Good question. I have the same year and engine impala but have not tried to do a peel out. I don't really expect to be able too. As for being able to do so in the Venture is probably due to the weight of the van vs. the sedan being greater or the distribution of the wt. I don't think the torque and HP rating is any different. The big thing for me is the throttle response from 50 to 70 seems a bit lame and the only answer I have come up with is the trans programming must be set up this way. Have not found anyone able to confirm this however.
