 MPG on the highway.
I was expecting it, but honestly no i don't. What they may be talking about is the car slightly pulls to one side during the initial launch but then releases instantly after wheel spin. But yeah mine doesn't at least. lol
My '06 SS dosent have that bad of torque steer either, its there but not like its made out to be. You just cant get comftorable you have to expect it and its not a big deal.
lol yeah when i first floored it, i gripped the wheel really hard expecting it but after, i was like "that's it???" i still don't know why a big deal was made by the reviewers regarding it...
not only does it weigh a lot but it was also 91 degrees outside when this was filmed. i can get my moms durango to 60 in 8.5ish seconds in cold weather and in summer it can take almost 10 seconds so yeah cooler weather and this would be quicker.
i saw your vid and sure your car is faster, but i was referring to the comment memphisaudiosound put about impala lt being faster, i think you misunderstood and thought it was about the lt1 engine, what he is talking about is the impala lt v6 being faster than the ss v8
They top out at 154. Chevy doesn't offer the 5.3 on the 9C1 package as it does not meet some sort of standards. However some departments do buy regular SS's and have police equipment installed. A department near me has one. Even has the stock 18 inch rims and SS badges. They use it as their K-9 car.
Jacksonville, FL SO went immediatly from Crown Vics to Impala's after they came out. Its kinda funny listening to cops talking about how the Impala PWNS the crown vic. Seriously, word for word, in a McDonalds.
the crown vic is rwd and has a torque boost. so the performance kind of equals out a bit. i do wish the impala ss was rwd, it could be a lot better. i personally like the B body ss's from 94 to 96 better.
its incredible how most people dont have a clue of what they be talking about. 06+ monte carlos are rwd. only the ss model though
