New Impala SS

[Ripsco]

Is there anyway a Ralliart on a stock turbo with full bolt ons hang with a new 2014-2015 Impala SS?

In short, yes. It really depends on what you mean by "full bolt ons". There are stock turbo RAs in the mid 12's to upper 11's. That would easily handle an SS (Not an Impala, btw). I think most people will see low 13s (maybe high 12s) with the TBE BP tunes and an intercooler. That is right in the neighborhood of what most people publish the SS running.

Thanks for the input Drew. I did a friendly pull with a newer SS this afternoon on the highway, not sure if it was a 2014 or 2015. I lost first run but he could not pull away from me. Second run I got the jump on him and I could not pull away but won. When I got home and looked online to see what kind of power they put out and I am seeing numbers like 410HP. How is that possible that I kept up with that much power and even won a pull? Is it the weight to power ratio?

Yes.

I believe the difference is around 500 lbs at curb weight.


Roadandtrack clock that thing at 12.9 quarter mile
Motortrend clock it at 13 flat.
