Up until the other day at a small town car show, I had no idea that a Chevy SS existed. Nice looking car in and out.
The owner said it had a G-force meter on the dash/HUD. Wonder what the accuracy is? +/- 0.10G ?

After 9.5 years of owning an Acura TL, I had to get rid of it. The past 18 months have cost me $$$$ in repairs.

I bought a 2015 Infiniti Q50 over the weekend. I'm gonna spend lots of money on gas, tires, and a few tickets.

@neo why do you say RWD cars suck?

I've had a FWD cars forever and I've loved driving this car for the past 3 days.

Of course when it snows I'll be driving my wife's Jeep.

Because many weekends when I'm driving on the highway in snow and ice I see a bunch of RWD cars sliding all over the road. Always a pleasant sight. Going to start seeing those AWD Tesla P85's now with winter tires on the highway. Very jealous.

Well maybe if the idiots living out there put on snow tires you wouldn't have that problem. Problem is idiot drivers not the cars

Completely agreed. A bill almost past to start fining people for lack of tread on their tires. Didn't go through but they still go to the resorts and put notices on people's cars if their tread is worn down.

I test drove the SS last month. Amazing car. Chevy (Holden) really stepped up their interior.
2015 was the first year of magnetic ride suspension and the manual offered standard.
Unfortunately, 2015 is the last year of Australian production and 100k power train warranty.
2016 starts US production and 60k warranty.
It is a lot of car for $47,000.

Up until the 2016my, they were all made in Australia, then shipped here.
Longer warranty, and assumed better build quality.

^^ some sources are saying under 3 seconds

it will for sure be the most powerful and quickest series production SUV ever

i wonder if Porsche/BMW/MB will be bothered enough to introduce something to counter it... I seriously doubt it.

Bentley might be pissed. Their abortion of an SUV is (was?) tagged as the fastest SUV on the planet.

Seeing as how Bentley cars are faster (not quicker) than any of the current hellcat cars, that still might turn out to be true for the SUVs!

How much does it really cost a car company to add more colors to the line up?

Anywhere from emerald to forrest centering on british racing green.

damn near no one offering it.

Looks like the SS has now been canceled for 2016.
2500 sales a year wasn't enough to keep it alive. (Even though it is 80% the police Chevy)

that and the G8 does makes me sad in terms of killing future RWD V8 prospects, but the two cars just look vanilla. The SS looks like it was designed for the mid-2000's with a gaping maw tacked on.

I would imagine so, not to mention values are already up significantly from a couple of years ago;

*Very limited production
*Stripped out high performance model
*Last of the analog Porsches, or super cars in general. No traction control, no stability control, no active handling doodads or really any other electronics
