Opinion on SS Sedan? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

SSTG · 03-09-2015, 10:01 AM

I'm thinking about picking one of these up.

What's every ones thoughts on them? To me they are a Four door Camaro.

The only thing I really don't care for is the cheap chrome inserts in the seats, I would black those out though.

I know this is a Camaro forum, but the two are closely related.

Thank you for your thoughts!

Get it while you can. Holden is practically gone and so will these. I think it would make a good sleeper if you can keep it quiet.

I personally think the exterior is too bland. It's just not aggressive enough. The interior, from what I've seen, looks pretty sporty and top notch.

If I could get the SS interior with the Camaro Exterior I would be ecstatic.

SSTG · 03-09-2015, 10:16 AM

I agree the Exterior is not aggressive enough, but I do like it.
I bet a nice set of wheels and tinted windows would help a lot.

The Interior is done very well except for the Chrome additions to the seats. What was GM thinking?

I think you could make it a mean sleeper...

There's a few Chevy SS owners that visit this forum. They all love theirs. If I had the money it would definitely be a contender in that price range. Personally I like the idea of having a sporty car that blends into traffic. You avoid a lot of assholes that way.

It is some what of a 4 door camaro but a stock ss is a better all around car then a(flame suit on) camaro ss. Before all you guys grab your pitch forks im talking facts not opions. I agree the ss is lacking in the agressive looks department but it's still a nice looking car

I would agree with this 100%. If I could afford it, I would have gotten an SS over my Camaro. It's a better car, and it's a lot more unique. Plus sleeper cars are awesome.

I used to own a Pontiac G8 GT (Holden commodore) and it was a great car! My only complaints were that it did have quite a lot of body roll and it was a auto.. If I had bought a GXP from the get go I think I would still have it. The SS being 5-6 years newer than my G8 was it must be leaps and bounds better

Tricksta · 03-09-2015, 10:31 AM

Essentially the SS is just a remake of the G8's

BubbaSS · 03-09-2015, 10:31 AM

They should have made it at least look nicer than a Pontiac G8, but they didn't and charged $5k more.

Mityguy · 03-09-2015, 10:32 AM

To me its just boring to look at. Its good family car and its got what everyone wants under the hood and from what I've seen its comfy in there.

It seems like I'm the only person I know that LOVES the Chevy SS! I considered trading in my Camaro to get one but had a change of heart and said I will pay this one off then pick one up. Really, wifey gave me the side eye because she couldn't believe I was willing to part ways with my Zen after all we been through to get her. That showed me that she loves my girl just as much as I do

. I'm hoping I can still find one at a later time either brand new or a low mileage used one. But If I had the money today, without a doubt I would be rolling the Chevy SS.

It has just the right amount of aggressiveness to me. People that don't know what it is would mistake it for a Malibu. I love that. I dig the interior also and the fact that it comes with all the bell and whistles. If I was you, it would be in my driveway right now lol. It being an automatic can no longer be used as an excuse because you have the option of a manual now. Also you have Brembos in the front and rear now along with the Magnaride. You're good to go!
