Well that’s just ignorant. I bought my SS specifically because it’s an SS. Had it shipped sight unseen from upper Michigan to Kansas. I’ll agree that most of the GM lineup is boring and bland, but this car does NOT feel like any other GM car.
The SS “failed” because it was never meant to succeed. It was built and exported from Australia simply to get a tax break down there, and to fulfill an agreement with their auto union. GM didn’t want it to sell a lot, so they didn’t advertise the car at all. Read more
Nope. I just took my ‘16 on a 2000-mile road trip, and the best I saw was 24 mpg. And that was with a super quick stop too get gas only.
The best was, by far, the #4 Corvette taking out the sign in 3/4. He went by, and it looked like it was just waving to all of us on spectator hill. The only other sign I recall getting taken out was on the front straight. I still want to watch the televised race to see what I missed.
They sold something like 527 of them in October. Considering they only produced ~3000 for MY16, it’s not surprising that you’re not finding any, as the MY17 is just now starting to hit dealer showrooms.
Ugly? Meh, I like it. It’s not as aggressive as a Charger, but the front fascia improvements and hood vents go a long way in improving the look of the ‘16-’17 SS. Read more
The 20% off was a GM bonus tag incentive. Anything over that was dealer.
Hey there, another one! Picked up my ‘16 in October for 20% off + 8% off from dealer. Friggin’ BEAST of a car. Don’t even care that it’s a 6AT.
I bought a new 2016 SS for $36k back in October, and it’s hands down the best friggin idea I’ve ever had, short of marrying my wife. Used 2014s are now in the range OP stated, and have all the balls of his C6, because it has the same LS3. Read more
Amen, brother.
That’s what makes it unique. Nobody gives mine a second look until the spot the red brembos or hear my exhaust when I shut down their attempt to pass me on the freeway on-ramp.
That particular car is at 1.3 MILLION miles. It’s also on the second engine and like third transmission. Still quite impressive, though.
I ran into him last week. He was flying down a main road, bangin' through the gears, and off the rev limiter. Took me two miles to catch up to him, and I was easily going 15 over.

Except the article is wrong. They DO NOT have wastegates. So yeah. Who's the moron, exactly?
Why are you shitting on Volvo for being Chinese-owned and profess to have tuned a 9-5 when GM shat on Saab for years? It sounds like you're arguing for the sake of arguing. Read more
I'm an Integra; can confirm.
People who are in the market for a WRX/ST aren't in the market for a Mustang. A 2-door coupe with a back seat usable only by small animals and children with no legs is not practical for someone who has larger animals or children with legs, yet wants something fun and sporty. Read more
From everything i've seen and read, there is no wastegate. Period.
The MGU-H absorbs power from the turbine shaft to convert heat energy from the exhaust gases, but is also used to control the speed of the turbocharger to match the air requirement of the engine by slowing it down in place of a wastegate or accelerating it to compensate for turbo lag. Read more
