Sawgunner- how does the Impala compare to the Bonny?
 
Sawgunner- would like to hear your comments on how your new Impala compares the Bonny and how the3.9L engine responds.....

the 3.9L has plenty of power and when it switches between running on 3 to running on 6 you don't even notice it. ride quality is a little rougher in the impy but growing on me. the handling is nothing compared to my FE5 equipped bonnie but has it's good points. definately more body roll. seat comfort is about equal and she will still smoke the tires off all day long thanks to the 3.29 gear ratio.

i will vouch for him, after riding up to dans and back..this thing is a really loaded car, and has a hell of a power curve to it..

dont forget the lovely interior

stereos pretty good too eh ? :D

240ft/lbs tq with 90% available between 1500 and 5500 rpms. It takes a lot of work to make a motor so efficient over such a wide rpm range.

EDIT: I like the 3900s :)

He had asked me what I thought of the 3900 when he saw the car. I told him I had it's sister in a '05 LaCrosse and was impressed. It has only gotten better since then. His has an incredible 90% of it's torque is available from 1500 rpm to 5500 rpm. That's superlative.
