Hey boneheads!
I'm finally settling in the new house (which is why I haven't been around) and bought a new DD; a black 2006 Impala SS.
Being an old-ish dude, I was reluctant of the idea of anything FWD that was called SS, but I have to admit, it's pretty freakin' cool!
It sports an LS4 rated at 303 hp and about 350 ft/lb. It torque-steers like crazy when you mash on it (I almost put it into the median pulling out of the dealership on 22), but if you keep both hands on the wheel, it will really boogie! Also, the fact that it is LOADED with leather, heated seats XM, etc etc, doesn't suck either.
It is a bit ordinary-looking, but that is what us old guys used to call "sleeper" and besides, my wife digs the cop car vibe (she wants to put on steelies and tints).
I will post pics soon, but to give you an idea, it looks exactly like this:
I might go retro and replace all the emblems with the old style flags and vees off the early 60s Impalas. What do you guys think?
