Least the small v8 is in them now. Wish we had the cars like in other countries. In the middle east they have the Caprice and Lumina with the LS1 in them.

It can be fast, if theres alot of weight on the front 
I cant believe this, *v8's and fwd's* just doesn't mix! 
If it was rwd, GM would have a real seller! What do they see in fwd's anyways??

According to some 1/4 et's from some 05 stangs I've seen, they may give the stang a pretty good run. When the 2 door Monte comes out, they may be even closer to the stangs. Car & driver got the Grand Prix GXP to run a 14.3/98. With a cold air induction, that should be a 13 sec car

^ I was just about to respond to the same thing: CAI will drop your ET from 14.3 to 14.2; 14.1 if the stock intake was really restrictive and the air coming in is actually cooler than the engine bay air, and you were lucky and the conditions were perfect lol.

I was saying the yet to be released Monte with its lighter weight could possibly be a high 13 sec car with a cai. I just worded it wrong in my previous post. Curb weight for a 06 Monte SS is 3511 and the GP GXP is 3600. A CAI might get it real close though.

The Impala and Monte...
No thanks. GM needs to completely redo them IMO.
What I still am waiting for is the Camaro. Post a video of the new Camaro and then I will be yipping and yawing.

just another plain *** car made by GM. and the thing that kills me is that they dont even mention the displacement on demand feature in the commercial. that would make more people check it out i think. drives nice tho, i got to drive one at work about a month ago.
