I voted Camaro because anytime i hear anything that has to do with cars I think Camaro. I'd have to say when I hear SS I just think performance.

I think of:

Chevelle SS
Nova SS
Impala SS
Monte Carlo SS - kind of

When I think of Camaro I think Z28. (and IROC ) Ask random bystanders, most will think that too. Z28 is synonomous with it.

I think of the late 60's - early 70's SS Chevelles first... closely followed by the 67-68 Camaro SS 396s.

I usually think of Camaro SS because thats all I think about is Camaros. Second would be Chevelle. I have made it a point in the future to own a 454 Chevelle SS. I saw 2 396 Chevelle SS's today and almost couldnt contain myself.

I think of SS's as sporty big cars. I'm torn between Chevelle and Impala.

I gotta go with the chevelle, yeah the old camaro ss was nice, but theres something special about the chevelle.

Camaro SS doesnt sound special because the 96-02 SS's were nothing more than overpriced options, that didnt do anything for your performance..

And when I think of 1st Gen Camaros I think of racing stripes and cowl hoods. And I'm not the only 1 because more often than not regular 1st Gen base Camaro's, SS's, and RS's get modded to look like Z28's more than any other model.

For some reason, the 80's Monte Carlo SS's come to mind. I think because they are so common.

For me the definitive SS is either the '62 Impala or '70 Chevelle.

We'll see how the Cobalt turns out.

When i think of SuperSport, I think of a Red 1970 Chevelle SS with white racing stripes. When I think Camaro performance, I think Z28 or even ZL1 (i know it wasnt a model but DAMN I LOVE THAT MOTOR!)
