LT1 impalla SS wnats to run me....
ok how well do the 97 LT1 impalla SS's run? he engine looks like its bone stock, not even a K&N in it...sounds like hes got exhaust...at least new mufflers...and its got over 100,000 miles on it. they run what..15.8's stock, and he claims to run that at the track. my best time at the track was a 15.6 with 2.4 60' and has been modded since then.. but i havent seen this impalla for a month or so and dont know whats been done to it...how well do they respond to mods...like a catback? its gonna be a race on the street for little cash, i jsut want to shut these guys up... think i will take him?

Mark,
There aren't any new Impala SS's yet. So far only the LS, and I think the poster meant the last year for the Impala B-body which ran from 94-96 and had a slightly de-tuned LT1. Just an FYI.
:hail: Impy SS
Fattie92: the last year was most def. 1996

They were made 94-96 and they all came with auto/LT1 drivetrains. The exhaust used restrictive resonators and the LT1 had a "peanut" cam compared to the Vette and F-Body.
They usually run mid 15's stock, they're just too heavy.

I sent this page of posts to my Impala buddy to get a rise out of him. Apparently it did! Here's his reply:
You guys and you're F-bodies are all retarded! If an Impala digest was filled with such remarks we shut it down! My friend showed me this horrible lack of GM knowledge banter you guys call a webpost and you don't even realize what your GM mark cars have in them. The 91-96 B-body GM cars came with the LT1 motor, the 94-96 Impala SS came with a the same LT1 as the camaros did except the camaros had aluminum heads. I respect those F-Bodies, and you TPI guys can make your cars pretty fast, TPIterror runs a 14.0, but I know plenty of 4000lb Impalas that run mid 13's all day with totally bolt on parts. Nothing internal, and no bottles or blowers. So for you're race, fattie92 (btw beautiful car if its a Formula)...this is gonna be tight.
If he has a stock intake and simply exhaust, well then he's easily a 14.9-15.0 car. Stock the cars run 15.5-15.3 but in this weather, if he hooks, you're toast! And I would assume if this guy has cash on the line, then he's gonna smoke the hides and then he'll hook. I'd like to see that race. I think he's got ya.
I'll run you myself! I love beating out lighter sportscars anytime of day in a drag race! I pissed on a 89 IROC the other night! I let him get ahead and then chirped the tires hitting second just as I passed him so he'd remember me...a little memento! You guys with TPI cars better hop them up. TPI terror has done every possible bolt on without doing the cam and heads and you see where he stands. My best ET is a 14.2, usually 14.7-8 at Englishtown and I have the timeslip, ofcourse! If you uncork the LT1, its a scary machine, whether in an Impala or a Camaro, so beware. Oh and fellas, typos and mistakes aside...get your GM production info straight and then we'll talk racing! Otherwise go by a Mustang!

chill out dude!
Hey Yembada,
You need to relax dude. There are literally hundreds of very knowledgable people who frequent this board, and many of them are quite well informed regarding all GM offerings. I for one have loved and desired the 94-96 Impala's since I saw the original Jon Moss prototype. In fact I couldn't think of a better daily driver than a gray-green metallic '96 SS. Someday I might even be able to own one. I also respect the fact that you are running 14s with yours, just ease up a bit and don't rush to judgement concerning the people who post here. Its cool to educate people not flame them.

TPIterror runs a 14.0
statements like the one quoted above show youre not as knowledgeable about GM engines as you think

Actually, 14.0 is fast.. even for a 350 TPI F-body with just boltons, considering they run 14.5 or so stock. Mine of course is a 305 5spd...and I don't actually have every bolt-on that exists. Plus that was on street tires.
I've rarely seen any TPI cars without aftermaket heads, cam, or intake that can run mid 13's. So in the process of defending your argument, please don't go ****ting on my times.

ha haaaaaaaa! I got a username! And sorry for the attitude fellas, its just that Impala's are heavy and sometimes F-body guys don't give respect cause the 93 and up F-cars are faster. That's debatable with TPI cars, I know, but I mean they're the same powerplant in a car that's 1000lbs lighter. So yes "we", B-body owners, have to work harder and people, such as GM High Tech, don't bother with Impala's cause they're not as much of a natural perfromer as an F-body. Yet they run huge articles on Grand Prix's??? Slow!
Also sorry for the typos and the misuse of "you're", that is annoying, but its the heat of the moment that causes such mistakes.
Also TPIterror's car smokes like a B__ch! lol Kidding, its a fast car for a 305! I keep him on his toes but his slips are better than mine, so I need 3:73's.
So race him, fattie92, and yeah sorry thought you had a 92 Formula. And I was gonna say Nitrous motor, exactly! With a balanced crank motor and obvious bottom end work, put some juice on that thing, get a posi, and pray the BW T5 doesn't come through the console when the mount breaks! lol Typical, I'm a former owner.
So I'll be lookin for Impala bashing all ova this F-body joint!

Understood. When I said TPI cars, I was primarily speaking of 3rd gen F-bodies. I'm sure with the weight advantage the vettes have, they can run a few tenths quicker.

<---13.89@99 on a L98 without the valve covers even being lifted when it was in the GTA so :nono: :sillylol: j/k
The impala's are heavy but it is NOT hard to get those whales moving...just takes a little work, starting with the exhaust, gotta get those POS resonators out of there...get a good catback,a nice set of headers and a LT4 hotcam kit, BAM you're running low 13's with ease...not to shabby
oh and if u must talk ****, i'll run you with 6 cylinders
BTW I'm just bustin ***** so don't take my word seriously, Impala and Caprice guys are cool in my book

The 91-96 B-body GM cars came with the LT1 motor, the 94-96 Impala SS came with a the same LT1 as the camaros did except the camaros had aluminum heads.
The cam in the Impala was significantly smaller than the one in the Vette/F-body.
You need to get some facts straight man.

In order for this 17 year G.M. auto tech and 3rdgen owner to care anything about what and when any car had anything in it I'd probley want to own one. When I look at it I know what it is and I know I can fix it.
$'s spent = Horsepower and E.T.'s We have 2 - $20,000 Sprint car engines setting in our shop right now with about 6-700 hp at the crank. Even though I've thought about a weekend in my firebird with a hilborn injected monster motor. I will never happen...

I ran a 15.5 w/ 2.4 60-ft. was my 1st run ever down the 1/4If you can pull off at least a 2.2 60-ft, and add in your new mods it should be a good race.

The impala ss' are no joke. A good customer of mine has a 95 caprice police package and with a minimum amount of bolt on's and a set of 3.73's he is skimming 13's. The n2o is on the way which should put him way into the 13's if not the high 12's.

... like i isad, i ran a 15.6 with 2.4-2.6 60'times... and since then i have upgraded my ignitoin, rebuilt aqnd tuned my carb, richend up secondaries (had a bog around 4500 rpms..), open element, timing, computer and chip....cant think of what else.....but im sure there is more..... ohh carb spacer ...i had to gain a few tenths with all that!?!?!?!

hey, its the post ***** here....
Fattie92, yeah you're correct with your numbers and the only difference from a 94-95-96 is cosmetic, except for the 96 being OBD2 and console shift, but otherwise, the rest is cosmetic. Now there are a few more differences between the Impalas and cop cars such as oil coolers, hoses, brake cooling, and some more.
Tell the guy to keep his money and just to run for fun. The whole money street race thing does exist, but I hit Hunts Point in the bronx on the weekends and there its just line up, run, and hope the cops don't come. But I know the tension is there cause the race is close. Also if he has gears and a converter, thats what really launches these cars and takes care of the weight. So he might really be faster.
Oh and heat of the moment correction....93-96 cop cars had the LT1. whoops. I was stuck on body stlye in the head.

Oh my gosh we can beat it to death here if you want. Yes you could special order a Caprice LTZ with the LT1 motor but they came with a regular water pump and pulley driven fan. Alot of my B-body club guys have that with Caprices.
Mainly LT1's were found in the 9C1 Caprice cars and there were some differences also, but who cares. And also do you know the difference between the cams from the F-body to the Bbody LT1's? I'm asking cause I don't know. Was is a totally different grind or a slightly larger lift all over? I'd like to do the GM Perf Parts 845 hotcam, as most Impala guys say that its perfect for the big car and the, at times, finicky PCM.
Fattie 92, launch that thing mean and run it hard! Also run on empty to lighten the load!
