How we verify Chevrolet Impala performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Chevrolet Impala trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Chevrolet Impala performance FAQs
6 questions
The quickest Chevrolet Impala on record is the 1995 Chevrolet Impala Callaway SuperNatural SS Sedan, which runs 0–60 mph in 5.5 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 14.10 seconds at 100.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Chevrolet Impala is the 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS V8 Hardtop Coupe , which takes 12.4 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 19.70 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 25 verified runs, a Chevrolet Impala reaches 60 mph in 7.26 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 15.65 seconds at roughly 92.0 mph.
We have verified test data for 14 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Chevrolet Impala can do, not a single marketing claim.
