95 caprice 96 Impala basically same car

I’ve had a 95 and 2 96s and I can tell you that the 95 is more sporty than the 96. The last year 1996 they gave it a floor shifter and soften the suspension to make it more smooth but it made the car floaty and drive more like a Cadillac fleetwood instead of a sport car. Yes the 96 is the most desirable but the 94 and 95 are more fun to drive in my opinion. I still have a 96 black with 63k. Love this car.

I bought my 96 Impala new back in September 1995. I got the first 96 delivered to my local dealership. It was my daily driver for about 15 years. I still have it but it is a garage queen now - connected to a trickle charger. It now has 315,000 miles. We only use it when we're hauling our grandkids around. Our C5 Corvette is not well suited to hauling the kids. You mentioned the loose steering. The steering was so loose I had to replace the steering box. That helped a little. I love the car - flaws and all.

​@́ ' I don't recall the brand. It came from O'Reilly's with a "lifetime" warranty. The 96 Impala SS comes with a gearbox that is 3.0 turns - lock to lock. In other words, 1.5 turns from center. Chevy calls it "quick ratio". The Caprice of the same year comes with the same gearbox except it is 4 turns lock to lock. The first gearbox I got from O'Reilly's was for a Caprice. It would have worked except the ratio would have been even worse. I did not install it. I took it back and got the gearbox for the Impala SS. I think the slop is due to the gearbox itself and the other steering components (bushings, linkages and tires).

Back in '96 I bought a new '96 Impala SS Dark Cherry Metallic (DCM). "Room to Zoom" was the motto of the day. LOL The 1996 was the only one that finally got it right. As you pointed out in the video, it had the floor shifter, the tach, etc. The MSRP for mine was $26,192. It was a great car, but I hardly drove it because I stored it every winter (living in the rust belt sucks!) I sold it at 3 years old with just over 18K miles on it. The guy who bought it had won the NY State Lottery... he paid me $26K for it. Worked for me!

Had a ‘96 Grey-Green which I eventually put on 244,000+ miles before selling it…drove all over the Eastern states with it from NY to Camp Lejeune to MI where I did the Woodward Dream Cruise 3 years in a row with it!!! One of the best cars I’ve ever owned…couldn’t go to a gas station without someone coming over to look at it…everyone loved the color which was the more rare color! Drove it as a daily driver…even in 5” of snow… I’m 69 so I learned how to really drive a rear wheel drive car (all we had back in the day!) Even delivered pizzas with it for a couple of years…guys would come out of the house just to see it!

I got a 96 Impalas SS I bought it in 2018 sat for years before I bought it from the original owner who bought it brand new. When I got it it sat at 43244 miles. Paint faded really bad, but interior was immaculate. No rips in the seats no stains in the carpet. Doing a total overhaul on it. Currently waiting for my LT5 from Chevrolet Performance, I have at least 3 weeks to go before it arrives, and it's off for it's overhaul.

The 1996 was my 2nd favorite car, when I was growing up, I finally got the burgundy one about 8 years ago, I'm in the process of looking for the teal green impala, that's the color I really wanted. My first favorite car, was the 1987 monte carlo super sport which I purchased back in 1994, when I was in the navy, now I'm 46 years old. I have one more dream vehicle to get is that 2005 Supersport silverado extended cab, I love that truck and would like to have it in black. Would love to have a 1970 Supersport chevelle convertible, right now the price is out of my league.. I love old school Supersport!!!
