flint Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 Hears my 2007 Impala ss. The car is alot of fun for a fwd v8 4 door sleeper. (303hp). I installed a knn intake system on it then got deployed lol so I never got arround to an exhaust or 20's I want. Found zex nitrous a kit to put 175shot on her should go like a raped ape. let me know what ya think! Quote
dragbanshee Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 Nice! Still otta be good on gas too, didn't know they were all wheel drive. Quote
flint Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Posted December 3, 2008 its Front Wheel Drive buddy. and no it only get 18mpg 20 if im on the highway. its not that good but its worth it. i figured that the smart engine would make it better on gas droping it into 4cyl when cruzing but it definatly dosent seem to help. i though it was my driving then i let my mom drive it for like 3 weeks when i left and she said she is geting the same milage that i got. o well. thanks man josh Quote
dragbanshee Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 its Front Wheel Drive guess I didn't pay attention to that. Yea thats pretty sad mileage for a smart engine dropping 4. Quote
LS1Inferno Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 that the 5.3? or the 4.x? it WILL NOT hold a 175 shot 100 max. and throw a cam in it haha its just chevy stuff and its EASY to get parts for. or sell it and gets a G8 or GTO is all you need is seating room. but thats not bad mileage for 303 HP. but you can make more .

flint Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) lol ya i have a 2 year old boy i drive arround so i doubt i would throw on nitrous anyways. i would actuall love to sell it. i live in upatate NY and its not a verry pratical car in the winter time lol. right now its parked in the garague with a cover on it. just cant see paying as much as i do for the car when its going to sit 6 months of the year becasue i dont want it to gewt covered in salt. so i would sell it but i would be buying a nice chevy tahoe or avalanch lol and its the 5.3.l small block with active fule managment 303hp, 323fpt, and 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. i mean hell for a nice crusier car it will go. josh Edited December 3, 2008 by flint Quote
Paddleboy Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) dont wanna sound like a dick or nothing but it is good car for an impala but to make one into an ss . for being a sport car it looks like shit(for a sport). i'm not saying that the car sucks just saying it should look more sporty for all the hype i heard about them. expecially with the smart engine. i agree that a gto would be good choice or maybe one of those dodge challengers, they are bad ass.

flint Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Posted December 4, 2008 well the car isnt realy ment to be a "sports" with the bose radio, heated lether seats and verry roomy etc. i would throw it in a class with say a cadilac cts. lol now i know the cts is a much nicer car but it would be a better range than to class it with a gto or somthing along thoes lines. thats like putting a blaster and a banshee in the same class. but all in all its a great car with alot or power and its actually pretty fast stock. none of my import buddies have beat me hahah. and as for the f350. not a big ford guy. plus my gpa worked for GM for 30 years so it would kinda be like a slap in the face to him if i bought anythign but a chevy. plus the discount i get on new trucks because he worked their is nice that with the gm loyalty and hit it right with the rebated will be sitting pretty.

LS1Inferno Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 f the gto's!! there garbage got lots of problems with the rear ends! theres nothing wrong with the rear ends of the GTO's i know about 25 people with them and only one or two has broke the rear end and they are NO WHERE NEAR stock. im talking TT 600+RWHP. the only issue is the IRS give some pretty wicked wheel hope when not setup right.

MarineNYC Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 Sound nice with the numbers and all but im sorry man that car is fucking ugly. I know SS is the super sport but there is nothing sexy about that thing. Just my opinion. The thing looks like a freaking buick. Quote
flint Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Posted December 4, 2008 lol well man i guess if everyone liked them then i woudnt have bought it. its kool i actually didnt like it at 1st but i went back 3 times and fell in love with it. the pic that i took does not do the car justice at all. espically the interior. very nice on the inside. but i decided im going to trade her for a full size chevy truck or sell it outright. later guys Quote

MarineNYC Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 I sorry about my above post. I didnt want to offend you. I just dont think its as good looking as it competition. Quote
travis6767 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 i dont know what kind of shop you work at but the gto rear end are not junk the only thing wrong with them is when you dont turn the traction control off in the 6 speeds you will smoke the clutch instead of the tires Quote
