The 1996 Chevy Impala SS was a bright spot of the 1990s -- and a star in the General Motors lineup. Today I'm reviewing the '96 Impala SS, and I'm going to show you all around the Impala SS. Then I'm going to drive the Chevy Impala SS and explain what it's like on the road.

Looking at this video brought back great memories like making the car do its first burnout when he let me try it shortly after I got my drivers license... oups... and transmission failed shortly after that, which I got blamed for, but now thanks to your video I know it was not my fault but a common failure! time to settle the old family dispute... Thanks Doug!

    Reminds me of a family dispute that took 5 years to settle between me and my dad. Had an 85 Caravan, 2.2 auto, that used to eat CV joints every 6 months. He and mom thought Inwas abusing it, when the only vehicles I rode hard were my own, after building them to survive it. 18 axles in 5 years, one, popped inner joint, on a BRAND NEW shaft. Inner ones rarely let go, especially when new. That time, it had 5 miles on it, and my wife was with me. She verified the Inwas slowly leaving a parking space when it let go, and hadn't been pushing the van hard on the way there. Whike repacing it, still under warranty, I called a friend, and had her come over. One of the dealer techs, at the local Dodge dealer, and had her look it over. She pulled out a tape measure, wrote down the measurements, andnwent in to get dad, then asked. Did you replace the engine or transmission? Yes. How did you know that ? Because the driveline doesn't line up with the mounts. It's almost 2.inches off, left to right, which puts too much stress on the drivers axle, and too little tension on the passenger one. That's why the inner passenger one ket go, as it had too much flex. You owe your son an apology. About a dozen of them. Loosend the top mounting bolts, and it slid about an inch and a half over, fine tune from there, and torqued down. No issues after that. Had the van another 5 years before passing it on to a friend that needed a vehicle, so he could drive out to get his kids on the weekend. He got another 3 years out of it, and did the same for one of his friends. No idea how long she had it, but I hope it served her well.

    Bro, I salute you. I drove the police car version and it was a monster. I also liked the trunk space because you could put several bodies in it provided they were duct taped appropriately ... I think my record was 5. You could also stock a small armory in the trunk space. When you hit the gas and hit the lights and sirens, man it was pure adrenaline and one time we caught air and that was like a magic carpet ride. In hindsight, I wished I t-boned a bad guy's car to see what the front end push bar could do but no such luck.

    I have owned a 1994 Impala SS, which was unfortunately totaled in 2004. I then purchased a 1996 Impala SS which I still have to this day. I still love the styling of the car and still enjoy driving it. I did upgrade the suspension and enjoy the improved handling. Knowing this car inside and out, I wish Doug and other folks reviewing this vehicle would stop telling everyone that this car basically has a corvette engine from 1996, "It does not"! The 5.7 liter V-8 is nice, but it is a severely de-tuned version of any corvette engine of the day, (Corvette factory hp: 300), (Impala SS factory hp:260). The Impala SS certainly has decent accelleration for the era, but not the "push you back in the seat" low end torque that many folks would expect from a corvette motor, I wish it did! I have also owned a 2004 Mercury Marauder, and heard many folks say that it is basically a Mustang motor from the same year, again, "it is not", again it may be considered a de-tuned version of the Mustang motor without the low end punch. I still love the styling and performance of both the 1996 Impala SS and the 2004 Mercury Marauder and will happily drive both any day, let's just not get to carried away with the performance numbers because remember, they are much larger and heavier vehicles than their high performance siblings. Please folks don't get too upset with my personal review of these vehicles, I know they both have great enthusiast followings and I am still an enthusiast myself. Thanks. 👍🏼

There was a hot “Corvette package” that was amazing to drive. The square back Impalas were great too relative to what was available at the time.

Second, 94/95 had cup holders that got deleted in 96 with the shifter. Last, for shocks all the SS came factory with Bilstein's.

    Nov 1995 I bought a Dark Cherry Metalic Impala SS. It was my daily driver for 16 years. I put a cold air intake, an free flowing exhaust one it. And flash tuned it. It freed up 45 horse power and dynoed at 305hp. Up from the stock base dyno of 260hp. I won many trophies at car shows and drag racing events over the 16 years of ownership. I sold the car in 2011 with 380,000 miles on the clock. It ran a best quarter mile of 14.3 seconds at 98mph on drag radial at Houston Raceway Park on a very cold crisp low humidity day.

    That was pretty much the standard design across brands back then, with the first gen airbags. The bags themself were rectangular, one size fits most, deas back then. Standard in cars as of 90 or 91, and trucks as of 94, so every wheel looked like that, back then. Kind of like how third brake lights all looked the same from 86 until around 1998. Just kind of jammed on to meet the new lighting standards.

    Actually, in the mid-'90s is when that "apply brake to shift from park" interlock first began to appear. Before that, you could shift out of park *without* stepping on the brake, which caused many worn shifters to actually *fall out* of park on their own, and wound up running over people. Adding the brake interlock was a safety requirement imposed by the government in the mid-'90s. So they needed to put a label on there to prevent the confusion of older drivers who had never had to step on the brake to shift out of park before.

    At the age of 2½, my little brother crashed my mom's car. It was a 1981 Dodge without any shift interlock. He climbed over the bench seat from the back seat into the front seat, hung onto the steering wheel with both hands, stretched his foot down to the gas pedal, then moved his right hand from the steering wheel to the column shifter. We had left him in the back seat and we were checking the vitals. Engine oil, power steering, Etc. were checked with the engine off, then the transmission fluid was checked with the engine running (per the manual). When I started the engine, kid bro was still in the back seat. After checking the tranny fluid, we heard the engine rev up: dad was closer to the passenger side, so as he went around the passenger side of the engine compartment, I went the other way and I got to the driver's window just in time to see the car go into "D" and shoot forward out the car port and down the driveway. He's always been big for his age (IIRC, he was over 10 Lbs/4.5 Kg at birth) and is now north of 6 ft (1.88m) tall. So, yes, my little brother lived (so did the car) and he is still alive and kicking. This is on the list of reasons why I'm not a fan of automatic transmissions. Too easy to drive. Every automobile I have ever bought myself for myself has had a clutch pedal manual transmission. So, yes, shift interlock was not a thing in the USA in the 1980s and earlier. It was common for vehicles in the 1990s to have instructions printed either on the dashboard or near the gear shift indicating that the brake had to be depressed in order to shift from park.

Some really fun memories with all of those and later as he got older and retired, he moved more towards comfort and now has a Lexus SUV but still has a 1:18 model of the Impala SS in his home office next to a 1:200 Air Force One he got from Bush after a motorcycle escort.

    There's a reason the steering on center didn't have much movement. It was intentional at the time, the thinking being a safety reason. People are prone to oversteer when performing an evasive maneuver which could cause an accident on its own. So having it a little slower to respond there was intended to help prevent aggressively steering around something. I had the 95 Caprice 9C1 because I really wanted the Impala SS but didn't have the money for one then. I kind of miss that steering actually, these newer cars drift so much more if I glance off the road for just a second. To this day, it's still the best car I ever owned and my favorite. No transmission issues or anything, this is the first time I heard of that.

    18:28 The Impala did have some history there in the Middle East but the Caprice name was far more popular in that market. Fun Fact: The 1999-2017 Chevy Caprice SS trim model (based on Holden Caprice) retained the Impala logos for the Middle Eastern market.

    As a teenager into cars of the late 40's to the 70's, in '94 when these came out, I thought this car was really cool. I remember in '95/'96, at a car show, an older gentleman was explaining to me that the preproduction Impala made too much torque, and during testing they broke axels and driveshafts. I guess Chevy had to tame the Impala before it went into production. Then several years later Ford had a performance Crown Vic called the Marauder, if I remember all this correctly.

    The "apply brake to shift from park," logo will have been due to the fitment of an interlock between the brake pedal and gear lever. Whilst it's common sense to apply the brake before shifting from park, interlocks weren't commonplace until the 1990s (and some people wouldn't have bothered before shifting)

    You like how the digital looks, but a speedometer with tach is an upgrade any way you cut it. And even with an automatic, a tach is useful if you care where you are in your power band. I have an automatic ‘97 Ford 7.3 van and wish it had a tach.

    Well as a avid driver of 90's cars, let me tell you.....those "golden miles" when the fuel guage reads over full, feels like free miles, like chevy gave you a few gallons for free, best miles all came before the guage began to move again
