That's a hot 'gator. I usually hate big rims, but those wheels are tasty.

hate to say it, but 00~04 impalas (or whatever year gen they are) are complete garbage.

my dad has one, and i know from expierence the car is a piece of junk.

theres nothing you can do to that car to not make it a piece of junk. congratulations on buying one of the worst cars available today.

You're deciding the fate of an entire generation of cars, based on personal experience, with a SINGLE one of them? Someone's an idiot.

Just because it's not the kind of car you like, no need to bash on anyone. FYI, the 3800 is one of the best motors Chevy has made to date, and is indeed the best V6 they've ever made. The front suspension on those cars has some issues, but it's a heavy FWD car. Suspension issues are to be expected.

I love picking on 3800 series-powered cars in my little old 3.0 Taurus.

Even the GTPs don't like me much... And they're supercharged.

BTW, it's 3.0 YAMAHA powered.

If it is a sho, they have a nice power curve. Fun to drive.

I have to disagree with you on that one. My mom has an 04 Impala LS and I love the car. She hasnt had any problems in it. It has the 3800 engine and is fairly quick for being a huge 4 door sedan.

I might buy the supercharger kit thats on the SS Impalas. Its about $1000 for everything you need to add the Eaton supercharger to a N/A 3800. And since N/A Impalas have higher compression I'll make more HP and TQ than a stock supercharged 3800 from the factory. With and exhaust and intake along with the supercharger that car should make around 280 hp and 300tq. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I like the rims on the Impala. I'm not a big fan of the style of the car, but in my experience they are decent cars.

Regarding the Navigator - 58k new, and now it's worth 30,000 less after 15k miles? Brutal. Nature of depreciation I suppose, but good god.

The way I put cars on stock GTPs, I'm sure I could handle it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

And yeah it's an SHO... Nowhere near stock, but ugly as piss.
