Nice forum yinz got here.

Anyway, I’m the owner of a 95 Caprice. I bought this car about 6 months ago as my daily driver, then I got into the SS scene and started modding the h#11 out of it. It’s in nice enough shape, I’m keeping it a summer car.

The LT1 is mostly stock with just a few bolt ons. I have more plans for this winter to prepare for next summer. Next summer it’s also getting fresh paint.

I guess theres some sort of sickness that makes someone take a 4200lb car and make it fast(er).

Just recently I met up with a bunch of other Caprice / Impala owners from the Burgh and we started a club. ICISS (Iron City Impala Super Sports) If theres anyone else out here with the same sickness, look us up.

Thats affirmative. It’s still a really good motor, plus I can’t afford the LS1 conversion some of the b-body guys are doing. I do want to do the t56 conversion though eventually… 🙂

Thanks for all the welcomes

Yup… I think the wagons were around 4500-4600… I’ve never put it on a scale though, my numbers are from various reviews and articles found online…

Everytime we take a road trip I consider pulling onto a truck scale though… 🙂

ok…well that makes me feel a little better, 3800 is still a little on the heavy side.
