I don’t have a W-body SS, and I for sure doesn’t think it is one of the top performing car, I also don’t think the b-body is a top performing car with a close to 15 second QTR out of a V8. Looking at just time posted by C&R and Edmonds it 04 SS is faster then the 96 stock for stock... There where article after article about how the new SS didn’t deserve the badgering because it was FWD and its V6 but at the same time was faster then the B-body.
You don’t have to believe me, you won one race vs. a 04 SS, does that mean all 96s are faster in the QTR then the 04's, surly not. You where the better driver that day, nothing more, nothing less
And just to state the numbers... the 06 Impala SS is rated at 14.3 in the QTR stock, The 04 SS is at 14.7... i have yet to find articals/test pages of the 96 running better then 14.8 stock, most of the listed times are close to mid 15's... if you have some please post them
