Positive Review

"Best car i have ever owned"

i have owned this car since it came off the lot in 1994, and today it only has around 40k miles on it.I have taken numerous road trips on this car and never thought twice about it. Car looks brand new, not a mark or scratch on it. Externally it looks completely stock. The inside is where the beauty is. Still has the LT1, but with it comes a Magnaflow exhaust, ECU tuning chip, K&N cold air intake, and a supercharger with upgraded pulley. This car is putting out 550hp at the rear wheel and can pull 4.2 0-60 times. The ultimate sleeper car.

Critical Review

"don't buy this vehcile"

If you have money to throw away this is the car for you. I own a 2003 Impala with the 3.4 v-6 constant pain. The list of parts that have been replaced new intake gaskets, head gaskets, brake pads and rotors, new computer (two), new ignition (3), and countless other defects. Sad thing is a couple of my coworkers have the same impala with the 3.4 v-6 different years and are having the same problems
