[QUOTE="Natheo, post: 285453, member: 546962"] the b-body impalas that went from 94-96 had 260 horsepower and 330 ft.lbs. and the factory exaust was extremely restrictive, and the tourqe converter stalled at like 1600 rpm or so, but it could still do high 14's. oh and don't associate 6 cyl with prissy, lest i bring up the gn. i also do not think you guys are giving the sc 3800 enough credit at all. a 70 dollar pulley will give that engine 2o more hp at the wheels, every time. it doesnt take too many modifications to get them over 400 ft lb.s of tourqe, and they retain every bit of their drivability. i have a base impala, 3.4 liter v6, and it is no slouch at all. granted its not terribly fast, but it will pull your weight back plenty. i dont think impalas have ever came without the option of having a v6, even the ss's could. its a sort of collectors novelty today. except whats mentioned above.
