Without a doubt - just look at the GTP's: those are low 15 second cars right out of the box and the engine itself(with blower) has been rated at over 140 Mph. Plus the blower is easy to tweak to get more PSI out of it.
However, don't let the factory horsepower rating on the previous RWD Impala SS (Caprice) fool you. Sure it was a heavy car, but the engine modifications for that V8 are endless. You throw in a forged 383 stroker kit and you now have a 6.3L, 450+ HP monster - READY to now be force fed by a supercharger if need be!
Stock for stock though, a new supercharged Impala SS would beat the older RWD V8 Impala SS(Caprice).
