2007 Chevrolet Impala

The 2007 Chevrolet Impala offers an SS performance-based version providing amazing power, style and fuel economy.

Featuring:

  • 303HP on a 5.3L V-8 Engine

  • Aluminum block core

  • Displacement on Demand

Displacement-on-Demand, aka Active Fuel Management, allows the driver to switch off half of the cylinders in the engine to run with a more fuel-friendly engine for light-load situations such as highway travelling. The EPA has estimated an increase of up to 8% in fuel gas mileage can be had by having such a feature implemented.

The performance tuned 2007 Chevrolet Impala is capable of incredible speed times:

  • 0-60MPH in 5.6 seconds

  • 14.2 seconds quarter-mile at 101mph

  • 110.5” wheel-base
