2004 CHEVROLET IMPALA INDY SS
Andrew Luu
Autoweek
There are subtle signs this Impala SS celebrates Chevy's history with the famed oval speedway. There are IMS logos stitched in the headrests and floormats and a tiny IMS decal on the lower half of the fenders. Then there are the gold bow tie and 17-inch chrome wheels. Other than the two "limited edition" reminders on the dash, it's all regular Impala. However, that doesn't mean Chevy fans won't care.
During my test drive a father-and-son duo hovered around me like vultures following a wounded animal. They dropped behind, ran up front, then slowed down beside me as Dad pointed out the differences to his son. It was an automotive Kodak moment and this went on for more than five minutes.
Admirers aside, the supercharged engine has good get-up-and-go. The handling, not exactly sporty, leans more on the softer end of things, and for my 300-plus-mile drive to the 500 in Indianapolis, that was just fine. The Impala is a comfortable long-distance cruiser and leaps past highway stragglers with ease.
