This is so true. GM is really is tossing the SS title around too easily,like in the current malibu and 00-05 montes. Personally, I really dont think my 03SS should be an SS. Come on, its a FWD and the 3800 barely pushes 200hp. The supercharged version prob deserves it though.My dad makes fun saing, "this is the weakest SS ive ever seen!". I sadly agree. I still love my car, even if it is a phony-SS!

 

the s10 ss has a few more things then the regular s10s but not a whole lot really. has a high output (lol) 4.3 liter, and a very slightly lowered and slighty better handling suspesion and a third shock in the rear i believe. More then some of the other ss cars but still probaly not really deserving the ss name.

 

I noticed that too. The Cobalt SS, Malibu/MAXX SS, Monte Carlo SS& Impala SS all seem to eitheruse the same rim design, or the same exact rims. Ithink the Malibu SS& Cobalt SS (supercharged)have factory 18" wheels like the Monte SS& Impala SS, so I guess they may just be the same exact rims.

Not true.. I have both a Cobalt Supercharged SS and a Monte SS.
Examples of both...

Oh ok, you're right. I wasn'treally sure. I knew that all of the currentSS cars share a similar rimdesign. Wasn't sure if they all used the same exact rims though. Nice cars by the way

 

bigg j this is just to give the lil SS's that could a bit of support.

dragtimes.com has a stock 06 malibu SS, and stock malibu maxx SS both with reported times of 15.310

the first number is 0-60, second is 1/4mi

 

wasn't the 454 a 7.4l engine?? at least thats how all my computers show it???

 

nothing against GM /chevy using the SS badging on any car that fits the bill cause we cant think about it the same way they did back in the 60's big motor reardrive car's now in days the cars are smaller motors are smaller less power but also less weight so some of todays SS cars deserve the badge and some dont i personely love the cobalt ss its a muscle car of today we mite not all like were the car industry is going but thats what it is but the thing that i dont like is when they put the SS name on a 4 door with a body kit no thats just wrong the SS needs to be a performer

 

yea wiz, the 454 is a 7.4L

the 7.2 is the 0-60 time
