A Supercharged 2005 SSR with an LS2 and 6-spd is just about the only vehicle that could prevent me from waiting for a 2007-8 Chevy Coupe that isn't called "Camaro".

 

No real specs in the article though

 

the more i look at an SSR, in any of it's forms, the goofy-er it looks to me.

 

says a 425hp 5.3l in mine

 

That's one sick looking truck. I'd take one if it looked like that stock with that much power.

 

Well, I was looking for performance specs (perhaps specs is the wrong word).

 

Definitely looks better than in stock trim. If nothing else a supercharger should have been there from the get go - it might have peaked interest in the vehicle. I wonder what kind of sales projections there are for when they put in the 390HP LS2 and if chevy plans to bump up production at all. IT seems to me like the SSR isn't really even advertised as a fun car, and from what i've read it's somewhat yawn inspiring to drive. To date i have only seen 2 of them on the road.

 

I still think it's one of the ugliest trucks ever.

 

I'm not usually a huge fan of the look of the SSR, but that Blackbird is damn sexy. with all the carbon fiber accents, 20s on the front, 22s in the back set off by 15" brembos, I'd hit it

oh, and 425 hp from a factory supercharger under warrenty

 

You're probably in the minority on that one. Its based off the 1947-54 Advance Design Chevrolet truck series; which is one of the most beautiful trucks of all time. Here's a fine example of a 1951 five-window 3100... I used to have one that was Windsor Blue.

The SSR as amalgamation of the Advance Design Series merged into a modern day hot rod.

Here's another flavor, hot rodded.

for the past few days I've been seeing a red one drive by my school and I am really liking how it looks with the top up! I wish they offered a (lower cost) hardtop version

This one with the dark wheels just looks sick! I want one!

 

I'm the exact opposite lol.. the more I see it (especialy in person) the more I like it. And I hated it at first.

 

even with that much power, id STILL wouldnt want one

too damn ugly and goofy looking

 

I'm going to have to agree with Zack and say that the thing is still an ugly bastard. It just doesn't look right, to me anyway.
