Why The Impala SS is Overrated (2023)

yesterday's price ain't today's.... but let's be honest here.....

[@leoamaya1818]

Jus sent my PCM to pcmforless, love my 94 SS. 109,000 miles with many mods & I jus never thought my car would get so much attention. I have my days where I jus dip on every car trying to either talk to me or have my car in a music video. Regardless The Lt-1 iron block & iron heads speak for themselves …. They last. I’m never selling her. Especially when Iv been a technician for 23 years. I like how you blacked out the chrome trim, I actually did the same thing in 2018 with 3m flat black heat shrink tape. Oh & the whole opti thing that people hate on. I’m still rockin a vented one since 2011 & never had an issue. I have an A.C Delco waiting as a back up. Always a pleasure watching your videos. Rock on 💯🇺🇸

I appreciate your support 😎💯

Nice video. I have a 96 ss (floor shifter) with an LS3, a 4:11 rear, torque converter, a shift kit.... and lots of other mods. I'm pulling 12.7 on a 1/4 mile.

[@nikothevirgo]

That's wassup man 🔥 6.2 is badass looking to grab one or a 6.0 in the next few weeks.

[@Freshrob1000]

21 years in with my 96 with an 6.0 with an lot of mods .

[@aftermathwhite4955]

Bro I've own 2 of them, I bought a 95 in 95 and it was lazy, sold it than I bought a 96 in 2000, but the car was only 24000 brand new ! U can't even get a pickup truck for that price, I still own my 96 and it not for sell, could have sold it a thousand times...

[@thacutoff6226]

Receiving a 96’ Roadmaster limited from my uncle this week, always loved the car it’s so similar to a ss. I think I am planning impala ss wheels, maybe some small bolt on modifications, just wanna cruise kids around haven’t had a big car since my p71

[@jebidiahcarlyon3543]

I bought a maroon 96 around 2016. I fell in love with the stock Buick wheels - alloys. You can get the transmission (4l60e) rebuilt with hardened components for fairly cheap, if you find a good transmission shop. The stock lt1 is strong enough to shred the 3-4 clutch on the highway - if its running right. He's not lying, the trans is seriously the weakest link.

[@TheYellaboy72206]

these are the most sought after b bodies for young and old folks, big and spacious, easy to mod, I have a 96 impala now, started with a 91 caprice then a 95 caprice and never really had problems with either only minor stuff....the attention u get in these cars is crazy

[@Slammer661]

I just got this car where should I start, I’m getting an error code p0336, you think it’s an optispark or a vacuum problem?

[@nikothevirgo]

Could be both in one, the opti has a vacuum system.

[@tkong35]

I got a 94 ss I love it b bodies forever

[@JavierRodriguez-db2vh]

When I bought my impala I knew I was gonna go through the whole car. Fully built engine, transmission, upgraded fuel system. Suspension. 😂I’m married to my impala now. She ain’t going nowhere.

[@housechillin8386]

got mines back in 2006 for 8700 still got it n luv it

[@tituscampbell1628]

Growing up this was the car to have true its not the fastest but its the styling that sets it apart from the rest its not everyones cup of tea and in that sense dont buy one no one is gonna feel bad or be swayed the ppl who love em LOVE EM! but respect your opinion

[@GA08GT478]

How is the car scene in Virginia Beach? I haven’t been back home in years.

[@nikothevirgo]

Not that great but not terrible either lol. Hampton/Newport News/ Williamsburg seems to have a bigger scene in my opinion. Guaranteed to get called out to race if you ride around at night lmao. Norfolk too. Mostly Mopar & Imports though believe it or not I see more LS Holdens than I see older GM hot rods around here lol

[@nikothevirgo]

A bunch of LS swapped Imports too

[@GA08GT478]

@@nikothevirgo I’m looking into moving back eventually. I appreciate the heads up.

@nikothevirgo thanks boss!

[@muko2002]

Sheeesh. A friend of mine has the same 94 SS purple. Really spacious and comfy seats for sure but definitely a bunch of problems with his .

[@tkong35]

What paint did u use for the bowtie emblem?

[@nikothevirgo]

IIRC it was called "Flirty Red"

[@deeplycon638]

​@@nikothevirgo not the color the paint, wrap because I'm thinking about doing it too

[@nikothevirgo]

@@deeplycon638 it was some spray can stuff from home depot brand is called "bear" or something like that. I repainted the whole grill with that brand of spray and it's been holding up very well just have to prep it good

[@Slurm_Daddy92]

Enjoyed the video. Fuck the haters! I think the Impala SS is a glorified roadmaster but people like what they like. 💯

[@rockobukkako813]

I'm happy with my 1200 dollar 95 caprice station wagon as much as I want an impala ss I'm not paying ss prices

[@djsan408]

I own a 1995 impala ss DGGM and a 1991 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser wagon and I enjoy driving my wagon more. Plus I get more thumbs up in my wagon then my impala ss because people gravitate more towards the old American family wagon with reverse rear third row seats😂

[@louphi34]

Just put a ls in it and be done

[@brandonfoltiny3943]

Just picked up a 93 caprice and I agree with you on everything you are saying

[@LesabreSuper]

5:01 this is my biggest gripe with this car. People ask so much more for the impala than the caprice or roadmaster that it makes the impala feel like an overpriced attention whore. Idgaf if it's a 'real impala ss', the other cars are nearly identical mechanically anyway. It's like you're paying extra thousands for the name and status

[@nikothevirgo]

I call it "Clout Tax" lol

[@isrealbrown1]

I wish the lug pattern was 5x5

[@nikothevirgo]

My 95 is I'm not sure bout other years.

[@WatchingEverythang]

5x5-5x127 for all B-Bodys...
