1996 Chevrolet Impala SS | Detroit’s Last Classic Muscle Car

Let's face it: The 1990s were a lousy time for GM cars. Sure, the dark age of CEO Roger Smith was over, but there were still few cars for GM devotees to celebrate. One of those few was the 1994-96 Impala SS. Big and bland, the car makes even the most caffeinated person doze off just by looking at it.
Inside is a different story. The Impala SS was an homage to the big-muscle sport sedans of yore. With its Corvette-derived LT1 V-8, the Impala generated numbers unseen on a full-size American sedan since the early '70s.
How far can it go? In this episode of EF, we look at Ron Miller's 700+ HP monster to see what an Impala SS can truly achieve.
This episode first aired on /Drive+. Now we've made it available for anyone and everyone to view. Hope you enjoy!

I owned a 95 grey green ss,i raised my family in that car then sold it! Then a couple of years later bought a 96 black so and still own it today, its getting a modern ls 6.2 liter pushing 700 hp and will keep it till I die!

[@rblbatb]

serious sleeper. I would totally underestimate this car at the light. respect.

[@miamimagicians]

Well this car cannot really be a sleeper because everybody knows it's a beast

[@2w0nGranTurismo]

@@miamimagicians not to the average person. they would definitely think this car isnt fast just by looking at it

[@TheOhsemix]

chill on the music guys we also want to here the engine

[@ElectricFederal]

+ohse mix We needed A LOT of filler on this one... We had a 5 min. minimum. Otherwise, we would've kept this down to 3 min. max.

[@Hungarianbuttbabyy]

Took the comment right out my hands and onto the screen

[@inkno701]

+ElectricFederal 3 mins of great engine sounds is better then 5 mins of filler

[@thashittv2885]

I need to find this guy. I have the exact car under 25k miles. Screw rims and candy, I want performance.

[@thashittv2885]

[@jonathanpalacio9246]

I want to be that bad ass when I'm his age, haha.

[@ChillWill281]

I was 6 years old when this car came out it was my dream car and I’d vow to get one two days ago I ended up buying one the same exact color I love it !!

[@CesarHuerta-ih7oj]

Nice my dream car is this impala ss not 94 not 95 the 1996. This is my year to get mine.

[@ev4n5eli0n01]

I have such huge respect for these cars, and American cars are on the lower end of my interests. So cool this guy is so far from the typical old dude to rock 700 hp and use it! A true hot rod guy for sure.

[@EWCMILK]

I owned a 95 ss for 10 years now. Definitely a great purchase. A solid quality well built cruiser that only gains more value every year as it gets older.

[@noewood61]

Noting can ever compare with the style and handling of a 94/96 impala ss Truly an amazing machine

[@areohwhyM]

This was really awesome, nice to see features of older guys in the game. It's refreshing different perspective.

[@nikothevirgo]

4:45-4:52 made me chuckle a bit 🤣

[@bmh8674]

goals...I have a '96 SS and it's no slouch from the factory for the time

[@careycarson7629]

I'm old enough to remember when these were brand new on the lot. I know it's a boat, but it's a boat done right.

[@BRAINFxck10]

Boat is an understatement, it’s a land yacht! 😁

[@tommavrakos]

95 and 96 impala ss.nicest cars ever.all around.looks,performance,handling,comfort,roomy

[@Hungarianbuttbabyy]

So is this a an EDM music video or a car video? I didn't hear the engine once...

[@JM-vg6hu]

OMG THIS MAN KNOWS WHATS GOOD THIS MY DREAM CAR IVE HAD A 94 SS AND LOVED IT IV ALWAYS WANTED TO SLAP SOMETHING BIGGER UNDER THE HOOD BUT COULDN'T! NOW THAT I CAN I THINK IM GETTING ME ANOTHER 1 TO HAVE AS A PROJECT/TOY

[@svilla21]

Awesome car! Thumbs up to you sir

[@EASTCOASTIMPERIAL]

Good documentary . Wish it was another 10 minutes longer.

[@pashaATX]

nice music !/really nice. great car of course too !!

[@Ruby-px4ug]

Amazing !!!

[@paradoxsf]

This car is sick. It looks like undercover police car and this dude looks like a badass retired police officer.

[@vaporainwaves]

Thug life.

[@anthonyharris1240]

700+ HP car but don't get to hear any of it...instead get a bunch of spacey "music" which does not suit the car or owner, the lack of engine sounds kinda ruined the feature

[@johnhepburn95]

Bad ass!! Love it!

[@kevsweat]

Dude knows what’s up sick ride

[@tobycoolio]

didn't hear the engine, what's the point.

[@az717able]

Awesome car my favorite SS

[@corvettez06ss]

[@jaypalo]

What a bad ass 💪🏼 Such a clean car

[@Mrmudbone_gaming]

nice music video.

[@miamimagicians]

[@byronp8158]

"They went to front wheel drive, they went to six cylinders", they went to shit!

[@Digitalstar3]

[@MiikeyLawless]

EF where you been in my life?!

[@enrikefranco8725]

[@BLK_WILL_SS]

American Muscle!! Love the SS! Checkout my SS when you can.

[@roxanaamaya8168]

I like ur car nice

[@neal6473]

I love my 1996 black color impala ss car 😊.

[@sew04ss]

Good video. More engine sounds and less music. We can hear music on a seperate video

[@rogeliotorres9551]

Where can I learn more about this car?? lt4 like the motor out of 2014 corvette stingray? so this thing is supercharged and on the bottle?

[@ethelkilledfred]

👍. Cool

[@khaleelrahman6653]

I want to know where he got those stainless steel impala ss chrome plates on the engine? Let me know

[@jo05dk]

When you make a video about a 700hp car, and noone knows how it sounds when the video is over, you know you've fucked up.

[@DJRoastPrince]

He revved it up in the middle of the video...

[@jo05dk]

DJRoast Prince Yeah.. At 1:00 he does a burn out a long way away from the mic, and drowned out by music. Around 3:00 you hear the engine start, again drowned out by music. Not good enough imo.

[@KidBenz23]

Anybody know what type of song or beat this is

[@ethownzbh]

I have a feeling if I saw this car I'd just think its suspension had collapsed and it had an exhaust leak. Uber sleeper, especially in that color.

[@AugustusTitus]

+Ethanmeister The stock suspension sits pretty low as is. Ground clearance is 5".

[@debbieeden1611]

What ET? Guy reminds me of movie con air when guy under the truck says easy for you to say u don't have to take a piss.lol

[@jonfetahaj7104]

the juxtaposition of modern trap/edm influenced music and an old white man is so funny to me

[@janeanderson7122]

he is young at heart, age means nothing. I am 73, female owner of stock ‘96 Impala SS, 28,000 miles on the odometer, and just gorgeous. Husband is not allowed to drive it, since he abused it, and some other stupid things happened, so I wanted the car, and it is all mine.!!!!

[@eugenealfred6150]

🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯

[@ronbickham7710]

[@ElectricFederal]

+93remix Ha. Ron isn't the kind of guy to prefer being in front of the camera. But he lightened up as time went by.

[@93remix]

ElectricFederal thanks 4 responding... but I was actually commenting on the car. it's a "SLEEPER" so I was making an ironic statement that the owner isn't flashy and neither is his car... true SLEEPERS LOL!!

[@Biggs96SS]

I have this exact vehicle now and I put about another 25k into it’s faster now and looks still bone stock

[@RodnRoz]

Nice car I love that supercharger I want one so bad check mine out

[@curtisnelson7765]

I have a 96 impala and 00 impala and personally I like them the same no the 00-05 impala didn't have to power as the 96 but it's still a good impala the 00-05 the 96 has power but not the gas. mileage the 00 impala has so I like I said I like them both

[@michaelallen2501]

Makes car video. Forgets car sounds. As a fellow LTx owner, I'm fuckin embarrassed at the lack of statistics and quality engine noises. Unsubscribing.

[@chriswhisby71]

Cool video the music sucks!!!!!

[@Pantystealer]

Not a fan of the editing
