  • The 90s Chevy Impala SS was a car from a time when the recipe for a performance sedan was a lot simpler. It entailed taking a massive rear-wheel-drive sedan and fitting it with a naturally aspirated V8 and an automatic transmission. The Impala SS was a true 1990s muscle sedan.
    The 5.7-liter engine of this LT1 variant generated 260 horsepower and 330 lb/ft of torque. Low-down torque was a priority when developing the engine for the Impala SS and even at idle, it sounds absolutely fantastic.
    Floor it, and this big, comfy sedan will take you from 0 to 60 mph in 7 seconds flat.
    In its first year, Chevy sold 6,303 vehicles, and every single one of them was black.

    That rear is a masterpiece. I also love that you went back to basics and updated a lot of the body using your own imagination, and not just sticking to one manufacturer for graphical elements, especially when there’s something better suited to the car

    I read an interview with the designer of this generation of Impala, his one regret was that he wasn't able to lower the roofline (GM wouldn't let him due to cost and not wanting to reduce headroom). Glad to see you lowered it, it really improves the proportions of the car.

    I used to see my P.E teacher in middle school going to work on a bike, like 25km one way.
    He was a bit of a hippie so I thought it is not only for health but also for an enviroment.
    ...
    One day he arrived in Chevy Impala like this one in the video, and said that it was his daily.
    I live in Central Europe and american muscle is not a common view here.

    Should do triple taillights in keeping with the practice for the Impala (and Caprice) during the 1960s and early 1970s. Otherwise, I think the tail is excellent.

  • @utubememberable

    This rear rendition complements perfectly your earlier exercise performed on the front. I especially enjoyed the altered headlights of that one, just as the updated taillights here. All done with your regard to protecting the original design. It's interesting the Fleetwood those years was built on a stretched version of the same platform. I've seen your renditions of earlier years of that model but I haven't caught any of your work for the last gen.
    I drive a '96 Fleetwood and certainly look forward to what you would dream up.

  • @nikeiddude123

    It looks great love the redesign, Imo the original wheels looked better and fit with the car's clean design. I think the wheels clash too much with them being a more busy design. The clean five spoke made the car look classy and aggressive without coming off like a boy racer fitted wheels on an impala. Love the redesign still. Cheers

    I had a 1996 Caprice "B4U" with the LT1.Basically the most fully loaded version of the car you can get. A friend of mine found it with 45K miles on it and bought it, then I bought it from him with 91K (he needed an SUV instead, LOL). I drove it up to 187K miles and someone stole it from my driveway while I was out of town (it wasn't running BTW). While although the car was a tank, I can say that in my experience the Ford Panther cars are tougher over the same miles. Over the 96K miles that I put on it I had the following go wrong:
    Front Left ball joint separated (twice)
    Transmission cooler lines busted under pressure (WOT, passing someone) dumping out all the fluid on the road (3x)
    A/C compressor pulley seized
    Fuel pump went bad
    Transmission went bad at 80K
    Front tie rod separated on highway (good thing I was hardly moving)
    Radiator went bad at 75K
    CD player stopped working at 90k (I got one out of a trailblazer to replace it, turns out it's also the same one that the C5 corvette uses)
    The original owner had done the car up to look like an actual police car even using the Goodyear RSA's. Had to change them every 15K miles because they would not stay in alignment for whatever reason, the insides would always wear prematurely no matter who aligned it (and they were 225.00 each back then even online). I ultimately just ended up putting on BFG's and that seemed to fix it. My boss had a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis that had 250K on it and he had brought it brand new in 1998. Other than the fact that his transmission was starting to lose OD (because he never changed the fluid), the car never left him stranded. Oddly enough, the Caprice was the 2nd longest lasting car I ever owned before selling but it was the one that I had to get towed the most.
