Body style | SS vs LT | Any difference?

Is their any difference in body styles from the 2010 SS and the 2010 LT and the 2011s? Or is the motor just different?

Because to me the bodys look different. Mabey I'm just blind...

The biggest giveaway is the mailslot. You'll also see that the SS front is lower to the ground and almost parallel while the V6 sorta slopes up. The lower grill is bigger on the SS too. The V6 also has a smaller diffusor.

The biggest thing besides the slot as said above ^ is the lower grill. It's bigger on the SS. That combined with the mail slot gives it a different look

As far as visible parts go...

The fascia on the SS is different than the LT/LS. The SS fascia has the faux-mailslot, a larger lower grille for more air flow, and a lower fascia "light-catcher", for a lower and wider looking stance.

The rear diffuser is also different. The SS diffuser has larger openings for the bigger exhaust tips, and the spacing of the vertical slats are therefor spaced slightly different.

Another visual element to the SS is the larger Brembo brakes.

Oh, and dont forget the badges

He is right. Even though they will both top out at the same 155 if you get the RS package with the v6. Unless its tuned of course.
