1996 Chevrolet IMPALA SS - Super Sport
I bought this car new in 1996.
I couldn't pull the trigger on a 1994 or 1995 as they had digital
gauges and a column mounted shift lever, both of which I hated. Along
comes 1996 with extremely nice reworked analog gauges and a T shifter in
the console and I was sold. They only had one and it was Green/Grey
which is the color I would have chosen anyway. There were only a few
options available in 1996 and this one had them all. Plus it was the
LAST year for this iconic automobile. The last of the big Impala's. Many
people modified their SS's but I thought strictly factory stock was the
way to keep it, so I did not change anything. It has been a garage
queen all it's life up until a couple of months ago when I had to get it
out of the garage. Even though it is a northern car, it has NEVER been
driven in snow. I had other cars for that. History wise, the only thing I
had to have done to it was a new water pump and new batteries (of
course). ABOUT >>>>>>>>>Seventh generation (Impala SS, 1994–1996)
In 1991, the GM B platform was extensively redesigned, though it retained the same shortened frame design of the 1977 redesign. The Impala SS badge was resurrected at the 1992 Detroit Auto Show as a concept car designed by GM designer Jon Moss. The concept car was two inches lower to the ground than the regular Caprice, and was powered by a 8.2-liter (500 cu in) engine. Eventually, the concept car's engine was replaced with a 5.7-liter (350 cu in) engine derived from the Corvette in order to show the public what would be offered if put into production. The 1994 Impala SS went into production on February 14, 1994 at GM's plant in Arlington, Texas,[2]
and was almost identical cosmetically to the concept car, the only
noticeable change being the chromed bowtie logo on the grill (vs a red
logo on the concept). The car was, in essence, a high-performance
version of the Caprice. From a mechanical standpoint, it used the
Caprice 9C1
police package as its base and as such got most of the equipment
formerly available only to law enforcement and government agencies. This
included a sport-tuned suspension with reinforced shocks and springs, a
high-capacity reverse flow cooling system (derived from the Corvette's
LT1), larger four-wheel disc brakes, transmission cooler, dual exhaust, a
higher-output electrical system, and other minor mechanical
alterations. The Impala SS was uniquely fitted with a standard 3.08 gear. The
limited-slip rear differential was standard (as opposed to the option
G80 on Caprices) and the suspension was an inch lower. A retuned LT1 5.7-liter (350 cu in) small-block V8 was standard on the Impala SS, making 260 horsepower (190 kW) and 330 pound-feet (450 N·m) of torque
(retuned from the prototype's 300 horsepower (220 kW) rating). The
primary difference between the LT1 in the Impala and the LT1 that was in
the Corvette and Camaro was that the Impala engine was fitted with
cast-iron cylinder heads instead of aluminum ones, and a camshaft that
was designed more for low-end torque than high-end horsepower. Another
difference was that the block casting for the Impala LT1 had 2-bolt main
bearing caps while the casting used for the Corvette LT1 had 4-bolt
main bearing caps. The transmission used in the car was the 4L60E,
which was an electronically controlled version of the previously
hydraulically controlled 4L60. Cosmetically, the Impala SS received body-colored trim, which helped
reduce the sometimes "bloated" look of the standard Caprice, a unique
single-bar grille with no hood ornament and, a rear deck spoiler. It was
fitted with 17-inch (430 mm) brushed aluminum wheels with 255/50ZR17
all-season Z-rated tires. 1996 was the last year of production with 41,941 units sold. The 1996 Impala SS production went late into the model year; the last one being produced on December 13, 1996. It saw minor interior alterations, with the digital speedometer being replaced by an analog one, along with a tachometer. The shifter was moved from the column to the center console, and the engine was given an OBD-II computer control system (the camshaft was reground to adjust for the new computer). |

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
Chevy Bolt, GM's 200-mile EV, could debut in Detroit
Sat, Jan 10 2015It's not news that General Motors is working on a $30,000 electric vehicle with a 200-mile range. Then-CEO Dan Akerson said as much back in 2013. What we've heard before is that this mystery EV will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic and will will arrive in 2017. So, if that's all correct, then it would make sense that confirmation of this plan would come at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, which is just around the corner. And lookee here... The Wall Street Journal is reporting that GM will unveil a concept Chevy Bolt at the Detroit show on Monday. That name sure makes sense, too, since GM registered that trademark back in August. According to the Journal, the rumored numbers – 200-mile range, $30,000 price – are still what's expected. Some new purported details are that the battery will come from LG Chem, which also makes the Volt's batteries, and that the Bolt will be a crossover that could be sold around the world. This all smacks of a preemptive strike against the Tesla Model 3, which is also due around 2017. Currently, GM sells the Spark EV in limited areas of the US, despite a lot of excitement for wider availability. To sell a 200-mile EV for $30,000 means that GM and LG Chem will likely have drastically reduced the cost of making a big plug-in vehicle battery. What this means for the new Volt and GM's future plans is something we're more than a little excited about to learn more of on Monday, the same day that we get to see the redesigned Chevy Volt for the first time. Well, aside from the CES teaser. Green Chevrolet Crossover Electric 2015 Detroit Auto Show Chevy Bolt bolt
Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
