I don't think it was the car, necessarily. FWIW, I once went to an autocross school where one of the instructors had brought his Impalla SS...stock suspension mind you. Anyway, the rest of the drivers there were not slouches, with lots of really fast BMWs, Camaros, Mustangs, Hondas and what have you. Then this guy comes up at the end of the day durring the fun runs and gets a time close enough to the fastest time of the day make us all feel a little silly...with six people in the car. Six helmet clad guys piling into the Impalla was funny, but seeing them stumble out after a pretty oversteery ride was hilarious.
I'd love to own an Impalla SS. Anyone else remember the TV add featuring a black SS and the line, "Lord Vader, your car has arived?" Too bad they're holding their value so well. Still, the only thing with the same badass appeal comes with the letters AMG and a price tag of over $70K.
