its really not even a sleeper. all old american cars are like this. you just have to wake them up, they sleep as much as the demographic they were aimed at.

wake them up aka manual swap them

1:20 look at that tachometer

@Bleachanna indeed. The last generation rear wheel drive GM B-body uses suspension components that were used on prior GM F-bodies and A-bodies, in cars like the Chevelle, Malibu, Firebird, and Camaro. In a nutshell they designed bodies that appealed to more mature buyers that fit with the technology that they already had. That's why they were able to give us the '94-96 Impala SS, the underpinnings for a more performance-oriented sedan were already in the design, they only had to tweak the spring rates and swaybars and put different wheels and tires on. If you're really feeling motivated you can do a cylinder-head swap, remove the cast iron heads and put the aluminum ones from a Corvette on. Just don't expect the same longevity out of head gaskets if you do.

Answer to an age old question. We can all go to sleep now.

Hear escalating modern CAFE bare minimums on CARS is actually a big one while TRUCKS are a lot more lenient. Also, those ugly Chevy Trax's, Encores, Cx3's, HRVs & CHRs are also literally classified as trucks as opposed to a lifted up version of the half-assed featureless subcompact CARS they're most likely based off...

And my Safari can literally do everything a modern Mid Size SUV can do (It's even All Wheel Drive and has functional 3rd Row Seating), but SUVs are "sexy" and "Sleek" and admitedly get better MPGs than the old 350 with 2 cylinders cut off (Vortec 4.3), Safaris also tend to be more on the Truck side of things as compared to modern SUVs and they don't hold your hand while driving. Mid and Full Size vans of the 70s through early 00s had character and you could take an otherwise plain jane people mover and really make it your own, toss some nice Mag Wheels on, bullet mufflers and side exit exhaust, and wide fender flairs tied together with a cool paint job and you have yourself a functional daily and a project build on your hands. You can kinda see this with full size Body on Frame SUVs like the Tahoe and Escalade, but that style has fallen out of favor for the Tuner/JDM car craze and vans now are scarce. My fear is that if GM decided to bring back the Astro and Safari that they'd turn it into some sort of weird SUV or Crossover like what happened with the new Blazer, because everything has to be an upmarket SUV now (granted M Vans were fairly expensive when they were new). I'd love to see a modern Van resurgence in the North American auto industry, a Safari with a 5.3 Ecotec V8 or a throwback Econoline with slightly updated styling (maybe a 300/4.9 Liter I6 but not choked up with the emissions systems of the '70s) like what Dodge did with the Challenger, hell even if they did make SUVs go and make a Modern S10 Blazer based of the Colorado and introduce GMC Typhoon back to the market. Maybe it's my nostalgia speaking, but there's something special about vans and trucks of yesteryear that modern SUVs can never have.

Federal regulations make it so SUV's are considered trucks so they don't have to meet the ever-more strict car efficiency and safety standards. And people pay more for suv's and "Crossovers (whatever the hell that means LOL)".

It’s America’s back assward fuel economy regulations that should have died when the oil crisis ended and yeah they were written in the 70s and are stuck there There are less stringent minimum fuel economy requirements for “trucks” than for cars and since SUVs didn’t exist really in the 70s they’ve been ruled to fall under “trucks” for the purposes of the law. Those requirements made sense back then because there was a legitimate shortage of oil and most people daily drove cars whereas trucks were mostly for work So basically cars have had to get smaller lower to the ground much smaller engines etc. Manufacturers started pushing people who wanted bigger vehicles towards SUVs instead because its easier to make them while dealing with fuel economy regulations. Fun fact: this is also why the crown vics that aren’t P71s are massively de tuned whereas P71s get fuel exhaust bigger intake etc. Vehicles made for emergency services/the military don’t count against a manufacturers fuel economy score

I always thought it'd be cool to put a cam/heads/intake on a Caprice wagon, swapping the trans for a stick, and putting all the Impala suspension stuff on it. This, naturally, makes me quite happy.

Ruthlessnoodle nah. That’s ghetto as fuck

@Ruthlessnoodle and let me guess put tall ass rims on it too? This car is from Pennsylvania. If it sees anything like the roads you see in NH the ride would be harsh af without meaty tires. In the south you can get away with it more but with some of those unfixed janky ass roads, those performance big rims are shit.

In a braver, better world, the car would have come with stick as a factory option.

Yes. This is probably the best mod you can do.

Kilabird how true, used to scare the shiiit out of me 🤣🤣

I am the owner of the car and I partially agree, but I was set on the sedan the beginning because the wagons are 200+ lb heavier and a little pricier because the hipsters love wood-grain. But yeah, the wagons are super dope.

I inherited aa 1996 Roadmaster with Wood Grain. I'm fine with it being an automatic and I like that I can carry 7 people in the car. The only thing I want to do to it at the moment is disable the governor. Do you know how to do that?

i'm considering getting one of these and doing a manual swap as the trans is on its way out anyways. what did you have to do?

Will.......It's electronically controlled in the PCM, so you'll need to reprogram it. Several companies will help you accomplish this. GOOGLE will be your friend. ;-) I would recommend new valve springs if you really want to take the engine beyond the calibrated rev-limiter. Best of luck!!!

YoungClickClack Call it ~4200 lbs. Not any heavier than seemingly innumerable "sporty" cars you can buy these days. You can tighten the suspension up with all kinds of available parts (including police package Caprice parts).

Have you driven the current generation Ford Escape with the 2.0li EcoBoost? The thing moves and handles pretty well. Its essentially the same exact engine thats in the Focus ST. Plus in Titanium trim its a nice place to be.

Unbearable Pain crossovers may have a little better visibility than modern sedans, which most look to be designed to hide their 4 doors and try to look as coupish as possible, but older sedans, at least the ones ive been in, have had the best visibility of any car ive driven. And yes they do have more cargo space than sedans but most people who buy crossovers really dont need all that extra space the crossover provides. I fit my whole dormroom into my volvo 850. I dont buy into this whole crossover thing though it does make sense for some. Im just excited for when people realize they can just buy a wagon and get on just fine.

Dennis Irizarry I like how the cvt takes the focus st motor into a miserable experience. The plastic body will surely age great like the saturn vue too

I'd say the gla45 amg is interesting

Unbearable Pain A crossover is basically a crossbreed between a minivan and a hatchback, with slightly higher suspension and SUV-looks. It has all the advantages of the boring practical body types with just enough style to appeal to a typical consumer.

Same here,but i noticed it was moded when i saw the gauge on top of the dash board.

Yeah, the last year you could get a Buick B Body with a floor shift manual was 1965 (when you could get the LeSabre and Wildcat with the Borg Warner T10 4 Speed)

you could get a stick impala ss

Flame Yep, I had a gen 1 Taurus, baby crap brown. Lovable old goat, though it did try to blow itself up, twice.

***** Most crossovers don't have any interior space worth mentioning either. They're popular because of the seating position and visibility. People like a car they can get into and out of easily, and they like seeing over other vehicles. Of course, what happens when we're all driving crossovers? They start driving box vans?

what about the cadillac dts or xts? what do you think of those?

randomrazr He compared 1995 model which is 80ish with 2015 SUVs.

randomrazr The DTS was exactly the kind of car reinforcing the retirement age stereotype. Bland styling, and an interesting engine strangled by FF dynamics and a 4-speed slushbox. The XTS is where we have come to with big cars. Thankfully the styling has come around, but the massive pillars, reduced vision, and interior scrunch is all there. Mind you, I'm not pointing the finger at Cadillac here, these are issues seen across the board, but it is why the design is struggling. I mean, when people can buy Ford Explorers with more interior space that are also faster, we have a problem.

Back in the day when gas was a dollar a gallon 😅
