i went head to head with a black Impala SS we were door to door all the way up to 100mph! i left the tranny in drive and let it shift itself through the gears, we both lifted at about 110. i was really surprised to b honest we pulled over to talk... these were his mods. headers flowmaster cat back ,power programmer, pulleys cold air intake,kn, thats all he told me anywayz, my mods r below is he bull****tin me,,, u think ? is there a better way to launch my GTA? whatdaya think can those things b made to run that good or do i have a slug of a GTA

What?? From his mods I take it you're talking about a newer Impala SS, though it would make more sense that he hung with you if it were an older one built up. I mean, I thought they were V6 right now. Something sounds fishy.

He is talking about the 94-96 Implala SS.

They do not make a new (fwd) Impala SS.

Maybe he had more mods then he let on- you have a 400lbs weight advatage+ all the mods....

They do not make a new (fwd) Impala SS.

And a damn good thing, too... putting SS emblems on a friggin' rebadged Toyota would be all sorts of heresy. I hate this stupid "Let's rename a Toyota and trick people into buying them" crap. Ugh.

If it weren't for all the engine work on the GTA, I'd find it perfectly reasonable... maybe he swapped in an LS1 and lied about it?

i mean one of the rear drive ones..... the LT1's could i have launched better??

avro206

um...ATH, a new fwd Impala is not a toyota- if that's what you meant. THe Pontiac Vibe, however, is a toyota- underneath.

Just how bad was yuour launch? Unless it was horrible, I doubt it weould have made much difference.

He either was BSing you about mods or you have some serious tuning issues to work out. Those impalas for being big beasts can be a quick car. A guy we all cruise with locally has 3 96 impala SS' all have exhaust work and his dark cherry red one has a supercharger and that thing hauls *** for a big boat. I've seen him hand many modded stangs and camaro's their asses with that car. But if those were his only mods i don't see him keeping up with you like he did.

Doesn't Vader have like 2 of them? He's got them doing about 170-180mph now, goal is 200mph though.

Those 94-96 Imp SS are pretty fast when modded correctly, and their counterpart Caprices are not to shabby either. I would love to own a 94-96 Imp SS or even a LT1 Caprice!(FOR THAT FAMILY CAR PEFORMANCE )
