The same setup was available as an option on the Buick Roadmaster. For those that wanted a Corvette and a Cadillac, and were willing to compromise a bit on both.
My 96 Buick Roadmaster sedan is pretty good. It's not the quickest, fastest, most nimble, or most comfortable. But it's got a pretty close to perfect combination of all those with just the right amount of compromise. My only complaint is the leather seats. If the velour from the 80s was available it would be perfect
Kind of a shame when a modern Suburban is quicker. This was such a great car in its day. I remember when the Marauder came out in '03, and I wanted both of them in a race so bad.
Everyone cries when Chevy doesn't build the car they want but when they do they cry and say it costs to much but they go and pay double for foreign car ... they want Americans quality for cheap Chinese prices now the Chinese are jacking up the price for junk the quality is getting better and Americans going down... that carvis better than the 740i
I had a 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood with the same engine as the Impala SS. I think it was under-rated at 260hp, it felt A LOT faster. That old Cadillac would run circles around any 5.3 V8 late model Suburban(they are both about the same overall length).
Thrse were nice, but man, they didn't hold up. You dont see hardly any of these in on the road anymore. Though slower the Crown Victoria turned out to be a much better car, at least they held up alot better.
They have held up well if taken care of. I had a 94SS for almost 30 years, and still have a 95SS to this day. Yes, I had two at the same time for many years.
It would outrun the Mustang of the same year in top speed. The similar Buick Roadmaster would out-acccelerate the same Mustang 0-60. Smooth riding, comfortable, safe family car you could take a vacation in or pull a boat to the lake.
@@melrose9252 Please lookup motortrend issues in 1994 for tests of the Mustang GT, Mustang Cobra, Impala SS and Buick Roadmaster. The SS beat the Cobra in top speed, the Roadmaster beat the GT 0-60. Back when I cared I saved the magazines and showed people because it was funny that a full size family car could beat a pony car
Maybe it's just my weird taste in vehicles, but to me, this is a beautiful vehicle. I'd like to see it tested head to head with the Mercury Marauder.

Always loved that this big, fat, heavy sedan was named after an animal that is small, lightweight, lean and streamlined. :P
Big - Black - Beautiful 👌🇺🇸😍😎
thank you jon moss

There's enough go-fast bolt on parts out there, so that it can move faster than a modern Suburban (save maybe the 6.2L V8).
I miss bigger cars with simple buttons
Loved the 1991 Caprice, I owned two at the same time.
First four door I ever liked
Very cool, love these black sport sedans.
Probably the last truly great car that GM ever made.
It's certainly the last great fullsize car GM ever made.
One of the best muscle cars ever.
What about the Corvette?
@@revelare_xvii6269 It's one of the greatest pony muscle car's ever to come out 😉👍.
@@neal6473The Impala SS is best and nice muscle car
The 1996 was even better with the new gauges and shifter.
$ 23,000! I would buy one right now! Gladly I still have a '95 Roadmaster,. One owner and 68k Miles. Still virgin and runs like a Swiss watch.

It could be that the Crown Vics sold a lot more than the Impala/Caprice
Only 60k impalas where built for 3 years, can't even begin to compare to how many vics where built

The 1998 to 2011 Crown Vic all look the same, come on man of course you see a lot more of them on the road.
@@AaronSmith-kr5yf< The reason GM quit making them was the. Crown out sold them hands down.

Did you try it against a Mustang with a V 8? I doubt it.

These cars didn’t look to good crushed.
So it's slower than the 04-05 Impala SS 🤣 🤣
Junk...there is a reason you don't see any of these on the road
