1996 Chevrolet Impala SS Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review

[@USAirsoft]

I watch this video over and over praying that one day I can achieve one of my dreams to own one of these beautiful Impalas.

[@andrehudson5761]

im bout to buy one this a.m thats why im watching all the info vids also one of my many dream cars hope u get one

[@TexKimball]

This is such a simple looking car but somehow it just really hits the mark. It looks unassuming at a first glance, but the more you look at it, the more aggressive and badass it looks. Probably one of my favourite cars to come out of the 90's, and one of my favourites of all time. A true American classic.

L Dwayne well Corvettes have become very over saturated. Personally I don’t like mainstream cars and this has he power of a classic corvette so this is perfect. It all depends on your tastes really

[@georgej7077]

The 96 Caprice remains my favorite patrol vehicle during my 27 year law enforcement career which began in 1992. The Crown Vic and current Explorer/Taurus are good but nothing could touch the last of the Caprices with the LT1.

[@TarekAliFazle]

My fav 90s mainstream muscle car. Thanks for this in depth video.

[@rollercharger]

3rd favorite car of all time. 1st for modern cars. I remember my Dad bought it brand new back in 1995 brand new off the show room floor. Mom used to take us to school in it and Dad used to take us to go burn rubber and speed. Now it just sits in the garage at my grandmas house.

[@chevyboichuck_81]

I have to get a 96 Impala SS. The best one ever made in the 90's.

[@Joeymart3]

These are so nice. It's a shame that most of them I've seen on the streets have weird paint jobs and 13 in wire rims. Smh they are supposed to be muscle cars not low riders

[@Sheridantank]

Or 24 inch rims and weird grape soda paint jobs lol. I've sadly seen many while looking on Craigslist for a SS

[@Sheridantank]

I don't think any car wants to be one either lol. Especially not these! Yea some cars you can put bigger rims (18's-20's) on and still look good, but what some people do just looks ridiculous.

[@Sheridantank]

Perfect example is the caprice I had (which got me into the impalas). It had 24's before I bought it and looked stupid! It's in my scrapbook pictures if you wanna check it out lol. It got rear ended by someone who decided to pull her handbrake sliding down a hill on ice! Took the insurance money and bought a blacked out one and got tboned by a stop sign runner

[@Sheridantank]

Same here, currently driving the lit up neon! Had to go from my big cars to it for gas mileage unfortunately. The two tone caprice is one car I coulda almost cried over losing lol

[@jdrs4214]

You’re probably confusing those Impalas with the Chevy Caprices.

[@loccdoutss8752]

I was lucky when I picked mine up .. only 62k miles on it Mint condition not tampered with just headers straight pipe and exaust .. looks beautifull sounds real mean :)

[@billglueck9705]

Have a 96 DCM. Put a custom exhaust on it for a more aggressive sound. Took out the 3.08s and installed 3.73s! Really wakes the car up and makes it quick. Sent the PCM out for a performance tune. New drilled and slotted rotors and calipers all the way around. Upgraded the headlights because it's my DD. One of the best automobiles I have ever owned. Really fun to drive. Have taken it to Canada three times. Great highway cruiser. Came with an upgraded suspension stock so it's a lot more nimble than you would think.

Yea thats the only i want the 96 is for the floor shifter i can always add an oil pressure gauge . But the 95 with that digital dash is sweet its so different you dont see it anymore, and u get all the other gauges as well. The all u would need to add is an tach and floor shifter . Hard choice 😩😩

[@Sheridantank]

Yes! Ideally a 96 and swap the dashes out probably. I ended getting a 92 caprice instead tho because it's a car I owned a couple years ago and kinda missed lol. I can't help but love those big v8 boats.

[@janeanderson7122]

TossedSaladMan iPreferSyrup What difference did the switch to obd2 make?

[@shtupidmate]

@@janeanderson7122 OBD2 was a regulation forced by the government on a state level (mainly California) so that their cars could all have a "common language" in reporting any problems the sensor detected on the car. Basically it was a little electric thing you plugged in when your check engine light turned on, and it would display codes - you'd then look up the code and find that problem. Also, car security was massively improved in 1996, but I can't remember off the top of my head if the OBD sensors had anything to do with that.
