I am driving a 1LT V6 with the 6 speed manual now. It is a pretty nice package. Everyone that has driven it is very impressed with the overall performance the V6 delivers. A lot of fun is available with that package.
Which is not to say that a V8 wouldn't be reallllly nice.
The V6 will easily break the tires loose and will cruse at 75 mph all day long. Downshifting for passing is not required.
I'm kind of settling in this way (for me).....if I wanted a daily driver, primary car I would probably get a 2LT RS. If it was a second car or weekend car for fun and cruising, I'd probably get the 2SS RS. The V8 in the G8 GXP we've also been driving is absolutely stunning. It is really hard to make use of that great motor on public roads.
So I think it is operting cost vs. total max performance. Also remember the SS includes the Brembo brakes.
