Super Sport, or SS, is an option package offered by Chevrolet on many of its vehicle lines since 1961. Some of the better-known models to bear the SS badge include the Camaro, Chevelle, El Camino, Impala, and Nova. Originally introduced in 1961 as an appearance package for the Impala, it became a high-performance package in 1966.

Until the Impala SS was brought back in 1994, the Super Sport package was only available on two-door passenger cars. Since then, however, the SS package has been used on a variety of GM vehicles, including pickup trucks, four-door sedans, and front wheel drive cars.

Both historically and today, the Super Sport package has typically included high-performance tires, heavy-duty suspension, and increased power, along with a variety of other performance and appearance upgrades. All SS models have come with "SS" markings.

Newer SS models are the Chevrolet Cobalt SS, Chevrolet HHR SS, Chevrolet Impala SS, Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, and the Silverado SS, along with the Trailblazer SS. Current North American-market SS models are tuned by GM Performance Division. The Impala SS is slated to replace the Monte Carlo SS in NASCAR racing, as the latter is being put on hiatus.

The SS badge is also used by Australian manufacturer Holden on its SS Commodore and SS Utes.

Stolen Script. Wiki?

The term SS originated from the a Michigan area Native American Tribe known as the Patowatomi. The original word "Essessuakaw" (pronounced Ess-Ess-Oo-wi-kaw), translates to:

"One possessing hunger for the souls of the weak".

Of course an Essessuakaw badge was not asthetically attractive or practical, so Chevy decided to abbreviate it to "SS".

It is rumored that James Roche, chairman of GM from 1965 to 1967 originally coined the term "Super Sport" because he didn't like to go into length about the meaning of the Patowatomi origins.

So there you have it.
