FWIW: the 3.8 ltr v6 has been in production at GM since the early 60's in one way, shape or form. Good engines and really tough. Used in everything across the GM product line.

At some point in the lifecycle, the 3.8 made horsepower figures in the low 100's. Currently a non supercharged 3.8 liter motor puts out 205-210 hp.

Also, remember that this is a BUICK engine, not a chevy engine. Remind everyone, so any impaila owners do not get too cocky about thier cars.

Buick engine? No such thing, gm specific engines died a long time ago. Only GENERAL MOTORS engines now my friend.

I would have a lot more respect for this "new" SS if they had figured out a way to make it RWD like the '96 SS. Or at least changed the looks from all the other Impala "Rental Specials". A lady next door to my work has a loaded Impala LS from a couple years back and it looks exactly the same as the new SS 
.
Still, the 3800 is a great engine - has made the 10 Best Engines In The World list even. I've had a Bonnie SSE and a LeSabre T-Type both with the 3800 and they are smooth, torquey and bulletproof. I have a friend who got over 300k on his before giving it away - and it STILL runs

wait a min. What year Impala are we talking about? First of all, Impalas never came S/C'd from the factory. Second, the last year Impala SS was made was 1996. It had a 260-hp 5.7L V8 motor. You may stand a chance only if you are heavily modded 6spd, otherwise its a murdah. If you are coming against a latest bodystyle Impala, even a 3.0 auto Max would take that: 200 hp 3.8 V6.
