[@fadedfutures]

It'll still happen. I've seen them do it. And you can keep it going, it just requires some pedaling. As long as it doesn't shift, it will burn them till you hit metal.

[@quecent]

I like how he showed of the car first before he stole it

[@xxx039]

this has to be the most powerful front wheel drive car ever made in production! 5.3 v8 FWD! nice

[@rt1110]

I don't care what anyone says, Impalas are sports sedans, lol. GM does the best work

[@furretthefuzzynoodle3896]

R T on sport sedans no way. Impalas aren’t really sport sedans they were originally muscle cars. I love gm but not THAT much

[@ryanralph7494]

They made it fwd. No, i still love the impala. But the V8 should've been rwd. Thats why they always have trans issues

[@lateloop]

i love how you can hear the old-person floor-mounted emergency brake ratcheting into position.

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

The G8 is a sweet car. This Front Drive Impala SS is pretty sweet though. I would take one.

[@RobNttBob]

That burnout wasn't wack man, it was pretty alright.

[@Chowbizful]

dafaaq it's a FWD V8 ???

[@rellharlem]

Chowbizful lolollolooooolllllolololoolllll

[@cemsengul16]

Abomination!!

[@ryanralph7494]

Yep chevy really fucked up the newer impala ss

[@Streetspeed-om5fy]

Wtf was Chevy thinking 🤣

[@tunerimpala5658]

@@ryanralph7494 don’t act like fwd v8 isn’t the ultimate sleeper

[@joemaimaron2701]

I remember seeing this video as a kid 15 years ago now I have an 07

[@dilliot2k]

Cool, now I feel better about considering a cobalt ss. Do you think the malibu LTZ has any merrit, or is it just a good lookin car ?

[@dilliot2k]

I will say that a SS impala can get a stock cobalt on the top in, but I don't think it can beat it on the initial acceleration.

[@ChevyImpalaMan90]

nice Impala. I own a '96 SS and I love it. I'm hoping they decide to give the 09's rear wheel drive.

[@silvercoke]

5.3L/0.016387064 = 323.4258 so a normal 5.3L is 323ci. Sometimes auto manufacturers round up to a certain number. Back in the old days Ford used to make 5.8L engines because 5.7L engines weren't exactly 350ci (they were 347ci, but 350 when rounded). The 5.8L engines translated to 354ci (rounded). A 327ci block is actually 5.35L which they would have rounded to 5.4L. GM's official rating is 325ci/5.325L (325.1ci/5.328 L) for the SS.

[@TheTheconcious1]

If you want a drag racer, this is not the car for you but if you want a nice sports/family sedan then this is the car. I just bought a 08 Impala LS, its only a v-6 but its powerful and will roll.

[@milo814]

trust me, i totally agree with everyone when they say that rwd is better for racing purposes/sporty driving. i just like fwd cause i can drive mine whenever; good or bad weather. also, i usually don't turn corners at 90 mph so the ebrake thing doesn't apply to me lol :) but for someone who is oober into drag racing, than it does...

[@milo814]

if you do have a gto, think about what ur comparing: 6.0L vs 5.3L 400hp vs 303hp 5/6 speed vs 4speed rwd/fwd End Result 4.8sec vs 5.6sec The fact that the impala does only .8 sec slower than a gto isn't bad considering what it's up against...

[@codydakota95]

At one time I thought a FWD V8 was stupid, then I drove and bought a cadillac, and later bought my '08 SS Impala. I prefer it to a RWD any day, its all about preference...

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

@Membrane556 It doesn't really matter where an engine makes it's power, it just matters how much and over how wide of an rpm range. The Nissan Altima 3.5 SE is a low 14 second car and it doesn't even make 300 hp. The V6 powered Accord, Camry, etc are also 14 second cars.

[@RealBron03]

I miss this car

[@DystruktoBoi1]

@xxx039 Grand Prix GXP was FWD and had an LS4 V8, I think it matched the power in these Impalas right up until Pontiac got canned. 5.3L V8 as well.

[@cmacbrown]

the cobalt ss is a good car .. theyre fucking fast. keep up with this car.

[@milo814]

The .77g is for the Cobalt LS; the one i thought u were comparing. If ur talking about the Cobalt SS then yeah. The Impala SS and Cobalt SS have almost identical 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.

[@milo814]

Awesome! lol my friend is getting a gto in a year or two i can't wait to ride in it! i've heard they're really badass!

[@KnievelFats]

@worldofwilfred They only did it so it wouldn't suck in the winter time, they still want the impala to be practical for the regular people, its not a muscle car by any means so it doesnt need rwd.

[@sideburns2009]

They almost the same. The LS4 has an aluminum block and has ls6 heads and a slightly shorter crankshaft because the engine was modded for transversal mount.Maybe the ls4 won't have LIM gasket problems as the vortec 5.3 are prone to have.

[@TILLA2X]

0-60 in 5.3 and a quarter mile in 14.2 with good tires, actually faster than I thought it would be especially since it's so heavy, even faster than the new Maxima, base Charger, base Camaro, and Scion/Subaru FR-S/BRZ.

[@Membrane556]

@idontcare80 Where in the power band the engine makes power is just as important as how much power it makes. An engine that has a lot of low end of torque and a wide power band will generally out perform an engine in a car of the same mass with similar output but with a narrow high rpm power band. These run mid 14's stock not bad for a FWD car with an automatic. It does not take much to get one down to 12s which means be able beat 370Zs.

[@firefoxmoz]

That looks like it's a pain in the ass to work on, then again everything anyone comes out with today looks like a pain in the ass to work on

[@TheCarArchives96]

the 2006-present Chevrolet Impala is assembled in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

[@bigradke17]

yea its nasty expensive to upgrade and shit but well worth it ive put about 7k into mine and i have 502 hp and started with 350 so not to bad

[@dilliot2k]

The camaro I would pay for, aint out yet.

[@darkeyce02]

@turbocountry its doesnt matter, wet or dry its still a burnout. my old reliant k has 90hp and will do it dry. this car would be just fine

[@toxicmatrix1337]

ok its fwd but that means you can drive it in the snow, unlike any rwd sports car. Yet the car can go 0-60 in under 6 seconds. fwd make its a year round car, but you still get to screw with it. its better than buying 2 cars, especially when you live in new england

[@LDPKEV]

Yeahh I Got a Chevy Impala 07 mine is a 3.5 L tough Great Cars !!

[@milo814]

it's funny how people complain about fwd when it's the fastest stock impala ever created...

[@yahanwiwi]

You got a sleeping devil in your Impala. I bet you have fun driving down country roads.

[@alwaysopen7970]

@jwippel Ha Ha - the same holds true for a .44 mag. The only real difference between mags and specials is the length of the empty shells. The mags are app 1-2 mm taller ergo more powder. And kick. .380 is a 9mm in a shorter shell. 10mm is .40.

[@milo814]

i usually don't race people either, i just like having a car that is pretty much faster than most cars out on the road. lol everyone in a while i'll take someone off the line tho :P

[@jvillalobos514]

@aNINJApie for future reference there is 61 cubic inches per liter

[@flattoprulez]

If only Impala's looked like they did back in the day.

[@john200715]

The Impala is keeping the same platform until 2012, the RWD Impala is questionable whether it will happen or not.

[@silvercoke]

@azfiandazfar The 3.4L won't do a good burnout, but if you turn the trac off and punch it, it will squeal the tires a bit. I do it in my 04 with a 3.4L, especially at the Autocross events. You can probably apply a bit of brake, and try to get it to make some smoke, but the 3.4L isn't as powerful as the other engines GM put in the Impalas.

[@jvillalobos514]

@troubleshooterg23 its just got a little bit of torque steer, just got to adjust. Gots good throttle response though

[@alwaysopen7970]

@Toxicmatrix You have explained the reason the model exists. Who would want a FWD v8 for year round seasonal use? All policing agencies throughout the country in any capacity, including federal. Large FWD cars ride nice and a light v8 puts more zip into it. It is the only other car made for that niche - the Ford Crown Vic is the other. Cadillac has made big FWD v8 cars for years.

[@cheezgrated]

Yeah, I don't understand what the BFD about RWD vs. FWD is for a daily driver. You still have to be smart with the gas pedal if you have a powerful engine hooked up to either. Otherwise, you're still hitting that lamp post. The only difference is whether you're caving in the hood or the rear doors.

[@sideburns2009]

I was saying the same thing. I wouldn't want a V8 FWD and this car looks nice but it doesnt have the mean V8 look to it. Thats why I'd prefer a challenger srt8 with a trimec6060and 6.1 hemi. They look very mean.

[@hcaughy]

@rjhoughton1 ...was Oldsmobile...huge boat...good looking car with mega torque steer!

[@josh053]

@worldofwilfred Not to mention fords 3.7 v6 is 305 hp...gm seems to have managed less out of 2 extra liters. Good going GM!

[@bendover1514]

with a front wheel drive car all you have to do is put on the e break which locks the back wheels and you can go mayham on the cars

[@TheCarArchives96]

the engine on the 2006-present Chevrolet Impala Engine 3.5 L LZE V6 3.6 L LFX V6 3.9 L LZ9 or LZG V6 5.3 L LS4 V8

[@john200715]

Haha they aren't that bad to call them a shitty Corvair, plus that wouldn't totally work since Corvairs were coupes. I totally agree with you on the FWD bs. 1996 was the last year of the true SuperSport.

[@dlfranklin]

@sgrunsick I believe it is 325 cubic inches, atleast that's what chevy says. But yeah, used to be the old famed 327 from the 60s and 70s.

[@josephtan1818]

since ford bought volvo cars, their v8 version s80 did place their engine like that, including xc90 suv

[@alwaysopen7970]

@Joseph9536 "E" as in emergency/parking brake? You can't do a burnout with the parking brake on as it basically locks your rear brakes, the ones that are doing the burnout. Most people power brake, which is holding the brakes while holding the gas down. The best burnouts are done using line locks but that's a lot of trouble to go through just to make tire smoke. The real way to do it is to have enough horsepower to turn the tires with the gas pedal only.

[@boredtroll2196]

I have 2016 "old body style" LTZ, v6. I wanna throw some as emblems on mine just for klos

[@bobfromlogistics]

@alwaysopen 5.3L = 323 CI. Just keep in mind that a 5.7 = 350 CI. Thats usually how I manage to do the math.

[@DarkLinkAD]

Sorry, that was a typo, G8GXP is 0-60 in 4.9 1/4 mile in 12.9. Well, the LS4 is actually newer then the LS1 but either way there both LS series. Ofcourse the interior in the G8 or 4 door GTO whatever you want to call it happens to be better quality than the Impala, Impala in comparison to its Rivals isnt behind, Impala in comparison with its own company GM which has recently raised the bar, is behind.

[@jvillalobos514]

@alwaysopen the 5.3L is 323 cubic inches

[@alwaysopen7970]

@tperr63 Look up the numbers listed for a lot of engines over the years and you will see them rounded out to a number that looks more appealing to the consumer.

[@ascalia]

So, for all those people who want to "piss all over the FWD V8", 1) if a PORSCHE uses an "over the drive wheels" engine design, why is this Impala sooo much different? Just because its over the BACK wheels (which, by the way, causes an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS "pendulum" effect if you break the car loose), and 2)Because the weight distribution for the Impala is 62/38 front-to-rear, as opposed to the Porsche's more "50-50" design, doesn't the weight over the front steering-wheels make the car safer?

[@dilliot2k]

LOL to samuel. Nah, I pull it off on dry tarmac. I do want that super sport though. Think that'll be a cooler expereince then the new now malibu ltz? thats the only one you can shift gears "manualy"

[@TheRam010]

Sick ass burnout! How did you get the tires to spin like that?

[@user-bmxjolly]

Jam the parking break before you punch it

[@kIokwerk]

@juneya23 There's a 2011 Caprice going to be available as a police vehicle only.

[@go4itgb]

I bought the 06 SS, purposely for inclement weather in the North West, not every where is a rear wheel drive better. Try one in Wet conditions or Snow, then you will find out if you made the right decisions!

[@greeleykid]

@troubleshooterg23 suspension mods will fix the whole "bad handling" problem

[@kIokwerk]

@raptor750r Baby steps here, the v8 is back, let's hope for RWD next.

[@milo814]

Wait, what? i'm sorry, i don't quite understand everything you said. lol ur right, even if it had the same horsepower, it still wouldn't be as fast because it still has fwd a 4speed and a smaller engine. btw, do u have a gto?

[@Membrane556]

I didn't even know they offered a V8 in these. Bet it's real good for humiliating ricers.

[@josephtan1818]

I heard that ford also made v8 engined taurus too, the car was made in 1996 but also fwd

[@ascalia]

So, then, please enlighten me as to whether or not it is in fact the 50/50 split that makes the difference (which is primarily for handling sake), *or* the fact that the engine can sit WHEREVER so long as you accommodate the weight distribution. As Porsche does.

[@TheRealHatfield]

nice impala.... GM really needs to convert them to RWD and add a 6 speed manual transmission! At least they've upgraded from V6'S to V8's

[@robertt7747]

i was gonna buy this car until i found out they were FWD, gettin a 1996 Imp SS made RIGHT with RWD!

[@platinumsalamander]

i'm from toronto and we get lots of snow and rain and that's why we mostly have FWD cars on the roads. BUT, impala ss should be about FUN, this thing, with FWD, and the soft design of the exterior is ruining impala's name.

[@raptor750r]

the car industry is just so pitiful these days.. and how they actually go through the trouble of cramming a V8 into a FWD chasis like this. Its a disgrace to the impala name. Modern day people have lost appreciation for true American cars.

[@misterjgl]

Nice car

[@sasuke1kun0]

@alwaysopen the ci on the 5.3L engine is 327

[@sl0wm0]

all they have to do is rebadge the discontinued Pontiac G8 platform as an impala and there you go you'd have a perfectly good RWD impala (then rename the G8GT to SS and so on). hopefully they'll change their minds and do that

[@alwaysopen7970]

@lHustonProductionsl You just put the facts here...The 2010 Camaro v6 makes 303 hp. Who really needs a v8 in this day and age of traffic jams?

[@DNALI]

think u could stuff one of them 5.3's in a 3.8l engine bonnet. my 03 ls could use one of them. i was thinkin a northstar v8 but this seems like a much more reliable engine.

[@milo814]

lol trust me i would LOVE them to be rwd again! but i gotta be happy with what i have :)

[@pletcher11]

lol i own an 04 impala, with the 3.4 v6 i think, it can do a burn out except my emergency break needs tightened. it can do it on dry easy

[@JasonK1982]

325. 1/4mi is like 15sec. Depending on tire. And 1996 was final yr of rear wheel drive impala

[@E-SHAP]

you are a god!!!

[@wdkilla]

@Baker090909 Yea they do, the DTS is a v8 fwd

[@slowchevy]

Nice ride! looks like you're from IL too.. Have you heard of the north american impala owner's association..? Google that, and click on the first result that comes up.. Join on up! We've got 2200 members nationwide , and are having alot of meet-ups very frequently for this site all around the country!

[@DailyDriver.]

such a good looking car what mpg u get?

[@darkeyce02]

@turbocountry its easier on the car, i would only do it wet, saves a little bit of tire too, makes more sense

[@gotspeed1212]

you don't need a front tag in every state if he doesn't he should remove it make it cleaner looking :)

[@thirdrayle]

luv that car..mine is black

[@alwaysopen7970]

@alwaysopen Oops...I forgot this is a stupid FWD car and isn't a real car. The answer to your question is yes - how else did the rear wheels stay motionless for a short period of time?

[@jmecrg]

@hardyea Cadilac has done it for years longtime

[@John8785]

@troubleshooterg23 ohh thanks a lot.

[@milo814]

do you have a gto??? (based on ur vids) because of course a gto is faster! considering it's a 4speed, fwd, and weighs like 3800 lbs, 5.6 sec is pretty quick. they're faster than most cars out on the road today.

[@DystruktoBoi1]

@BaDoNkAdOnK16 Cadillac DTS. its a car, luxury sedan.

[@RobNttBob]

My girl's V6 impala has an e-brake. You must have never seen the inside of one of these.

[@SgtSellz102]

that would be a bad ass car if it was rwd

[@89cadillacfleetwood]

i have a1989 cadillac that is fwd and i can do burn outs all day on dry roads, starting to get tired of buying tires

[@milo814]

c/d tested them at 14.2 sec. however i have heard 13.9 sec is attainable.

[@police849]

Plus it also matters about the driver not the car. it can have 400 horses but the better driver will win

[@milo814]

the reason i was asking if you had a gto was because i was under the impression that you were comparing your car to the ss which i feel isn't a fair comparison.
