I have yet to see one of the Impala SS cars, not even at the Chevy dealer that I drive by everyday to work. I've seen a few Grand Prix GTXs pop up hear and there though.

 

yea I'd love to own one, probably more a GP but Impala would be a great addition to my driveway

But they are quite fast, would be better with a 6speed auto, but gm will have it in a few I'm sure

 

Agreed!

But some more exterior design que's couldnt hurt

 

Actually it has 0 RWTQ

 

Har Har. FWTQ!

 

I was thinking, maybe the guy painted the emblems, to be different! That's all I could come up with, because I have yet to see another one with the red emblems, and I've been lookin'! I was stopped at a light, talking to the GF, and I caught it at the last minute, out of the corner of my eye. It was definately a new one I saw the new tailights........kinda. I guess you could get a few bodies in the trunk, eh!

 

that's probably flywheel ratings and not to the wheels

 

Do you know of any manufacture that rates the cars power at the wheels?

 

Yep, way to go-another front wheel drive sewing machine POS!

 

FWD? yes.

Sewing Machine? no.... unless there is an option I don't know of.

POS? How do you figure?

 

You could argue the ls1 fbodies kind of did, because that is kind of what it works out to on most of them.

 

Darth, buddy...don't argue with people like that. Seriously. It will give you a headache and make you wonder where people come up with such ludicrous statements. Because, as we all know, said person I am sure has NEVER, EVER drive one, nor will they.

My 68 year old uncle, one of the most die-hard Chevy gear heads ever (restored and owned Super Chevy Show 1st in class winner '55 Bel Air and '70 LS6 Chevelle) traded his '95 Impy SS in on his '04 Impala SS a year ago. He loves it, and it isn't nearly as nice as the '05! He said between the lighter weight, better handling and the FASTER s/c 3800, what's not to love?

Again, arguing with someone that thinks all FWD = crap is like pissing in the wind. No matter how it goes, it won't be good...

 

You must mean '06. The '05 and '04 are basically the same car.

I like mine so far. I'll only planning to keep it for a couple of years though.

 

Oops, good call...you are correct. FWIW, I like the '04-'05 Impy SSs. The new one is a nice step up, but the current cars are fun as well.

 

Count me in as another idiot who thinks it should have been rwd, but thats how I feel about it. That being said, my friend's dad was considering trading in his current Impala for a new SS Impy. I really want him to do it, but I don't think it is going to happen. The new Impalas are pretty nice cars, and having the v8 in there really gives the car some character, fwd or not. I just wish they had kept more of last years styling in it, because I think the new MY car is too bland. The Impy may not be the most soul stirring car on the road, but at least it had a look that was easily identifiable. Thats how I feel with the Taurus/Five Hundred as well. Does every mid sized sedan need to be as boring looking as a Toyota or Honda?
