Смотря твои видео я сначала думал, что ты всегда едешь по трассе с серьезным лицом. …а потом ты заговорил по-русски. Смотреть как Миша проходит повороты и отпускает шуточки бесценно. Нужно больше контента с интересными тачками!

I've owned one, a 6.6 litre conversion. The steering is a "gearbox style" found on old trucks here in the USA, not a rack and pinion. They are notorious for getting gear mesh "play" as they age. 1,800 kg is correct. Single piston front calipers are a drawback. Rotors hold up well usually but slotted used to be a big improvement. Believe it or not there used to be a Porsche caliper conversion for the front. Opti-spark was the main drawback to this engine. The distributor ran off the camshaft in the front of the block but because it was directly behind the water pump it would get hot and misfire. MSD made aftermarket parts to help the problem. Police interceptor parts and SS parts are mostly the same except for coolant hoses. Spring upgrades were popular but more important was the swaybar and rear control arm upgrade. More or less it's like driving a living room wherever you go 🤣.

Yes! I've been waiting for this one since you originally showed the car. A 96 SS in DGGM was the first "fast" car I ever owned. May not be the fastest car around the Ring, but they are still fun cars. Plus, they're built like a tank, I survived a crash at over 120mph in mine.

Well some of us don't need subtitles. I even noticed that the subtitles are let's say "incomplete". Definitely the best video of 2022 so far!

It's good to see that old V8 running about and stretching it's legs. You don't get those very often in other countries. They are typically domestic machines that never leave the continent. Glad you enjoyed driving that rolling couch around the 'ring. They don't make them like that over here anymore.

Соболезную тем, кто не понимает русский. Субтитры и близко не передали всех приколов) Крутой видос, спасибо)

I have been waiting for this one. I have personal interest since I had a Caprice with the same 5.7 V8 engine, it was like driving your living room sofa and this Impala SS is a ”sportier” version of that, basically a cop car underneath. I’m a huge fan of these full size land yachts, there’s nothing like them anymore.

Listening to the banter and jokes while doing that lap made me smile and laugh. That kind of fun is priceless!

В голос орнул, спасибо за контент!

I’ve always loved the 90s Impala SS, and really the whole B body series in general. Nice to see these cars around a track.

Thank you for going through the effort of adding subtitles, Mischa. I’ve also been excited about seeing this lap for nearly a year. My SS was the first car I searched for, traveled cross country, and drove back. I had a lot of fun modifying it, racing SCCA, and winning a few car shows. Probably spent more time than I should have on that vehicle but it was a passion that was hard to control. Glad you had the chance to experience driving a couch around the ring.

Love my impala and loved my 96 9c1 (police package). I'm a strong believer that the GM b-body cars are hands down the best all around car for the money (well kinda... they're sky rocketing in price). Once you do all the bolt ons stall and gears and a proper tune she's a perfect modern muscle car/ comfy cruiser .

That looked like a fun lap, it continues to show you can have a lot of fun in a slow « not built for track » car on the nordschleife.

The last RWD Impala SS for the generation before the FWD conversion four years later. That Impala SS still rocks.

This video brings so much joy to my heart, love seeing one of the Greatest classics to ever grace the streets get the privilege to roll out in fashion like this🏁🏁🏁 TeamSS

Nice video and thanks for adding the subtitles Misha, albeit veery censored ones 😄

I think this is one of my favorite laps. Having gotten my licence in, what is basically, the 1976 version of this car, I was laughing all the way through this. Thanks Misha!

This is great. My daily driver (I'm in the USA) is a 1996 Buick wagon version of that car called the Roadmaster. It's a lot of fun to drive around.

It was awesome to see the Impala SS on Nürnburgring :D I can totally relate to the steering, it is not the fastest and most precise on these GM B-Body cars but holy crap these are good cars!

First boat to make it through the Ring.

Finally, I’ve been waiting for this video since you first showed the car. I had a 1994 SS BBB. Tell your freind to have bushing installed between the frame and chassis. None were put in at the factory. That’s why it feels like it’s flaoting. Car feels planted with them. And, it’s not a “Police Interceptor”. Chevrolet based the SS on the 9C1 police pack version. Translplanted a LT1 Corvette engine, blacked out the car and named it the Impala SS in honor of the first SS in 1964. I had my first +200 km run in mine.

It makes perfect sense. I don't know how many here have been to the US or Canada but everything is straight 😂. So you don't really need good handling just a massive engine to catch perpetrators.

Another addition to the Nurburgring boating club 😁 Nice sailing there, Captain!

The most gangsta chevy

I really dig the giggle inducing drives. Although you didnt know it at the time, this is a great birthday video for this old man to giggle along with you gents. Thank you and cheers!

We are in a time machine or something lol. I love these old videos! Hope you have more of those old laps to upload!

Слушать Мишу на русском одно удовольствие, юмор и этот мат родной, как будто "izolda rally" смотрю

I like the "censored" subtitles 😅

First v8 i drove was a wh caprice and it felt like a Time Machine when you put your foot down as a 17 year old. That sensation of floating when you start hitting the 150kph mark is undeniable hahaha

Holy moly what a transformation of you camrad Misha, God jobs Woking out. Spasiba Camrad

Man, thanks for taking that Big Bad Boat out on the Burg. You have to have mad skills to muscle it through the curves. Wanted to share the correct details about the 1994 - 1996 Impala SS with you all. It never was sold with the Corvette LT1. The Impala SS prototype created by Jon Moss for GM was a 9c1 (Caprice with the Police Package - HD suspension and cooling) with a T56 six speed paired with a Corvette LT1 with a monochrome black paint job and unique interior seen in your buddy's SS. A retuned LT1 5.7-liter (350 cu in) small-block V8 (OHV push rod) 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 Impala LT1 had 2 bolt main bearing caps while the Corvette LT1 had 4 bolt main bearing caps. The LT1 has reverse cooling for a 10.5:1 compression ratio, uses 87 octane fuel, cam driven water pump and the a optical distributer mounted on the front of the engine driven directly from the cam. The impala SS came with 3:08 rear gears and a Auburn POSI differential. Dry weight is well over 4100+ pounds. 7+ second 0-60mph. 15.0+ ET and low 90 mph for the 1/4 mile. Now you know! Drive fast! Don't die!

Fun stuff! Just needs some Corvette brakes and an LS3 swap and it could be a fun taxi.

These impalas are amazing cars

"From Russia with Love!!" --- "You're Welcome Here!!" xD hahaha fav interaction

An icon of a car from my teenage years! Thanks for the ride-along!

This bings back so much memories from my childhood! My dad had one when we were living in the states.

That's amazing! Seeing the POV gave me flashbacks to driving those 80s & 90s GM cars with their over-boosted power steering. That was a lot of fun to watch.

Ребят, реально очень крутое видео, боялся за вас в каждом повороте))) Вы живы, а это не может не радовать! Давай побольше такого контента)) Очень атмосферно получилось Особенно перевод с русского на английский😅

Wow, a stock one too. That totally made my morning. God I miss mine 😢

Easily the most fun lap I've seen. I've still got one of these (my second) and they are reasonably sporty but do the long haul trips perfectly. This version has many of the modifications of the Chevy 9C1 (Special Service Package) which was a much loved police car. Police Interceptor refers to Ford Products....in either event...thank you for the great video.

The amount of swearing censored out in the subtitles is amazing lol 😂🇷🇺👌🤞👍

Даешь второй канал с хиханьками и хаханьками на русском :) очень понравилось)

This would be right at home on the Autobahn. The Ring, not so much. Very comfy daily driver if gas price is no issue. One of the best engines ever. Also wow what a difference a year makes. You weren't kidding on looking different. Well done.

Это лучшее видео из всех на канале.

This is amazing! I had one a few years back

AMAZING. It didn't fall apart or melt the brakes. As a Canuck I still see these on the streets. Mad respect for the change in cars from GM from the 90's to like the CTV Caddies. Отличные веселые мальчики!

Great video. I have owned the 96 Caprice version with the tow package and now own a DGGM 96 SS. Both cars had issues with steering input with very low kms. This car does not have a steering rack. The steering box can be adjusted by loosening the nut turning the hex screw in the center clockwise a little then tighten the nut until the over center free play is acceptable. This will reduce the steering input required and give better stability. This adjuster is located on top of the steering box. Easy fix, I hope your friend has it done, then do the ring again.

Fun run! Thanks.

The amount of banter and swearing was hilarious, Russian language is the best :))

The subtitles 🤣 for all the people who don't know Russian you missed out. Just perfection.

самый веселый онборд из всех что я видел на этом канале))))

corvette powered land yacht! there was a police video back when this was on sale where it literally outran the chase helicopter xD

Interceptor name refers to Ford police vehicles only while Chevy uses "PPV" and dodge uses "pursuit". The Chevy impala SS had the 5.7L V8 LT1 Corvette engine from a C4 Corvette. They did 150+mph with just 260hp.

Это была самая комфортная гонка в его жизни, мягенько, плавненько...

Regarding the steering you can improve it with a Jeep steering shaft from a late 80s-early 90s Cherokee. Polyurethane body mount bushings gives it a rougher but tighter feel when cornering. Lowering springs and beefier sway bars also improve the handling of this massive machine. I’m planning on adding a 12.0:1 steering box to mine in a few weeks. I’ll report back with results if you desire. Lastly, I’m upgrading from 17” wheels to 18” to get some better tire options. I heard that rubber screaming on the turns lol

Hell yeah, B-bodies. That interior looks too nice to have been from the standard cop car. Either way, this thing belongs on the autobahn. Big American yachts like that will cruise along at high speed all day in supreme comfort. We had a GM B-body like this on a cross-country Lemons Rally, and it was hard to do the speed limit even in our non-SS version. It just floats right along!

I've been waiting for this since you spotted it in the car park!

I have a 96 Impala SS and I wish I could take a tour of the Green Hell also...that looked Fun!!!

I used to have one of these! Awesome vid. I always wanted to bring my 96 cadillac fleetwood to the ring. Its on daytons but has full qa1 stage 3 coilovers, built trans and shortened impala ss rear end. It would be a laugh. Not to mention there is 10000 watts in the trunk. To see something that big moving and bumping would be epic

OMG I am just now seeing this post a to an impala SS Facebook group . This was beyond awesome and I am two weeks late

That was a great video to see. I hope Master P the rapper saw this video, he used to have an Impala just like that one but it was a built one with like a 1000 horsepower, sick paint job, wheels and a system

Those old Caprices floated everywhere. So much play in the rack 😂

Nervous as I'm watching...I own a SS and they don't handle all that great just for cruising only LOL!! Glad you're having a good time!

Great video as always Misha, car looked way better than I ever anticipated, perhaps it's the nice suspension :). P.S for easier subtitles, have you tried first uploading the video to YT with original russian, then use the auto translate to get the text and fix it yourself? Still takes some effort to edit but beats the hell out of doing it fully manually and from scratch

Good video

Big car, heavy car with the corvette engine of the time but with cast iron heads. GREAT car for very long road trips. Has the comfort and the speed when needed.

this vid made my day today Mischa -- ty

So cool. I have a 1991 Caprice Classic and it’s still going strong. The idler arm steering rack does have too much play. Love the Impala SS

Misha I don't want to sound bad but you look much better now!

Your channel really shows how important brakes are.

Маты то ещё не забыл) красавец)

So many LOLs! Too much fun! Excellent!

That was a really good drive to not overcook it, I was hugely impressed that the old barge made it through the whole lap. What other cars from 94 for similar money do you think would be a fun drive for a lap?

That was hilarious, thanks for the subtitles, Rj in Oz

I've never seen a POV drive of the Nurburgring, and the choice of vehicle creates a most unexpected driving experience. Is that actually MILES per hour? Considering this car's chassis dynamics date to the early 1970s, I salute you for the bravery in taking it up to those speeds!

Great title, great video

Hilarious, Misha! I could tell you had fun on this lap...

Today's episode with the under-titles reminded me of the Best MOTORing Classics. Just with Russian instead of Japanese :-D - Fun to watch!

Well I don't need to speak the same language to know how much fun you guys were having on that lap, exactly what TF should be about 😎

Искал видео. Где Миша будет комментировать по-русски. И вот нашел!🎉😅

Yes,I like it when a normal car in a track

My dream car

This is the BeSSt video you have ever made !!!!

Inspiring. I'm definitely tracking something like this one day

Many of the characteristics that make this "low power" vehicle enjoyable are similar to what I like about my w126 300se.

Really enjoyed this video Would love to see more "odd" vehicles don't even need to be fast

Elwood Blues wants this car.

What a tank rock n roll 🤣🤣👍

That was rather terrifying.

1:44 that 36/94 means tire was made in 36th weeks of 1994 which makes it about sep 5th of 1994

Watch this be Misha's best performing video in the american demographic

Long&Strong Skiiiills!

Er zijn vast aftermarket upgrades beschikbaar om de weg ligging te verbeteren. En dan een grotere "airco compressor" er op zoals Cleetus Mcfarland heeft gedaan op de Marauder.

Awesome! Those tires did look a bit old. I own a 94 Impala SS and put a 6 speed in it. Main thing about this car is fun, if it provides the fun then that's all that matters.

Weight is 4,200 lbs, 2.2 kilos?? Great seeing this video Misha, I had exact same car, on the highway 125 mph felt like 75 mph. Top speed 144 mph without any modifications.

“Extra room in the steering box”…lol IKR, Misha? Those are pretty highly prized here in the USA. I always like to say American cars that are built for comfort (like the Impala shown here) drive like a “flying couch.”

can't wait forr the jag XJ220

Police Interceptor is the 9C1 Caprice, not the Impala SS. they do have the same engine, the LT1 Corvette motor that was toned down from 300 BHP to 260 BHP.

Excellent 👊🏽😂😂😂great fun

Love the lap!! For anyone interested in some more info about the American police interceptor: The Impala was not a popular choice for police departments after the Ford Crown Victoria was avialable. The Fords handle ALOT better in police trim and will run for a million miles. Our police do not stop their engines either so with all those miles is 1000s of hours of idle time as well. They are built to run 24/7 for years. After the cops are done you can pick cheap and keep it running for decades..... The Cleetus McFarland youtube channel has been buying them up, installing a roll cage and nitrous and having races on an oval track. Top Gear just filmed them a couple of weeks ago and participated in a race with Crown Vics.
