Ed Cole, Chevrolet's chief engineer in the late 1950s, defined the Impala as a "prestige car within the reach of the average American citizen." At its peak sales volume in 1965, the Impala was the best selling full-size car in the United States.
The main difference between the LT1 in the Impala and the LT1 that was in the Corvette and Camaro was that the Impala engine was fitted with cast-iron cylinder heads instead of aluminum ones, and a camshaft that was designed more for low-end torque than high-end horsepower.
The Impala's SS package in 1961 was truly a performance package, beginning with the high-performance 348 in³ (5.7 L) engines (available with 305, 340, and 350 hp (230, 255 and 260 kW)) or the new 409 in³ (6.7 L), which was available with up to 425 hp.

 Road Test Review: 2006 Chevrolet Impala SS - Road Tests - Car and Driver June 2006
There’s an internal fight going on in the Impala SS, an existential struggle between the car’s performance and family duties that is glaringly apparent with the first turn of the wheel.
The current front-drive Impala SS is not to be confused with the rear-drive body-on-frame beasty that was sold for three years in the mid-’90s.
Part of the reason the Impala SS feels so uncomfortable with the V-8’s power is that it doesn’t benefit from all the chassis tweaks bestowed on the Grand Prix GXP.

Since the Impala SS had power, and handled very well for a car of its lineage, there could have been more side support to hold the driver and passengers in their seats.

Chevrolet sold more Impalas in 2005 than any other domestic nameplate, making it the third best-selling car in the country after the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
