What Impala? (different types out there). Anyway, could stick with domestic and pick up a Firebird Formula (5.7 V8, auto, Ram Air Induction). Everyone knows it looks good (maybe even intimidating) and is kinda fast stock (can obviously be made to go much faster) .

Mustang GT would work, but an E36 BMW 328i (sedan) or 328is (coupe) would beat an Impala. Unless it's an Impala SS that is.

alot of cars can beat an impala, they run like high 15s. What looks good is subjective but heres a few: Late 90s Integra GSR, 2000~ Camaro Z28, 03 SRT4, 2000~ Prelude, 2000~ Grand Prix GTP, 2000~ Celica GTS. These run mid 15s or better (provided they are in good running condition)
