yah, i've noticed that lately, an ss should be a more rare model than any of the other ones, but yah, lately there' putting ss on everything

even our little s10 @ work has ss on it, but its no more special than a regular 4.3l s10

 

They also seem to use the exact same "SS" wheel on every SS model too.

 

yeah i remember when you bought a SS model you got a special version of that model more power,better handeling,body kit but now in dayz if you ask me they just stop trying they just slap the
SS badges on any and every car the make !!!!!!

 

Ya, I feel sort of guilty having SS badges on my car - I could see if the car is supercharged, but it should stay old school SS = V8 RWD

 

AMEN to that!!! When you think SS you're supposed to think of a mean machine that is to be feared by mere mortals!! '69 Nova SS is one example, or even a '91 454 SS Silverado. I'm not too scared by a 210hp Cobalt SS. Not knocking any Chevy vehicles because I am a diehard Chevy man for life, but seriously...a 2007 Malibu SS?!?! I know the 3.9 is a great motor, but would you classify it as a true SS? It doesn't impress meTHAT much.

JMHO.

 

I agree with what your saying, but times have changed alot since Nova's, Chevelle's etc. We are just finally starting to see some RWD cars re-appear in the market place. Just because a car is front wheel drive, as long as it has the power to back it up and its the "top" of its model line, having an SS on it should not be a problem. Classic example, Look at the Monte, what did the big, bad V8 of the 1980's have? 180HP 305? Solid motor, but how can it even compare to the 303 HP LS4 we have now?The 2006 Monte SScan wear the SS with pride as far as I am concerned. And my Supercharged Cobalt with stage II putting down 260 At the WHEELS, well, lets just say I take ALOT of cars by surprise. 2nd and 3rd gear it that car is better then sex. I had 1999 Auto vette which I sold in the summer, 350 HP LS1 and you know what, it would be a DAMN close race. There are several video's of Supercharged cobalts on www.cobaltss.net beating 2006 GTO's and stock AUTO C5 Vettes. Thats pretty damn impressive if you ask me. And I would honestly have to say, my Supercharged cobalt will pretty much eat my monte for breakfast. But I agree, a 2007 Malibu SS, I think its ridiculous.....

 

LOL!! You bring excellent points to the table. Yes, the conclusion I was drawing was that the SS needs to be a top performer. Something that makes you say..."Wow! This is a really cool car!" I am actually using a stage II Cobalt SS on NFS: Most Wanted and I love it!! 2006-2007 Monte SS are definately cars that make you say wow; FWD or not.
