  • @BeulahLips all i have is exhaust and its better to keep it in third, fourth is o/d and the car just falls on its face. ive tried both.

  • I find this video easily believable. I'd even believe that the car is almost 100% stock (would need to have a tune to get rid of the speed limiter). I had my S/C Monte at 126 mph bone stock and it still had a bit left so I have no doubt that a 300+hp V8 is capable of 150+mph in an Impala.

  • Very nice I wonder why mine never had the lights get lit up?

  • i took my dads car up to 115mph and 120 in the middle

  • I have a 2008 Impala SS. Will the car top out at that speed unmodified? No cutout?

  • At 5500 it's doing 140 which calculated correctly with the stock 3.08 gears and tires, in third (direct) gear. It looks like he just made it to 5800 which is 153mph, so yes the speedo stops reading at 140.

    QUESTION IS: 1. Is this car all stock? The stock SS pulls to 5800? 2. If you had shifted to overdrive, would it keep pulling in 4th (OD), or would it actually go faster in third?  I hope someone with a stock SS that has tried both can answer. Thanks.

  • late for work? hop in.

  • have one myself, but DAMN i have never seen so many lights come on the dash before....jeez you trashed that bitch! and yeah....these cars are capable of doing 150+ you ignorant fucks. Learn to do some research before you make yourselves just look like dumb asses to those of us who do own an SS, and have been 150+....

  • @thejdmnut

    think I'm gonna have to mod this vid to point out what each light means lol.

  • @thejdmnut how do you take off the speed limiter

  • gonna throw a rod if you do that too much

  • Kids never learn the tach cut off at 140mph but the rpms are still going so yeah 150plus lol

  • check engine..... awwwwwwwww.

  • 140 km ....bunch of fucking douche bags

    

  • @sarahl4120 It clearly say MPH in the center of the speedometer, the newer Chevy's let you change the display from one to the other, but that's not on Km/H...

  • @sarahl4120 YOURE A MOTHERFUCKING COCKSUCKIN' IDIOT ITS NOT KPH IS MPH DUMB ASS BITCH DICKLESS ASSHOLE.

  • @sarahl4120 how stupid are you?

  • I like how he has 4 miles to the gallon...

  • @gunny8unny93 damn thats terrible

  • My 2002 9c1 will also do 140 and gets there almost as fast...No offense but the 5.3 is a waste of those two extra cylinders

  • This car could easily do over 140. Put a corvette gauge cluster in ;)

  • That thing sounds like sex..

  • lol instant economy 5mpg. love it!

  • For everyone saying not 150+ the speedo was pinned at 140 and his RPMs keep going up, that is how he got to 150+, he probably had a GPS or something else telling him his exact speed.

  • That's not true I own a 07 impala SS, I have a scanner and it topped out factory at 154mph, don't forget because it only reads 140, you still have rpms!!! Looks like he needs abs sensors for that traction, i don't know about all the other problems, mine doesn't do all of that.

  • @78busa Hell, my '02's service traction light came on and replacing the wheel speed sensors and ABS sensors didn't do the trick. Come to find out, it was the MAF sensor that was bad.

  • That's not true I own a 07 impala SS, I have a scanner and it topped out factory at 154mph, don't forget because it only reads 140, you still have rpms!!! Looks like he needs abs sensors for that traction, i don't know about all the other problems, mine doesn't do all of that.

  • That is impossible to get to 150 MPH in the IMPALA SS?

  • 140+ not 150+

  • *sighs* 13yr old who doesn't even drive not even worth my time to make up a new comment so I'll just copy an old one

    Yes I know my car is better than that hot pink barbie corvette you got back when your parents still thought you were a little girl. Now remember to wear your helmet ok, I put a big pink skull and crossbones sticker on it just for you so you'd feel a bit more masculine. Run along to school little one and remember stranger danger, stranger danger, have a great day *waves*

    k thx bye

  • @mixerda83 um there right its 140+ not 150 sorry i think you should go back to school

  • @eskimochild87 meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow i want turkey salmon and chicken oceanfish flavors keep me lickin' i want turkey salmon and chicken oceanfish flavors keep me singin' now you know the cat's meow means meow mix meow mix meow meow meow meow meow meow meow i want chicken i want liver meow mix meow mix please deliver meow mix cat says I win and did 150+ pwned, the rofl copter goes whoosh whoosh whoosh k-thx bye
  • Comment removed

  • @mixerda83 yeah they are right. this would be 140+ since you have no clue where 150 would be. i mean sure you could be doing 150+ but to be more correct youd say 140+

  • @azcade101 ur such a queer 

  • @theFordguy881: Why you say that? I am not.

  • @azcade101 im sorry that was my brother, didnt mean it

  • Next time have a GPS to prove your speed

  • Nice low tire pressure light, service trac light and flashing check engine light.

    My 3.9L Impala 9C1 will do 140 too. =) Just can't get there as quick.

  • Comment removed

  • Inst Economy

    4 MPG

    xD

  • dude no wonder why all the damn lights are on on your car. engine light, tire sensor, and 2 others jeeze

  • I always hated the FWD Impala SS. But there's no getting around how damn torquey that V8 is. Shame the police Impalas don't have the V8 like the SS :/

  • Nice Dude! I want the ss so bad. I have an LT :(

  • ive waxed em with my 02 maxima with 3.5 and a 6 speed by over 4 car links

  • @maximanismo1 A smiled as I coasted by this 6 speed maxima who was ever so struggling against my Monte a few weeks ago!

    A G35 had to give me the thumbs up a year ago when he couldn't do anything else but respect it!! LoL!! I've pedaled on these cars on Hwy85 and 285!! Shit I think sometimes people just start shit out here just to see how fast it will leave them...I honestly believe that in SOME cases.

  • @maximanismo1 "links"? what is car links? hahaha you mean lengths, car lengths.

  • @vmaxx55 i was wonderin when some1 would catch that lol

  • nice car but is there a reason why almost all ur warning lights are on and why T/C says it needs service if you can reply it would be awesome!

  • I have a 2008 impala ss. You can check it out on my "Stunting Hard Performance" video. Let me tell you guys all about it. Front to back. Don't get me wrong, I love my SS. It is fast, sounds great(40 series flowmaster), and kicks ass!!! It true about the tranny. It seems to slip sometimes from a standstill. It makes an annoying clicking sound as it changes from 8cyl to 4cyl mode. It has a rough ride. My air bag lights comes on also. I don't want to trade it but I am getting very close to trading.

  • Dude such a bad ass car. Those 5.3's are beasts. is it stock?

  • @ibold1000 i out ran a mustang gt and a gto through a '1000 ft dragstrip if u can believe it. I also got beat by a gt because i spun a little off the line. In my wife's 08 impala ss. you can see it on prescott raceway impala vrs gt i think. also i've got a 140mph run on impala at 140 both on youtube.

  • The car bone stock will do 154mph. Your video is right on and valid. I have a 2007 SS and they rock.

  • Flashing Engine Light means a major engine problem you know....

  • i have an 06 LT lol i love my car but man if i had an SS.... ;)

  • Speed = (RPM times tire diameter) / ((final drive times overdrive) times 336)

  • they need to bring the impala ss back.

  • Pretty ballsy dude, pretty ballsy

  • check engine lol

  • why did GM put a 140 mph speedo in the Impala but in the Grand Prix its 150mph.

  • door ajar, low tire pressure, fog lamp, check engine light?

  • at least it went up to 5 mpg at the end

  • It's clear at 0:49, the tach is reading about 4400 RPM. My hearing sucks.  But you can clearly see from 0:54 to 0:55, that the car decelerates at a rate of about 10 mph/sec. Anyone who has had physics knows, as the speed decreases, the deceleration rate also decreases. Less effort to maintain a slower speed, etc. Due to my inadequate hearing, I can't tell when acceleration stopped, but clearly the car was over 150 given the upshift - 2-3 mph/100 rpm in OD easily past 140 from upshift.

  • @Thilindel Finally, someone else besides myself who understands the laws of Physics. People always assume that a car can only do what is on the dash. Maybe the design only allows a display of 140 MPH because of the information center in the speedometer cluster, hmmmm. Anyway, my truck indicates 120 MPH, but will not do past 107 MPH because of the limiter. Nice post Thilindel, very nice explanation... '86 Mustang GT says 85MPH, and we all know that they will were running 130+ from the dealer.

  • @dlfranklin I love it. I own an '85 Firebird, and needless to say I've made some money because people look in the dash and only see 85. Stuff like that makes my day.

  • @1985TA355 Yep, as I sit and read posts from people, I really see that not everyone who comments on these youtube videos know anything about cars. Alot of people think they are, but are not. I hate it when comments are posted from people who are ignorant to the automotive world. I grew up under the hood and spent my time with my uncles as they were replacing engines or rebuilding them, while my other cousins were running around playing and riding bicycles. Automobiles are my passion.

  • you get better MPG at 150 the 120 lol.

  • I have owned my '06 SS for about 3 years now. I am really starting to regret buying it. The fit and finish is horrible. The sunvisors are too small, their is a clicking sound that comes on sometimes from the dash when the AC is on, Hood Open sign comes on when it is actually closed, and all kinds of gremlins. The ONLY thing good about these cars is the LS4 5.3 V8, that's it, Period!!! Trading it ASAP!!! Oh, it only has 45,000 miles with regular synthetic maintenance. This car sux, real bad :-(

  • @dlfranklin yea they do suck my bro has one going on third trans. had to comment cause he had the same clicking noise it was some kind of solenoid or something that controls the fresh air flap to a/c or some shit... factory warrenty fixed it. his was bad and was annoying as hell. he also has probs with tire montering system telling him he has no air in tires when he does. he also hates it and is tradin the bitch in pronto @ 61,000

  • @JPARKERZ28 Possibly the worst car that GM has built. And get this, I called the dealer today and gave them my vin number, and according to them, there are no open recalls on the impalas. But everyone seems to have the exact same problems, WTF!!! Someone needs to do something about this. I mean, EVERYONE who owns one is experiancing the same issues. I hate to say it, but I am going back to BMW, should have never sold my old bimmer. I tried to keep it American made, but, come on GM, WTF!!!!!!!

  • @dlfranklin if you have problems with heat while idle at red light or something, air pocket in coolant. same problem also trans blew out on me, so check your trans fluid. if its dark brown, its burnt up or oil is some how leaking into the system. look for coolant leaks to. car had that, engine was rebuilt

    07 chevy impala

  • @smitty446 I havn't had any overheating issue "knock on wood", but I check all the fluids on a regular basis. I will take your advise on the trans fluid though. Matter of fact, I am going into the garage to check it now. The rotors may very well be warped like you said, I thought about that, and had them checked, but according to dealer, they are fine. I just waisted $1,500 (new Perilli P Zero tires and a Magnaflow exhaust), because we are trading the car in ASAP.

  • @dlfranklin lol the sunvisors are waaaay too small! that was one complaint i had as well. that clicking sound you are talking about, do you sometimes hear it from either of the 4 vents and even up near the rearview mirror??? i can hear that same damn clicking sound and it DRIVES me isane! lol

  • @milo814 The clicking noise is embarrassing when you have guests in the car. Oh, and when you go over certain bumps in the road, there is a wierd popping noise from the rear suspension that sounds like a worn bushing or something. The side view mirrors are too small also. Twice while taking off from a stop, the transmission kinda slipped for a couple seconds before catching properly to take off. The front seats are like sitting on a park bench (wrong seats for an SS). The brakes vibrate from 70+

  • @dlfranklin i still like the car but the clicking sound is irritating. it's really faint but it can definitely be heard. the side mirrors are too small. i had that same sound coming from the back. i dont remember what it was but they fixed it for me. i have had that happen with the trans in winter time or when the road is dusty/dirty where the car almost forces itself into 2nd car too soon which is annoying lol

  • @milo814 my impala did same with trans... then it blew out... only 53k miles on it

  • @smitty446 that's no good! i think my fluid was recently flushed and replaced at 32K when i brought it in. i pray to god it holds up cause i just bought a CAI and exhaust which will most likely void the warranty. if the trans were to blow, i'll quickly put the factory equip back on lol

  • @dlfranklin vibrating brakes? rotors must be warped, do you have a shaking in steering wheel also?

  • @smitty446 Just had the transmission serviced and had all four rotors resurfaced. The vibration from the brakes has stopped. For now. But I still hate this damn car, lol. Oh, and the dealer replaced the battery with a new heavy duty AC Delco because they said that it was not holding a proper charge. Funny, cause it was fine to me with no issues, but oh well. 3rd battery since 2007, WTF!!!!!

  • the only thing i dislike about them..is the drivetrain..GM can do better then this..fwd v-8 with a 4 speed tranny..that is just retarded..

  • @smovaj the thing that sux is that the power has to be very limited. this engine is totally capable of well north than 303 hp.

  • oh shit 4mpg somebody needs a gas station quick!

  • @mixerda83 - i hate you cause you just added more reason to want to own one :( My friend turned me onto the car but like most ppl say the FWD scares you away but then again...it's such a silly car I want to own one. I actually test drove one and it was like OMG it's so nice. Awesome video btw. :D

  • @homegrownxxx Dude stay away from this car. This is the worst car I ever bought (besides a '93 mazda 626 ES I bought in 1997). Man, don't let the high speed capability of the impala ss fool you. This car was ment to go fast in a straight line, nothing more. I hate my '06 SS. I never miss a service schedule, only use premium gas, and only use mobil 1 synthetic oil, perelli tires, weekly detail, wax every three months, and this thing still shows no appreciation for the pampering. STAY AWAY PLEASE!

  • @dlfranklin What do you expect. None of the things you mentioned will help handling, lol. Add a handling kit and aftermarket suspension. Oh you said you use premium - Did you tune for that?

  • @narb182 Well the owner's manual recommends premium fuel, but it isn't required. But the premium fuel will allow you to get the full 303HP and fuel mileage from the 5.3, supposedly, so no tune is required to run premium fuel. I have owned a few high performance cars in the past (BMW, Mercedes), so I understand handling and quality. The Impala SS has non of those traits. By the way, would you like to buy it from me $11,000, lol. The wife wants a real performance sedan, back to a BMW 550 or 750.

  • @narb182 Also, this is an SS (Super Sport). I shouldn't have to upgrade all kinds of stuff to make it handle well. Super Sport should mean just that. You should drive one everyday for a couple of months to understand why myself and other owners hate this car and regret buying it. Everyone always comment and say "wow, nice car they are bad to the bone", and I just tell them not to believe the hype. It may be the fastes Impala SS built, but it is the worst also.

  • I adore this car! despite the fact that its front wheel drive, it handels so well on snow caked roads in my opinion!

  • how do you not get pulled over

  • I've read that 2006-2009 Impala SS have a governor limited top speed of 154mph.

  • @l2pn1 they have no gov.

  • @chestax I re-read it and you are right. I stand corrected.

  • lol @ 5mpg, not bad for what your doing though, lol

  • i definitely believe u got it up to 150+, those imps are real quick, next time to prove it to ur non-believing viewers u should gps your speed, btw, have u ever had any troubles with ur tranny? I've been looking into these for a while and have seen that a lot of people have had trans slip+ complete trans failure even when they only have 70k miles on them or so

  • @tbirdsport302 blown trans at 52k miles on car.

  • @smitty446 yeah i would imagine, i was looking into these and bonneville gxp's and havent heard anything good about their trans,they are good trans but not for 275hp+ engines. i think that for someone with a heavy foot just better get a rwd or an import v6 because the performance V8's from america's transmissions have not been able to hold up to the 300 hp of these engines....

  • I don't see 150mph...

    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.

  • If ya can't figure out how I got to 150 then your retarded and I'm not gonna sit here and explain it again just read the comments below. While I'll give the Nissan Maxima props and for a lil 6 banger they are pretty decent, ya happen to run up against a driver that couldn't launch the imp or just didn't feel like pushing it that day. off the line no traction except if ya know how to drive it and if ya did a 40-50 roll vs one that isn't tuned it will bog itself to death in 2nd gear.

    k-thx bye

  • @mixerda83 Your exactly right some people would be way ahead to not comment. But if they choose to show their ignorance so be it. One way to tell exactly how fast your going is to set it on average speed and keep hitting your reset button. I too have an 08 impala ss and that's how i did it. John number three ss at 140. i figured this out after i made the video. saw 150 by resetting it every few seconds and it was still climbing.

  • @Mr308winmag question can a bonneville 9xp v8 4.6 160 speedometer beat a crown vic police interceptor 140 speedometer.is da bonneville faster because its 160 speed or is da crown vic faster because of its interceptor? or a bonne vs a car like yours

  • @madwestboy the speedometer has no bearing on which car is faster. The crown vic with the interceptor package will only run 137 because it's rev limited. I'm not sure how fast the bonneville will run i'm just not familiar with its performance. Sorry i can't help you.

  • @mixerda83 what is the best way u know to get ti to launch off the line cause it does push so much torque u just end up squeeling when really u want a fast take off, im sick of getting beating off the line by ricegrinders, appreciate any suggestions mixer, peace

  • @mixerda83 dont worry wouldnt be the 1st person sayin their nissan has lightning speed. just wounder how the ss would fair against a 06 cts-v

  • @BOB24502 i guess it depends on who's behind the wheel. i recently raced a 2004 nissan maxima in my ss and won by about 1.5 car length. are you sure it wasn't an LTZ? The LTZ's do 0-60 in about 7-7.5 and a high 15 sec 1/4.

  • @milo814 I have dusted every Nissan Maxipad with my 09 SS I have raced !!!!!!!!!

  • @smczack1 same here!!! :)

  • @BOB24502 ill explain it dumbass. the speedometer only goes to 140. see how the rpms still go up after it hits 140? and when the gas is let off it stays at 140 for a few seconds because its really higher than 140

  • haha....255hp and the car weighs the same....i doubt it. it was probably an LT Impala.

  • @BOB24502 yeah my 05 Maxima could shred this car.

  • @BOB24502 bullshit! there is no way ive seen these cars destroy maximas, sentras type r you are just pissed because you don't have a v8!

  • @BOB24502 I race a my friends buddy nissan maxima nismo and was neck to neck with hime but after a while i started to pull away from him slightly. he had a aoutomatic but i am sure if he had stick he would of smoked me for sure in your case i dont know buddy but could happend i quess

  • @BOB24502 not sayin u did not say u didnt .. heck u prob did but a NoN-Puss driver would have handed u ur azz, cuz I know ur 03 maximax stock aint goin past 135mph so dont even try sayin u got a super specail maxima. but then again u only stayed redline cuz manual vs an auto hmm u got the accel edge cuz redline thats the end of u after 120 ur cars all but outta breath..

  • @Davis2920022001 135mph top speed...? Right... I pushed it to 147mph...

    I just noticed the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT started blinking @ 32s in the video, I guess those impalas are not made to be pushed that hard :)...

    Also the tire pressure and seat belt lights are on... is this guy suicidal?

  • @BOB24502: no you cant do that. you can only go up to 140 mph in an impala ss.

  • @azcade101 Maybe... but my car is a Nissan Maxima... not an impala SS

  • @BOB24502

    is this guy suicidal? hehehe I love that comment might have a new tag for me :P

    check engine was part of the service traction where tranny is spazzing at those speeds

    low tire pressure was caused because running the DR's which have no sensor pressure gauge in them

    left upper light is traction control off

    middle lower is fog lamps on

    upper right was tire pressure

    wish could post screen shots on my comments, have one from when the car did 158 while had the tuner running

  • I only see 140MPH....

    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.

  • @BOB24502 sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit...u probably did!!! but you wouldnt beat me like that lol..i know how to drive..race maximas all the time and that cvt is just SHITTY!

  • I just bought n 06 impala SS n i love it the LS4 is a great motor! Granted i think it was dumb making it FWD but its still quick as hell and runs like a champ! Great vid bro!

  • @bigtyme20 I agree whith the FWD wish it was RWD. I drove a new mustang gt in 06 and i finally got it up to 140 after redlining it in every gear. It advertised 300 hp while our 08 impala advertises 303 and will definitely get there faster through the 1/4 mile or top end. But i still wish it were a RWD.

  • First off y'all got the SS impala fucked up! Buncha haters....

    Great vid man!

  • lmao service traction control dont kill that impala!!

  • idk, i made a 2000 grand prix with a 3.8L v6 with over 500hp,, front wheel drive... lol.sure i wanted a corvette, but it was fun.

  • Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken

    turning a wrench does not make you a mechanic

    maybe someone with a bad case of plumbers crack?

    simply put, name any 4 door 3800 pound full size car that can compete and cost 30 grand....well back in 07 that is the G8 wasn't out yet or I woulda bought that

    who would want a 4 door FWD 300+ hp car

    i dunno but fuck the charger paper weight until ya hit the STR-8, fuck the ford 300 or what ever their full size was at the time

    k-thx bye

  • @mixerda83 I have a 06 Impala SS mainly because it's a cheap luxury car that has some "sporty" look to it. It doesn't weigh 3800 (I wish) its 4900 :/ And it will still get a decent amount of cars out there. No newer car is a muscle car anymore. Impala SS is just a silverado motor - 2000LBS. :/

  • Looked like barely 140.

  • ya might wanna learn the concept that as a cars RPM increases the tires spin at a faster rate, this equates to further travel over time thus meaning a higher MPH rate.

    my speedo stops at 140, if you cant figure this out ya might need a vision check, my rpm doesn't stop when my speedo stops. I hit 140 roughly around 5300-5400, I upshift at almost 5800 or roughly 144-145mph. RPM's drop to close to 4200 rise to almost 4500

    math would prove I reach a speed close to 153

    have a great day

    k-thx bye

  • *snif snif*

    *emo cries*

    just stating the obvious that you either don't know how the automotive world works or are just a blind/def person as visually you can see my tach rise up and audio would provide evidence that my motors RPM's are rising after I have hit 140 unlike your claim of "Looked like barely 140. " I provide fact and proof that my videos title is correct in 150+

    if ya don't like my reply back don't leave stupid comments

    what pile of shit do you drive might I ask?

    k-thx bye

  • @mixerda83 i have a black 2006 impala ss and by the looks of his channel id say he doesnt know much about cars either. if this car s suck a piece of crap why could it even reach this high speed lol. plus if he does drive something that isnt a piece of crap, how fast does it go? im guessing barely breaks 100 if that. i know good ad well these are fast my friend =]

  • @GETRDUN and what might you drive good sir? i do believe you have the teletubbies in your favorites? so im guessing maybe a.. minivan?! lol

  • @trent1234108 FYI - Teletubbies is for the kids, but no minivan. I have an SS and it's nothing but a slightly faster then usual grocery getter. Now my Super Snake, now that is a real car, not this Impala - Really, my F-350 diesel pick-up is more exciting then the Impala is, but ultimately the wife enjoys the car so if she is happy, then so am I.

  • @GETRDUN in all honesty I would prefer a f350 deisel as well. Love the feeling of deisel power, especially a ford. I myself drive an f150. But my impala ss is certainly not just a little faster than a grocery getter. Driving today I gave it about 3/4 pedal down and burnt out when I as already going 20. Also hit 50 on about 2/3 o a city block.

  • @GETRDUN sike!!!

  • @GETRDUN fuck you gms the best cars company ever

  • @GETRDUN If you think it's a piece of shit, why'd you watch the video? You should be watching videos of Tempos instead.

  • @mixerda83 Mind BLOWN

  • @GETRDUN R u serious? After letting off the gas, it took several seconds to slow down below 140, because that's the mechanical stop of the speedometer. Anyone could extrapolate that beyond that, given negative acceleration, that he easily was beyond 150. Just look at the 140 to 130 drop once it was slowed to where the speedometer registered.

  • @GETRDUN

    LoL did you not notice that when he hit 140mph,WHICH IS THE MOST THAT CLUSTER READS,the RPM's kept going and the needle for the MPH just stayed @ the 140mph mark on the cluster. N u can still hear the motor in the background EVEN when he started slowing down or let off the gas. He was putting the traction control back on and that should let you know that he is hitting over 140mph. I can hit it in my SS too so I know this is not bullshyt. It's a LS MOTOR! DO U FAIL TO REALIZE THAT?!

  • @GETRDUN Dont say the word math around Getrdun, he might piss himself and pass out. Barely 140. :-). Yeah, whatever. Next time your mom lets you take out her caravan try reading the tach and see what happens. :P :P

  • do did the dummy lights go off after the next startup?

  • It's kinda a buzz kill when the speedo won't let you know how fast you're going even though you KNOW you're going above the advertised speed. Great video. I drove one of these at a local Chevy dealership after driving a Cobalt SS, and I believe that the Cobalt will eat the Impala.

  • That LS engine is a damn good design. It just wiped LT's off the map

  • lol check engine light

  • i wanna know why in the world they made this car fwd. I got this car a couple months ago the 09 version wasnt a ss doe... i always thought it was rwd but when i found out it was fwd i wanted to take it back lol .

  • were you holding the camera?

  • hahahahahahahaha adv fuel economy 4mpg lol same as my impala man!! awesome vid!!!

  • whats up with all those service lights

  • ummmmm........

    *scratches head*

    what universe do ya live in?

    stock vs stock they are pretty close, who ever hooks up first will prob take the cake home.

    Roll up next to mine you'll hear a nice lopey idle and wonder wtf, is that sound really coming form the grocery getter?!?!?

  • @mixerda83 The Camry will get u off the line, no question. But as soon as it hits speed limiter it you will pass it.

  • whats a speed limiter and is it removable?

  • @atlgltg In simple terms its a limiter from the computer that won't let u go any faster once you get to a certain speed. Yes, you can disable it.

  • lol 5mpg at 150 mph is pretty damn good btw. but u have balls my friend car is pretty smooth for 150. these cars are underated cuz everyone hates the fwd

  • governer removed now yes, back when vid was shot no. I think I had my 3" cat back exhaust on when I shot this vid not to sure but was just exhaust and K&N CAI none of the major work was done till blew the motor.

  • how did u blow the motor

  • dam talking about getting it but thats crazy u must of taken off the governer

  • The SS models don't have a governor. They are limited only by horsepower. Only the LS, LT, and LTZ have a governor.

  • Very Nice! I Love Super Sports!

  • Why did your check engine light come on?

  • 4mpg lol

  • uh 140???

  • yea, it shifts into 4th at like 142...then the RPMs keep climbing

  • id love to race that in my Acura TL A-SPEC with my mods. why did they only build the car with a 4speed automatic and FWD? retarted not a bad car otherwise but damn chevy makes no sense sometimes.
