Here it is gang, The Silver Streak !

2008 Impala SS 55550 miles

5.3l V8,4 speed auto, and pretty much every option known to man. In the passenger side pic, the shredded paper floor mat is due to the dog thinking anything made of paper is a treat.

So far I am really happy with it.

I bet it's quick with that v8! How does it compare to the vette? Has the GM build quality improved?

Matt, I can't make that comparison since I don't have a 'vette (yet). Trying really hard to make that my 60th birthday present next year. We'll see what happens.

Very Nice! I've looked at several similar to yours, just not as nice. Good find.

Thanks for all the nice comments, gang. You can't imagine how much I am liking this car and how much fun it is to drive. The 5.3 really responds nicely and has a great exhaust note.
Also, I forgot to mention earlier, it has 4 brand new Kuhmos on it, nice feeling tires.

That 5.3 is a stout engine. The one in my 09 Silverado makes it scoot pretty good, I can imagine that in the Imapla it would really go.

Kumho makes a good tire. Nothing wrong with that!

I bet it's a blast! I am sure it's really buttoned down, too. Tight and responsive.

it looks really nice! Well put together and well cared for.

I think the corvette is the one of the finest vehicle.
according to my experience you can't compare any other vehicle with corvette.
on the other end this one is also looking very nice and not looking 2008 model as well its looking brand new every part like interior and exterior even engine every thing looking brand new.
