Announcing Another 39 Month Addition to the Family

Subject: Announcing Another 39 Month Addition to the Family
by j3studio on 2016/11/23 20:43:13

... Jeff is a 2017 Impala, being leased because the miles will be low (he'll only be used for A] carting the parents around and B] extreme foul weather). He is the replacement for Frankie, our 2014 Impala (also leased).

For those that care, this is what Chevrolet calls the 2LTZ. 2 means it has the 305 bhp LFX 3.6 liter V6 and LTZ is the highest trim level (now described as Premier in marketing materials). The exterior color is Black and the interior is Jet Black, with the usual "leather-appointed" seat trim. We added the Enhanced Convenience Package, which includes ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, power tilt and telescoping steering column, memory for driver seat, outside mirror and steering column settings, floor mats and trunk mat, auto-dimming inside rear view mirror and outside heated power-adjustable mirrors with turn signal indicators, ground illumination, and driver-side auto-dimming feature. All Premiers included an LTE wireless hot spot (which I'm not sure we'll activate), Android Auto, and Apple Car Play.

Jeff looks a little meaner than Frankie because he has the Midnight Edition Appearance Package, chosen because Ivelis wanted darker wheels. In addition to those wheels, the package adds black bowtie emblems front and rear, a blacked-out grill, a small rear spoiler, and snotty pedal covers. Getting a black Impala of some sort is something Ivelis has always wanted: she's a big fan of the 1958, the 1959-1960, the 1961-1964, 1965-1970, and (of course) the 1994-1996.

In a marker of how far cars have come in twenty years, this front-wheel drive Impala with no sporting pretentions whatsoever would clean the clock of one of those beloved 1990s SS's in almost every measurable way:

BHP   260 bhp @5,000 RPM (1996)   305 bhp @ 6,800 RPM (2017)

Torque   330 ft-lbs (1996)   264 ft-lbs (2017)

Curb weight   4,036 pounds (1996)   3,867 pounds (2017)

Tires   255/50-17 (1996)   245/45-19 (2017)

0-60    6.9 seconds (1996)   6.1 seconds (2017)

1/4 mile   15.2 seconds (1996)   14.6 seconds (2017)

Theoretical top speed   142 mph (1996)   156 mph (2017)
