LS4 Performance - possibly getting rid of the ss

Hi guys, iam thinking of selling my 06 impala ss. I love the car to death but i read the transmission thread the other day and it scared the shit out of me. My car has 88000 miles and she still runs like a champ, i would hate to have to pay for a new tranny though. I put it for 13000 on craigslist yesterday and already have 2 interested buyers, if i do sell it i would like your guys input on a good replacement.

On the original trans?

Ya it is actually

Is it not covered under warranty anymore?

No its not i looked at an aftermarket warrenty but even those are a little pricey

go for it if you have buyers!!

Iam looking at a gto or charger rt as a possible replacement

Either pay a bit more than the extended warranty and get some TEP tranny upgrades, or go for the GTO!

Buy a 5th Generation Camaro SS.

I really like the idea of a gto I know this is an ls4 forum bur does anyone know any problems with gto or is it a safer bet than the ss

I test drove a LS2 GTO with a 6 speed.... fun car!! :)

The interior is not the greatest... well like most gm vehicles.

It looks like im going to sell my impala ss and get an 04 gto. I have read many conzumer reviews and it seems to be pretty reliable and offer better performance than our vehicles

Good choice! More horsepower and a much nicer car.

Hey now .. you don't have to take such low blows at the SS imp.. it ain't it's fault GM half a$$ed its production.. :( that's where after market everything helps lol.. I personally would like to step up in a few years though myself.. either a G8.. or maybe a TA.. one day.

If someone will give you anything close to $13k for a 2006 with 88k miles, TAKE IT.

We paid that much for our 2006 three years ago with 30k miles, and if you look Craigslist/eBay, you'll see that most sell in the $9000-$10,000 range with those miles.

yeah I bought our 06 GXP with 38k for $14k in 2009
