2014 SS - Anyone tempted? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm contemplating getting an SS when they come out. There's not a lot of info available, but it seems a good blend of LS3 and 4 doors with at least a little aggressiveness in the styling area.

Anyone else pondering the idea?

Oh I thought you were talking about a Camaro. You're in the wrong section bud. I thought you were completely clueless as to what a camaro is

Was looking forward to it because I have been contemplating a 300 srt8 for a family car. Will have to see it in person but was hoping the front end on the new SS would be a little more aggressive

4 doors? wtf?

It's not my fault they named the stupid thing just "SS"

Personally, I'm tempted since I have 3 kids and this would be roomy enough for all on a long drive. But I hope someone comes out with some ground effects or other enhancements.

It'll never replace a Camaro. That's not the point. I'm just curious what other Camaro owners think of it.

It is your fault that you put it in the wrong section

Joking aside, I would take it any day over the Charger. Aggressive kits will be made for it and it will look great.

Nope, that thing is ugly. Could have been awesome but they went with the rental car granny look instead.

Oh, okay. My bad- didn't even think about that car and I watch NASCAR races!!

I've only seen the SS as a race car. I do like my 08 SS Impala a lot, so if its anything like that it would be a great family car with some performance.

It's a family car, equivalent to an Impala or Taurus in Australia. They can't do anything extreme with it.

Too bad it doesn't come with a manual transmission
