My New 2015 Chevy SS **Boo-Hissss**
- Thread starter SHO-Time
- Start date
I think your car is absolutely gorgeous, congratulations!
How much was it? Incentives?
In my 30+ years of driving, Fords products (primarily Mustangs) have made up most of my cars. That said, the Chevy SS is (stock for stock) faster than an SHO if driven properly. But for me, it lacks one crucial item for single car ownership in the Northeast ...
AWD.
Have fun with your car, let us know how you like it, and post up some vids.

I concur about the AWD, but I was sick of having the winter dictate the cars I buy. I said F**K it, this car is cool and I'm buying it. My last four cars have all been turbocharged and although I LOVE turbos, I really wanted an N/A V8 powered muscle car with some utility. This thing sounds soooooooo good...and it's pretty rare as it's difficult to find one with the 6-speed manual.
The incentive was 72 months at 0% financing plus I had a lot of GM points from my credit card.
I'll post more picks and videos when I get a chance.

Very nice. Even more rare than SHO, can't say I've ever seen one in the wild. Probably only popular in the south. I also don't see many 300/Charger SRT8 sedans in Colorado.
If you want 4 doors + V8 + AWD, you have very limited choices. Anything, other than a couple expensive SUVs? Dodge dropped the Charger R/T AWD for 2015. Infiniti has their Q70 and Mercedes.

Length wise, they're both virtually the same. The SS is a few inches lower and slightly thinner then the SHO. Weight wise, the SS tips the scale at 3,970 lbs. The dashboard in the SS is closer to the windshield so with my driver's seat all the way back, an adult 6ft person can still fit very comfortably in the backseat. One of the pluses and minuses of the SS is that it has perfect 50/50 balance, however the trade off is the rear seats do not fold down...only the center portion does.
Power wise, it feels faster than my tuned non-PP SHO, however we all know how a dig race from stoplight-to-stoplight would play out. The manual SSs have been running better times then the autos in 1/4 and there is a guy on youtube that ran a 12.8 in a bone stock 6-speed manual with mediocre 60 ft times. I received a "free" GoPro with my purchase, so me and my brother-inlaw will do some runs between his tuned PP with intake & downpipes vs. my stock SS!!

A GoPro video of the modified SHO vs the stock SS would be awesome. It should be pretty close, I bet!
It looks great. I defiantly like it and since it looks like you can share parts with the yellow jacket in the garage.
What GoPro are they giving away? The one just before the new super small one came out just recently?
That 50/50 weight distribution is awesome! I would like to see a modified SHO vs a stock SS I would be curious how it plays out. Have to make sure I don't embarrass myself out on the roads here when I see one. LOL.

r1crusher said:Really nice ride there for sure! I just couldn't swing paying the asking price for the SS but I do like the car a LOT. It just makes me miss my TBSS that I traded in for the SHO. I DO NOT miss the piss poor mileage though...
Enjoy the new ride!
I do a lot of highway commuting and the mileage not toooo far off of the SHO. That being said, I haven't really tested the mileage cause I've had my foot into the gas quite a bit recently. I told many dealers to go F themselves with their pricing. It took a little while to find one that was willing to deal.
