while it probably was a bunch “gangsta’s” in a Caprice with a slow L99 (4.3L) there are alot of “fast” caprices, theres tons that run high 13s all the way down to low 11s
Hell theres even a few twin turbo ones turning single digits that are street driven
The 94-96 Lt1 Caprices can be made quick relatively easy
I have a 215k mile 94 with a 2500 stall, shift kit, homemade air intake and pcm program that will turn low 14s all day long
Not fast by any means but quicker than alot of nyspeeders
