  • Let's face it: The 1990s were a lousy time for GM cars. Sure, the dark age of CEO Roger Smith was over, but there were still few cars for GM devotees to celebrate. One of those few was the 1994-96 Impala SS. Big and bland, the car makes even the most caffeinated person doze off just by looking at it.
    Inside is a different story. The Impala SS was an homage to the big-muscle sport sedans of yore. With its Corvette-derived LT1 V-8, the Impala generated numbers unseen on a full-size American sedan since the early '70s.
    How far can it go? In this episode of EF, we look at Ron Miller's 700+ HP monster to see what an Impala SS can truly achieve.
    This episode first aired on /Drive+. Now we've made it available for anyone and everyone to view. Hope you enjoy!

    I have such huge respect for these cars, and American cars are on the lower end of my interests. So cool this guy is so far from the typical old dude to rock 700 hp and use it! A true hot rod guy for sure.

      Yeah.. At 1:00 he does a burn out a long way away from the mic, and drowned out by music. Around 3:00 you hear the engine start, again drowned out by music.
      Not good enough imo.
