Actually this is my favorite Chevette of all time. It was a Chevy engineering concept in the early '80s. According to GM sources at the time....it was something up their sleeve in case cars like Camaro were killed off by CAFE.

I think that engineering Chevette was totally cool. A couple of years later, Chevy built a 5 speed version that was even faster.....and cooler.

Wasn't there also an experimental V8 Citation around the same time? (At least that's how I remember it.)

I'd rather have a RWD Chevette than an Aveo or any 90s GM small car I can think of..

You know I really don't know what desturbs me more. The fact that there was a Chevette SS or the fact that people actually like the car enough to make a website about them.
