1991 Chevrolet Caprice Classic review from North America
"Kick ass power, not a whole Viper in looks, but insurance costs are low"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner hose blew and leaked water out in back right seat.
Wears through tires fast if you are an aggressive driver like me.
General comments?
Good low-end torque for easy merging/passing as well as brisk getaways!!! 5.0L helps when a certain Mr. Miller is chasing you around (for your license plate numbers) the city for wiping cookies at the fairgrounds.
Plenty of room, about 190-200 HP. Very responsive steering. Can do a full 360 on cement. When all is well with the motor and is running at maximum power, you can do a 10 second burn-out with smoke covering about a full block. Don't think that it can to it? Well put a little oil under the tires and try it yourself!
Looks aren't that great, but if you shave the doors and really pimp it out to look like an Impala SS it looks sweet!!! :-)
