pretty much no difference between a W body and a N body even with the bigger engine the W weighs way more. Now the Supercharged is way different. It should totally spank you of the line and the whole way down.

Yeah my Impala had the 3800 and it was far from fast. It had a very steady acceleration but I could barely squeal the tires.

Why not look up the 1/4 mile times and there you have it.

Ya I always equate power with how much the tires can spin. 
Buy some cheap tires, you can make any car a "fast car" to impress people with your squealing ability. lol

My brother has a 05 GTP, it is not really that impressive. I am much faster than him. Then again I have done quite a bit of work. It still does not feel much different than a stock alero, the thing is a boat anchor.

Even though "none of those really do much", I like how he mentions a tune-up, low mileage, and seafoam as performance upgrades
"What's all that smoke from your tailpipe?"
"That's the seafoam kicking in."
"Aw shoot, I'm screwed."
