faceliftedss Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 driving along the other night i get a car driving so close its practically up my ass so i switch lanes because normaly when cars do this you can get behind them and your lights go right into their rearview and blind them. i didn't recognise the car for a little bit but i noticed the ss on the side and figured it out so we hit a light and he descides to hit it on green getting taking off a half second before me but i floored it and i jumped up on him by a quarter panel and it stayed pretty even each of us pulling at different times finnaly at about 95 i was half a truck ahead and we shut it down it was a pretty good race i was impressed even though it wasn't an even start but i guess you have to see it coming.

buggle_96 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I kinda thought he would out run you. Less power but a lot less weight at the same time. These do have the 5.3L aluminum block rated at 303hp right...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 What does a 305 have to do with an Impala SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eamonnschevy Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 What does a 305 have to do with an Impala SS? yea i thought the SS Impalas all had the 350ci?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northtexasSS Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 The new ones have the 5.3, I guess that's a 327 or something like that. I thought it would be faster than our trucks due to weight but I guess that's another case of underestimating our rides. The new Impala SS's are REAL nice though, the 2009 version is supposed to be rwd and even better, based on the Camaro platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSThunder Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 What does a 305 have to do with an Impala SS? maybe he was thinking abou the HP rating but I thought that was like 302 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 pretty sure the hp rating was 303 actually. could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedSwim Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 pretty sure the hp rating was 303 actually. could be wrong though. Nope, you're right. I have one as well as my SSS. 303hp. Pretty damn quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Impala SS's are REAL nice though, the 2009 version is supposed to be rwd and even better, based on the Camaro platform. It's a 325 cubic inch 303 hp setup. In stock form they should hand an SSS it's ass pretty bad unless it's modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixsupersport Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 it's always fun to run other ss's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 if your SS was stock, you would have gotten your ass kicked. Based on your current mods, that is probably how you kept up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faceliftedss Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 yeah i was talking about hp for sure i'm not that stupid lol, i was just impressed i kept up with a 300 and some odd hp car that is at leaste 2000 lbs less in weight. i just thought i remembered seeing 305 hp somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00silverad0 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Ya, those cars will def suprise you. I mean that in more ways than just keeping up with you speed wise.. Theres been about 3 or 4 impala SS's running around by me with undercover cops in them. Just givin a heads up. But hey, if you beat that one, just outrun the cops if they try to pull you over when undercover LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
