Camaro LFX vs 12-13 Impala LFX
 

I was suprised by the LFX and the 6spd trans they put in the Impala it seems like a great powertrain for this car.

I haven't been able to find any videos of the 12-13 LFX Impala actually in action. But by the seat of my pants the acceleration feels like it was right there w/ my out going 12 Mustang V6 (manual w/ 2.73's) which I'm happy with.

Impala is 3650lbs, so its about 100lbs lighter than the Camaro
Impala has 22hp less and 16lb/ft less tq.
also not too sure on the gearing of the Impala 6spd auto
AOL autos puts 12 Impala at a 6.3s 0-60 and the 12 Camaro at a 6.0s 0-60...:noidea:

My mother owns a LFX Impala and while its a great car with a great engine there is no way it could compete with a LFX Camaro much less the 2011+ Mustang V6. From driving it I suspect the gearing, trans in general, torque management and general tune is holding it back. Like you said its lighter than a LFX Camaro and if it had a better trans and tune I bet it would be faster but sadly I think they put a trans and tuning with it that was designed for economy and comfort not performance.

yeah there is no doubt that it cant hang w/ the camaro or the mustang 6 bangers in the twisties...
Motor trend tested the new 2014 Impala w/ the same powertrain and got a 6s 0-60 and 14.8 1/4 mile out of it. it weighs in at 3823lbs about 300 more than the 12-13 model.
I'll have to run it at the track to see what this old man car can do.

If you do, keep us updated!

Is the LFX Impala faster than the LS4 Impala (5.3 V8)?
