Which one do you think would win ? They are both supercharged.

Same drivetrain as the GTP, and the SSEi. Comes down to weight. 150 pound advantage to the GTP.

Impalla SS?!? I saw one on the road (exactly like the pic) about a month agobut I thought it was an aftermarket thing. I thought they didn't make the SS anymore. It should be a fun car.

BTW: Just for name sakes reasoning, I still think it should have at minimum a V8 or better.

I believe they will be doing the same for the 2004 Monte Carlo SS.

The 3800 is finally getting the respect!

That'* funny b/c i was just reading an article how Chevy was making sure SS meant " V8 "..and now they are droppin 3800'*. Kinda sucks now cuz we have more competition. I've never taken a liking to the body still of the new impalas really. The Monte Carlo was iffy at first, but now they are lookin damn good..especially with the L67 I almost think i'd rather have the Monte over a GP cuz there are about 5 trillion GP'* on the road, kinda makes me happy to have an SSEi. I'd like to see the L67 dropped in a future Grand Am GT. That'* major speed and torque...for that body style, damn.

GTP all the way

Hey that Impala sounds like the Bonne is being resurrected in a new form.
The drivetrain, suspension, tires.....

It will all come down to weight. The more features and comforts, the more weight.

I prefer Pontiac over most GM'* anyway. Mainly because of the aggressive styling and Pontiac is really starting to gear its products towards us young folk.

Yah allmachtige you're right...Pontiacs styling is alot more aggressive than any other GM. It'* not your every day standard vehicle that everyone has..cough cough taurus

I was looking seriously at the Impalas before I bought my Bonneville. About two years ago, I got sales literature from GM on the Monte Carlo and Impala. The MC SS at the time really did not have the performace features I was looking for. The Impala was a bit bigger, but didn't have the SS option.

I told myself that I would get an Impala if Chevy brought back the SS option. Since I bought the Bonne, the Impala SS does not compare now. Close, but no cigar. It may be impressive for those looking at Impalas, but once you have owned a Bonneville, you know better.
