^^^ Yep.

For the money you'd have to spend to make a significant improvement, you could also buy a cheap Mustang/F-Body/etc. that would probably still be faster in stock form, and would be far more easily upgradable.

Heck, if you like Impalas, I've seen police cars go for $1000 at auctions. Sure most of them have had a lot of hard miles, but on the other hand you'd have the 3800, heavy-duty drivetrain & cooling system, and not much weight since they don't have any luxury features. It's probably the closest thing to a "raceable" Impala of that vintage.
