I really wish I had one, but it ain't easy to find em since there were only like 1500 built. But just the fact that it's a front wheel drive V8, big bodied Impala; when you think of a modern Impala you think of an LT with the v6. Not that interesting. But THIS. The sound, and the acceleration. The long gear ratios. A VERY special car. Badass af.
Thanks for saying that I really like mine. I hear more dissing on it because fwd but I could care less, it"s fast, rare, and the last Impala SS ever made. And you can drive all winter !!
I had one of these for my first car, got it for $2800 used, had a couple quirks at first. Like the back doors not unlocking with the key signals, and you could end get out of the back without having someone open the door for you from the outside(for this reason me and my friends often joked and called the back the rape seats, not very tasteful but we were 16 at the time), that and when you would pump gas the tank was weird and made the pump auto stop a lot. It also had a bad paint job, which was the only thing out of these quirks that I fixed. In that car I had so many first, first dates, first time driving on a road trip, first time changing a flat, a first kiss. Plus tons of other funny memories and near death experiences due to my careless driving, but thankfully as time went on I got better. Got it with around 120k miles on it and got it up around 200k over the 5 years I owned it. But by then end of its journey it was more of a metal death trap than a car. The power steering pump went out, the auto break system died, started having to replace a headlight or rear light about once a month, the ac made these awful clicking noises, the air filter needed replacing, one tire was a bit bent, and the traction control was out as well, so instead of trying to fix it all up, I ended up trading it in just yesterday... I almost wished I could hug it and get a better good bye after all it got me through, maybe just one last cruise would be nice, but oh well. It was also one of the few thing I felt I owned for a while since I saved up to buy it myself, kinda had pride in that as opposed to all the other kids who just got them as gifts. Used it for about 5 years and again I'll say it, I'm gonna really miss that car
Funny you ask! It is in the shop now getting the trans rebuilt. The Impala, Monte Carlo, and Grand Prix with the 5.3 start to have trans issues around 60k to 70k. Mine has 67k on it now and it was still drivable, just have transmission slip once in a while. Told my local Chevy dealer and they said just bring it in and they were going to have the trans rebuilt. Gotta love having a warranty!
Is there any way to remove that speed limiter? I've got a 2006 impala LS and mine too is limited to 107 mph (172 km/h in mine because of the metric system where I live I needed to convert it for you) but I know for a fact that it wanted to go faster. I believe it could.
+Tube Sausage 69 if you want to pass the cruise control speed limit just set your cruise control at the max and keep pushing the accelerate button on your steering wheel. It works but you didn't hear it from me
Yes he can do whatever you want. He is a personal friend and has tuned several of my cars, and always done a great job. He did tune out the DoD. I've always been very happy with his tunes. The biggest thing you will notices is in your shift points, and the over all acceleration. Im sure he will use my tune as a base line for your car. I think you will be very happy and it will be well worth the money. If you are local and wanna chat more message me on here and I can give you my contact info.
Well my 2011 LT is doing just fine so far, shifts before going into the red. Doesn't change the fact that in the video he was still manually shifting into first, second and third.
Ford.Car.Reviews I am obsessed with fords and i can tell you impala are no slouch or a crappy car. I own a 2011 crown vic police interceptor and there is a reason why they keep making impalas because there good cars all around in a price point most people can afford so before making such a claim do some research.
Vegas edward no. There pretty much shit. They have too many significant issues before 100k miles. I had to rebuild the transmission on my ss. Now I'm fighting with the abs and traction control and various other sensors and wiring harnesses.my power steering is getting weird as well. My gf has an lt. That's not too good either.

Yup! They put this 5.3 in the Impala SS, Monte Carlo SS same years, and Grand Prix GXP same years. The Grand Prix was the lightest of the 3 and had the widest front tires from the factory as well. Was a fun car just wish they were rear wheel drive. :(
I am in contact with Klug Performance regarding a tune on my 2006 Grand Prix GXP. I have a K&N CAI and Magnaflow catback exhaust system. Did you notice a decent difference? I would be going to him for the tune, not doing the mail in system. Is it worth the $235. Did he tune out DOD?
Is it almost a guarantee that if you have one of these cars you will have to replace or rebuild the transmission eventually, and is there a better option for a transmission that you can purchase?
Nice, is it tuned to only do that in 2nd? I only ask cuz i know some older automatic GM transmissions if you left it in 1st it was "sport mode". I have an 06 SS w/ K&N & Magnaflow catbacks too. Nice rides and good work on your tune!
One the transmissions on these cars were garbage. Two that being said this car had a build trans when the stock one when out on me after 11,000 miles with normal driving. Three this video the car had a built trans. Finally I got rid of the car 10 years ago.
i have a 2006 Police w/ 3.9L it will hit 90 on on-ramps, ok separation speed at a stop light (nothing like my old '05 STS), but the real fun is from 55 to 125 (limiter).... fast as hell w/ 4 speed around 4500 rpm. My next car will be a Impala SS, having said that, there is no envy.
Very impressive I wasn't expecting that I've smoked my friends 08 before but it's stock, for what little you've done it sounds fantastic and that thing hauls! You don't live around SC do you? I'd love to race you at the orangeburg strip!
I have the LTZ which is the 3.9L. When I first drove the car I was damn impressed with the power and acceleration of these cars. My friends and I can't believe the power these v6s bring, my ltz beat my friends 00 Mustang Cobra in a 1/4 drag...
only 0-60 in 7.5 secs. not really fast. just never drove or been in any fast car? i was like that years ago with my wifes g6, v6, couldnt believe the power. really wasnt that powerful.
Im confused he was holding it in second gear all the way to 100 but wasn't that a shift at 0:28? but if you look at the screen it still says second so what was that shift?
Back in 2004 we had the last year a 2002 Pontiac Trans Am it was a leftover it was in the showroom for its whole life. somebody bought it four over sticker price I took it out for a PDI run " pre-delivery inspection" anyways long story short I got to 95 miles per hour out of second gear it was a 6-speed revlimiter a kicked-in I took it back to the dealership and great disgust good luck to whoever buys one.you need to chip it "reprogram the PCM power control module"
Transmission because they were garbage in these cars. That 5.3 was a great motor but GM definitely did not have the best transmission behind them. Mine was rebuilt at 62k. Knew a few guys who had their's rebuilt almost every 30k miles.
Just_A_Z71 I’m looking for one right now but there getting bought in seconds so I might not have much luck in getting one, but do they make these with manual or just automatic?
I’m here because I just raced one of these this morning. On my way home from work and my F150 5.0 he punched it first from about 30 mph. He was a car like that of me all the way till 80mph when I walked by him. He looked over like what the fuck
knightrider1545 Well yea the 8.1 was a truck engine for the 3/4 and 1 ton pickups, not meant for cars. It had lots of torque for towing if you prefer gas over diesel.
you always here of foreign cars like honda and toyota lasting well over 300,000miles easy im curious what is the highest mileage ever been recorded on original engine in a impala?
1st gear 0-50 2nd 50-109- 3rd 109-can't find out, 4th gear useless. Granted GM designed this car for gas mileage but seriously, so much wrong with this platform. At minimum the SS model should have been RWD with a 6speed manual option. My Impala ( 2007 LT with a 3.9l) shifts 0-45 in 1st, 2nd is 45-93mph and 3rd 93-113mph(tops out). 4th is just OD for gas mileage.
BigBee5tinger yeah I had it rebuilt once by the dealer. Trans tech told me in another 30-50k it might need it again. Was enough to get me to trade the car off after that.
Just_A_Z71 man that’s insane I love the impala ss but the transmission is trash and I hear that’s not the only problems they have when they get over 100k my 3.6 6speed been solid from day one not even a hiccup
Yeah you can find them for sale once in a while, never seen one though. Gotta be pretty rare. But Chevy is coming out with the G8 platform again, this time rebadged as a Chevy SS with the 6.2 LS2 and 400+ hp. Hell yeah!

@@erick5598 do you still have it because my dad's had the ignition problem
@@enzofamily4320 unfortunately it's been gone for a few years now.
I like how you can get just about this much HP in the 3.6 impalas, I guess that's why GM never put the 8.1 in the impala..

Well yea the 8.1 was a truck engine for the 3/4 and 1 ton pickups, not meant for cars. It had lots of torque for towing if you prefer gas over diesel.
adogg619 torque favoribg kotor moe npg.
HP is the same but not the torque
adogg619 better mpg
The newer 3.6 impalas made more hp
I’ve hit 142mph in my LTZ before I let out ran into traffic couldn’t hit the limit. But nice shyt can’t wait to do it in mines
If u got tune why not remove limiter my 06 has no limiter i played cat and mouse wit a widebody cat that top speed is wat matters irl
you always here of foreign cars like honda and toyota lasting well over 300,000miles easy im curious what is the highest mileage ever been recorded on original engine in a impala?
My 2008 lt blew the motor at 150k miles. It was the 3.5. That's like my 10th fm motor I killed. I'm not a fan
Gm motor*
+gmcleod37 you're doing something wrong.........
I saw a taxi impala have 560k miles on clock on the origanl engine, but that was a series 2 3.8 v6 not the ls4
My 04 Indy sc died with 500k on it and I ran a stage 2 kit , very hard for the last 50k miles.
60 mph and 80 mph on the speedometer look almost identical.
1st gear 0-50 2nd 50-109- 3rd 109-can't find out, 4th gear useless. Granted GM designed this car for gas mileage but seriously, so much wrong with this platform. At minimum the SS model should have been RWD with a 6speed manual option. My Impala ( 2007 LT with a 3.9l) shifts 0-45 in 1st, 2nd is 45-93mph and 3rd 93-113mph(tops out). 4th is just OD for gas mileage.
how did you take the speed limiter off
I had a custom tune, which allowed me to remove it.
Did the transmission keep having problems on this car?
BigBee5tinger yeah I had it rebuilt once by the dealer. Trans tech told me in another 30-50k it might need it again. Was enough to get me to trade the car off after that.
Just_A_Z71 man that’s insane I love the impala ss but the transmission is trash and I hear that’s not the only problems they have when they get over 100k my 3.6 6speed been solid from day one not even a hiccup
dam pulls bad ass wy did u set ur shift point at 65 in first like u do in 3rd seems to pull bad ass all the way to 6500 rpms
Yeah you can find them for sale once in a while, never seen one though. Gotta be pretty rare. But Chevy is coming out with the G8 platform again, this time rebadged as a Chevy SS with the 6.2 LS2 and 400+ hp. Hell yeah!
Definetly not stock trans shiftd way to late in the rpms 6500 like wth
I think I can I think I can
Funny at the time I thought the car was quick. Then I owned a ProCharged 5.3 truck and realized how fast it was not lol.
Where can I get a klug performance tune

I have the same exact mileage on my car... Are you my dad?
great reply buddy! lol some ppl should not be behind the wheel if they don't get simple logic.
Yo tengo un impala 2004 y me gusta mucho corre bien
You in Nebraska?
If he's going that fast then why isnt the odometer recording the miles ? Its 54,654 and at the end its 54,655 ? Anyone explain this
He probably just hit 54,654. You should definitely be able to get to 130 in a mile with a sportier engine.
It did go up.
