Ok, I will admit this may sound silly, but it is just for fun. My brother had 2 rentals (one for work and one for use while his Caddy is reaired last week). Anyways the 2 vehicles he had were a 2013 Fusion SE with the 2.0 ecoboost and a 2013 Impala with the 3.6/6 speed auto. I got to drive the Fusion quite a bit and rode a bit in the Impala during a few WOT runs. my thoughs are the cars were extremely close with the Fusion having better low end power, but the Impala was much better on mid and top range. My brother states after taking the Impala on a long trip it is definitely quicker than the Ecoboost. I tried to locate some test info on both, but come up with nothing. All i could locate on the Fusion was AWD tests (this was a FWD) which put it around 6.8 to 60, and could only locate GMs 0-60 estimate on the Impala of 6.6 which i sure is conservative. Thinking both should be around 6.3-6.5 0-60 and around 14.7-14.9 in 1/4 mile, though i think the Impala could surprise. Just for fun, which do you think would win the rental car drags?
