    The Impala SS was not a luxury vehicle, it was meant to emulate the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's in a more modern/practical way without sacrificing any of the brute muscle car performance.

      @fleetwooddelegance8288 4 роки тому

      I would say the factory white/gray
      one is the rarest out of all the other colors of green, burgundy, and black from 94'-96' model years!

    @mr.butterworth 9 років тому +21

    I never was too much of a fan of the Grey Green Metallic in the past, but I have to say, it does have a ghostly vibe about it. And it's a pretty unique shade compared to what comes from the factory today. I'd be happy with it.

    Great video... I was 16 in 1996 and I remember back then It was sometime in the fall of 1996 octoberish in Massachusetts on Cape Cod. It was about night-time and a close friend had called me up and pulled up in one of these things.SO...he opened the back trunk and saw two moderately sized Nitrous Oxide tanks.We hit the highway down route 6 and literally blew threw 2nd-3rd and 4rth gear in a few seconds.(Stock- Not a muscle car feel ),BUT With a 5Speed & Nitrous A ROCKETSHIP!

    That is a very powerful car!!! Crown Vic police squat cars will not catch this one during a chase. I'm not a big fan of Chevy or GM cars, but I have no choice but to give this particular car props. It's beautiful and sleek!!! It's just too bad Impalas aren't made like this anymore!!!!

  • @StormAutoAdventures

    I turned 16 in 1995 too lol. That's when I got my permit & then my Jr license about a month later. I already had my first car before I got my permit, so as soon as I got my Jr license I was driving on my own. I was one of the oldest in my class too, so I was the only Sophomore who had a license & was driving his own car to school lol. Good memories.
    Anyway, nice SS!! I always liked these cars.

    I am original owner of a 1996 Impa ss. I am female, grew up with 60’s muscle cars, I saw this car and immediately bought it when console shifter was added. I am now age 72, still hot-Rodding , a little. I do not want to hurt my baby.. I did replace the driver side door mirror, since I broke mine. I got a new after market one and of course the original black shade, #5585, matched perfectly, as the car is a garage dweller. She has 27, 700 miles on her now. I drive her around residential areas, and a bit on the faster speed parkway near me, juts to keep things in working order. My husband bought it,but he is banned from it as a driver-too rough on it. I would not say that this car was a gift of love,but a mistaken statement was the real reason. My husband said he would buy one if they made it with a console shifter, so in 1996 the shifter was added, so he had to buy it!!!! I am still in love with mine, everyone wants to buy it, sorry, no sale!!

  • @aiPriori
    @aiPriori 12 років тому +1

    Quit being a snob; yes the E39 M5 is a great performance sedan (used to drive a E46 M3, LOVED it.) But with anything, its different strokes for different folks. If you're a TRUE car enthusiast, you wouldn't be knocking the Impala SS unless you've got some self-esteem issues lmao. Both are great cars; I'd consider myself a BMW enthusiast (family owns 4 at the moment, but went through at least 10 in the last 10 years), and we're really looking into buying the 96 Impala. Classic and elegant.

    • @billglueck9705
      @billglueck9705 6 років тому

      Agree. Have owned two E36 Ms which I loved and were my dailys. Race cars from the factory. But the Impala SS is a perfomance sedan of the American muscle variety and as a daily it actually makes me smile more than the M3. Install 3.73s, a custom exhaust, performance tune, cold air intake and brake proportioning valve and you have a hell of a 4300 pound performance sedan that is an amazing highway cruiser. Mine has been to Canada twice, upstate New York and on other long trips and it's a joy to drive around town and long distances.

  • @iloverush123
    @iloverush123 10 років тому +9

    My 94 9C1 keeps up with a 08 Civic Si in the twisties, it's just a bit hard to manage with all that weight and torque. Is it a M3? No. Can it corner? Yes. Everyone that says it can't is making a broad stereotype of murca and/or has never driven one. Yeah, it's a little low on power. A $50 mail order tune can have it sitting with the Camaro/Corvette power levels, and besides that, the LT1 engine has the ability to make 350+ in stock configuration, with levels of 450+ achievable. Any real car guy would realize this drivetrain/suspension package has the aftermarket support comparable to the Mustang and the M3. I don't really care if you hate it, but at least drive it before you call it a pile of horse shit.

    • @billglueck9705
      @billglueck9705 6 років тому +1

      Agree. I have owned two E36 BMW M3s and I do own a heavily performance modded 06 Mustang GT. All great cars. I own a 96 Impala SS DCM as my daily driver and somehow I enjoy driving it more than the others. It brakes far better than my Mustang and nearly as well as an E36 M3 and that is saying something for a car as big as the Impala. Acceleration and reliability are great. It handles much better than you would think but John Moss upgraded the springs, sway bars, suspension and wheels and he nailed it. I swapped out the 3.08 gears for 3.73s , added a custom exhaust and a race tune for my PCM. Love the looks, ride, performance and reliability of my 96 SS and will drive it until the wheels fall off!

    @RoundenBrown the third brake light only comes on when you press the brake, the car was of course in park when he started it so therefore he was not pressing on the brake and that's why you did not see it come on.

    @Kibblesforme123 Don't underestimate the power of that car my friend. I saw a video of police in Ford Crown Vic squat cars chasing a similar Impala SS. The police, nor the helicopter were able to catch up to the Impala, putting the police force and Ford in utter shame. You might just have a different opinion once you see that police chase. Look up "Impala SS police chase" on UA-cam. That car is a Beast.

      The same LT1 in the Camaro Z28 of that year was only rated at 275 HP. It was bumped up to 285 HP for the final year of the LT1 in 1997. The highest the LT1 was rated at was 300 HP / 330 LBFT in the C4 Corvette. Torque is where it's at with these LT1 motors. This baby has 330 LBFT @ only 3200 rpm to go along with that 260 HP. If you like torque lol, this is the car to have. 260 HP was pretty good back in the 90's. Even today it's not that bad considering all the economy cars being produced these days. This Impala SS still had 20 more HP than a supercharged Grand Prix GTP.

    that car is cherry. My dad would chew you out for driving it in the rain. The only thing i disliked about the 94 95 96 impala was it didn't follow the chrome standards like the 64. It should have come with more chrome than the caprice. My family own's 3 1994 caprices two 93's one being an LS sedan and one being a woody wagon, and i personally have an 92 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser.

    @magooeystyla it only looks cheap when its not real. i went to a local junk yard and there were 3 1964 impala's, from a distance they all looked 100 intacked besides usual rust. when i closer, the only thing that was actually good on thrn was the chrome. looked brand new.

    @235chuck THANK YOU, somebody finally said it. It is absolutely RIDICULIOUS to drive a collectors item like this with 5000 miles in the rain and I also might add lock themselves in the trunk.

    I;m 23 years old and went to Texas last year for a vacation and saw a handful of Impala SS's...all painted either candy purple, red or pink with those stupid giant rims. A "Donk" s the correct term. They must have "Donked" there head when they were a kid to ruin such a beautiful piece of American muscle
