I hate ppl who buy impalas, especially the white colored ones that make me jump off my ass whenever I see them cuz I think they are cops.

I am not at all a fan of that bodystyle. I have always thought it to be one of the ugliest cars on the road. I do like what they've done with the motor though.

You mean Capri Classic's - you can tell an Impala vs a Caprice from 10,000 yards..

- at least a hot rod fan can..

Well - again if you were a hotrod fan, you would have done like the rest of us and blocked the fact that a V6 front wheel drive carries the Impala name and even exists from your mind - and the 1996 Impala all came with the LT1 Corvette motor - that's what made the revival of the Impala name plate acceptable in 1996.

The "new" shape is like the Malibu, a large piece of crap..

I think a 64SS is in order hehe Bigblock QUADcam

If I read the article in hotrod correctly they got the motor from a company making race engines for off shore boats. I would like to see someone incorporate some other tech into it too. I realize that a variable timing quadcam big block would be ultra expensive and very exotic but we can still dream I guess. The guys wife sounds like a pip too

Roger intends to drive his new top to Impala Club meets, but his wife has warned him, "If you don’t take this thing to the dragstrip, the boys and I will!"

mine has to have the two antennas on the rear though. I think they look stupid with only the one. Which isn't to say i couldn't just add the second one
