SS Derived from the Caprice and built on the GM B-body platform,
the 1994-96 Chevrolet Impala SS was first teased as a concept car
at the 1992 Detroit Auto Show. The production version differed
little from the concept and was produced at GM's facility in
Arlington, Texas. It was equipped with the Caprice's C91 police
package, which included such goodies as beefed up suspension, a
high-capacity cooling system, dual exhaust, a transmission cooler
and larger disc brakes. A limited-slip rear differential was
standard, and the SS rode on 17-inch alloy wheels. Prices started
at around $22,500. Under the hood was GM's 5.7-liter LT1 V-8 also
used by the Corvette and Camaro. In the Impala, however, the LT1
had cast iron cylinder heads instead of aluminum as well as a
different camshaft set up for usable torque rather than peak power
and two-bolt main bearing caps instead of the four on the Corvette.
Horsepower was 260, but torque was an impressive 330 lb-ft. At
4,300 pounds, the Impala SS was hefty, but it was lighter on its
feet than it looked thanks to bits from the C91 package, and it
would do 0-60 in seven seconds and the quarter mile in 15.3
seconds. 1994 models were only available in black with a gray
interior, and just 6,300 were sold in that shortened model year. In
1995, the similarly sinister shades of Dark Grey Green and Dark
Cherry Metallic were added, and over 21,000 were sold. In 1996, a
further 42,000 Impala SSs were sold, and revisions included a
redesigned instrument panel with tachometer and relocating the
shifter from the column to the floor. The car's days were numbered,
however, as the whole B-body line was discontinued after 1996,
making this the last of the rear-wheel drive Impalas. These cars
make solid, comfortable cruisers and they're quicker than most
people would guess. Other than general 1990s GM build quality
issues, the Optispark ignition fitted to the LT1 is prone to
failure, although many have been fixed or retrofitted with a better
system by now. After an absence of a few years, Chevy brought back
the Impala for the year 2000 as a front-wheel drive V-6 sedan.
There was an SS model, but most people see these 1994-96 cars as
the end of an era. Rear Spoiler, Front Air Conditioning, Steering
