I still can not fathom why you would be up here bragging about your mediocre car. Its nothing. And dont say its for luxury, because thats definetly not a luxury car. Its definetly not a performance car either. I would much rather buy a decent thirdgen and spend maybe 1k on it and be faster than you, plus it would still have a lot more style. Your probably bought is just because it says SS. Have fun with you average car that blends in with everything else.

P.S. You should also try looking at the interior BEFORE you make an assionine opinion like that.

Hoss, I think you just need to accept the fact you came to the wrong place to brag about a car that is totally unrelated to anything on this "THIRDGEN F-BODY" website. Nobody cares! Like I said before, Im very surprised this thread has not been locked. It needs to be. And by the way, put todays tire on a 427 Impala SS, run it, and youll take back that comment about your "honda civic looking" Impala being the fastest ever made.
By the way, you need to change the information in your profile. The new 5.3 is not a 327. It is a 325. Things like this I know...Im a ASE and GM certified driveability tech. To turn your comment around, get out of the 60's!

P.S. I also don't consider Mercedes Benz luxury. They're excellent cars. I preder Caddy's and Lincolns!
For 1965 GM-H decided to grab for itself a slice of this market by supplementing the Bel-Air with a four-door pillarless Impala. Where the sedan was powered by a 4.6 litre, 283-cubic inch V8, the Impala came with a detuned version of the Corvette's 5.3-litre '327'.And while the leather trim that characterised earlier Chevs had disappeared, 1965-69 interiors incorporated elements of glamour that had been absent from earlier, more austere models.

American designers are the LAST thing GM and Ford needs. All their **** is borning and no one is buying it.

As for the 06 Impala its a nice car the LT1 looked more badass. It will make a good police car and NASCAR plastic. Old people will love them also just like crown vics.

I'd have to disagree. They (imports) do stay pretty consistent, but I dont think their designs are growing monotonous. The accord varies its design and has enough classes of accord to keep things interesting. I really like the design on the sports type civic, and the new maxima is a killer car, and the avalon looks pretty smooth too.

Maximas should try and keep up with the omg-sexy-as-hell-grills Audi put out with their '06 models.

LOL, yeah no kiddin. Id take a Benz and day over a stupid Caddy or Lincoln.
FrankA330: You got ripped off, your car is not fast, its not a luxury car, it handles like crap, its nothing to look at, and youre an idiot. If you think 13.9 is anywhere close to fast, be glad you dont live in my area where theres REAL cars running around. Youd get laughed off the street with your attitude. Id rather have something along the lines of a Maxima or something than that wreck you just bought.

Uh, have you ever driven in a Mercedes? If you're going to insist that Mercedes is not luxury, then there is no way in hell you can tell us that Cadillac is luxury. And how can we ever argue size? Cadallic doesn't have one single vehicle type that Mercedes doesn't have. Actually...Does Cadillac have a minivan? Because Mercedes does. Take a look at Mercedes S-class sedans. You'll change your mind in one very fast second.

Mr ASE... if you read ALL the post you would see that I never said its the fastest car on the street! Although much faster than your car when it was new, thats a fact. It IS a fact too that is the fastest Impala ever! It IS fast but how fast.. we no where it stands. If (and its closer to about 13.6) is slow, those mid to late 80's Camaros and T/A's must have been Turtles? I don't think so, I used to own one and had a about a 70% kill percentage, STOCK, at our local race strip. Not all that bad! Your just going a little over board and thats cool. I live in the city where the is more to do than just "work a motor" all day. I have better things to do like work on a Pratt & Whitney or a CFM or Rolls Royce turbine. So Im sure your cars ARE faster than a STOCK SS. And when the last time you drove the new SS. Ever?
P.S. Sounds to me like you like foreign cars better than the GM's you own Whats going on there?

What's all this talk of imports cars? Isn't this a 3rd gen Camaro site? I can't stand Accords and Camry's! They're so boring! I'll take my Grand Prix GT over them anyday I don't care how much I have to fix it! Except, Oh wait mine has over 100K on it and I haven't put a dime into repairs! It blows me away how much extra people are willing to pay to for "better reliability"! American people will bring the end to American Cars not the Car manufacturers! I personally like the SS it has staying power, which is what it needs in the segment it's in! Ok I'll shut up now!

for what it is today, the impala ss is butt slow compared to all new cars on the market. but stock for stock, sure the ss is faster then most stock 3rd gens (TTA anyone?) but money vs power, you lose big time nowadays.

But no one is saying Caddy's aren't great, luxurious cars... Because they certainly are. They just are not par with the best of Mercedes. Sorry.

Im not saying stock for stock dip****. But for no more than what 2 of your car payments would be for that ****box, im beating you with a 305...on motor. Plus, all of my cars...with the exception of the IROC will do nothing but continue to go up in value. Your Impala will not. The rest of the cars in my fleet would KILL you. Im telling ya moron, youre fighting a losing battle. Keep talking, and keep digging that hole. With each reply, youre just making yourself look like a bigger idiot.

I prefer the '60's versions, and the early to mid '90's SS all the way.
