Pick on the Current Malibu SS or Impala SS. You might get smoked by one of those Eco-techs. SS was the baddest 4th Gen and Z-28 was the common mans race car. Why should that change?

At least the impala has a V8. Although, i agree with you about the Malibu.
BUT NO 4 cylinder car should ever have an SS badge on it in my opinion.
And there would have to be some serious motor work for any Ecotec motor to give me a spanking. My camaro is putting down north of 430 rwhp.
Im not saying its not a good engine, its just not worth of the SS name IMO. There is no pedigree behind it, its just a 4 banger with a nameplate slapped on it. Its nothing special, i still remember when SS meant something...you know, like SUPER SPORT. Not Super Slow like it does nowadays.
