Which Impala SS is faster a 2007 or a 1996?

Answer 1

== == I have a 06 Impala SS stock. My brother has a 96 Impala SS programed and exhaust. Both are black on black beauties. We raced last summer and here is how it went; We started off on his go, he punched it and hooked up pretty good, I had my window down and all I could hear was his flowmaster exhaust. When I saw the smoke rolling out of my front wheel wells I knew I better let off. By this time he was a few car lengths ahead of me, but by the time I hit 100 I was at his rear bumper. We ran out of road on the 1/2 mile or so race and haven't raced since. Oh and I had a passenger in my car. I anticipate that if both cars hook up well, the 96 takes 0-20 mph, and after that it's all history. That's ok though, the 06-09 generation would have been dissapointing if they didn't give it some juice. 94-96 impala's don't have to be faster, they look better!!

No, No, No, you can't just look at the horsepower, the 1996 had more than 25 ft-lbs more torque, and sounds so much better. Besides, I raced one in my '96 and I kicked butt.

The 96 Super Sport of course. Because of the fact that the 96 has an LT1. I don't think so the 96 ss (LT1) had 260 HP, over 500 lbs more wt. and did 0 - 60 in 7secs with a 15.4 quarter mile. The 2007 has less wt., 303 hp and does 0 -60 in 5.6 secs and runs quarter mile in 14.2 secs. the 06-09 impala ss's rape their lt1 siblings. the only thing that the LT1s have over the LS4s is RWD. at 4200lbs and 260HP, it cant beat a 3800lbs 303HP beast. and yes, i am right because i have a stock 08 SS with 150lbs of subs in the trunk, and i still beat a 96 SS with exhaust. so whoever said the first answer, sorry, but you are wrong.
