09 Impala SS

now i know what you're thinking, why isn't this in the impala section?, well i would put it there but it seems to be pretty much dead.
Anyways i just picked up an 09 impala ss with 85,000 miles on it and i just wanted to hear some peoples opinions on the ls4 and the car itself, now ive never owned a vehicle with a 5.3 in it, and i didn't even plan on buying this. i went to dealership to buy a 2005 grand prix gxp but the salesman threw me the keys to this 09 impala ss. i thought "what the hell i'll take it for a spin" i really liked how the interior looked, and how the car looked more low-key then the GXP. i mean its not everyday you see an impala pulling 14 second quarter miles stock. so i bought the thing and it was 4,000 more then the GXP but... i couldnt resist.
So far, i love the car. theres a couple little things that i don't like, the remote start only seems to work when it feels like it. and i wish the bluetooth phone link thing supported playing music. also i wish it had paddle shifters like the GXP but thats really not a big deal to me, because in my mind paddle shifters arent that special. Anyways heres a picture, I think my 04 GT is a little jealous haha.

Nice car! Newer is always better!
As usual it is always advised that owners of LS4 powered cars to add a transmission cooler as heat is the main cause of causing these transmissions to die. Also remove the trans pan and let the fluid drip out and refill with fresh Dextron VI.
