Wow....that **** is bad! My dad runs a Car dealership here where we live. He just got it in yesterday and i was going over there for work and saw it sitting out front. I had to do a testdrive on the downlow I pulled out and one of my dads salesmen was in the car w/ me. He said what are you doing stab it WOW that thing has mad torque. I have always been a fan of the OLd School Impala(96ish) this thing deff. tops that one. From a dead stop to WOT the wheel spin from the FWD sucks but over all very nice car!

Yep, motor is sideways in those things, think how much better it would be if the motor wasnt confused on which way it was going

we took the impala out again today.. also found the TCS button ... turned it off and let out of it when smoke started to fill the cab. Also..has anyone heard what the fuel shut off is on these new cars? We strung it out pretty good and it didn't shut off before we had too...


Very nice car though on the inside. It rides like a caddy (which i don't like for a SS..nice for a Sedan DeVille..not an SS) Glides over bumps.. idk, i just don't care for that. Has pretty bad torque steer (expected) One nice option is the factory installed remote start!

I love those cars! Especially the 96 with the floor shifter. I used to be a porter at a Chevy dealership and drove them all the time. Best part was that they weren't mine
