So far there's the Silverado, Monte Carlo, Impala, Colbalt.

Comming soon: Malibu, Colorado, and Aveo (no, I'm not kidding).

I made it so you can choose more than 1.

 

I love the Silverado SS. I think its pretty funny when people think that all SS's should have V8's...but the only current SS that has a V8 is the one that most people don't think should be in production

Aveo SS...... Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...

 

I didnt mean to vote for the cobalt, ignore my vote, sorry

 

I dont think there should be a Malibu or Aveo SS. I think the Maxx should be like the G6 coupe and vert, and have the option of 3.5 or 3.9.
Aveo SS...I dont know. Aveo has that odd thing with it. IMO, I think they should put on the Daewoo nose as it would look better then the boring deal they got on now. But a turbo model with 16's with really good handling...I think it would be one hell of a ride. A real cult like car.

 

I'm with Al here. I think we would be much better off with Aveo SS (even though it sounds funny, and all...) than Malibu SS.

Hence, my vote for the Malibu.

I voted Silverado SS, Monte Carlo SS, and Malibu SS. Until GM actually builds a Super Sport version of each of these of course. Throw a Turbo on the AWD SS Silverado. At LEAST but the GTP S/C Engine in the Monte SS. The only Malibu SS I know of is about 30 years old.

I wouldn't mind at all seeing a FI Aveo SS.

 

It all depends on HP

-Silverado needs at least 390HP LS2
-Colorado needs a 350HP+ V8
-Impala and Monte need the LS4 V8 (which they are getting soon)
-Cobalt SS looks good for now, but will need a bump to 220-240HP in the comming years.
- Malibu needs a trubo or S/C V6 putting out 275HP
- Aveo SS should never happen unless it gets AWD and the LS2

 

All of 'em! If its not a MUSCLE CAR it doesn't deserve the SS designation. What makes the SS memorable is big motors. Not V6s or fours. My neighbor has a '66 Chevelle Super Sport with a 454 and a 4 speed and short gears, maybe 4.11s. It will smoke the tires all day long. Its fast and loud and rowdy and has the sort of outrageousness that defines the SS designation. Putting SS on econo cars and sedans and pickups (even though they may have performance upgrades) makes it nothing more than a marketing gimmick and detracts from its future value. These cars contribute as much to the SS legacy as the Mustang II did to the Mustang's.

 

Out of all of these.... maybe Chevy needs an Aveo SS the most. YES, you've heard me right!

We've just had a whole bunch of threads about how Chevy doesn't have anything fun and low buck. I'm thinking an Aveo SS with a SC 2.0L tuned for around 175 HP, for under $14K.

Compared to it, cross shoppers will think ..... Scion tC? Neat, but pricey and very slow.

How about SRT-4? Fast, but that's for rich boys.

You want to rebuild Chevy's affordable performance portfolio? Start with a potent and inexpensive Aveo SS.

 

I was against an Aveo SS before...but this all makes since, if they can do something like that, then I think they can have a winner on their hands

Also remember that in the early years of SS you could get it on V6 models...it was a trim and apperance package at first i believe.

 

I'm not against a perfformance Aveo, I just think Aveo Xtreme has a better ring to it than Aveo SS.

 

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't plunk down my hard earned money on ANY car on that list. Lame.

 

actually...none
all of them seem to fill some type of niche
if i had to choose, it might be either malibu or aveo
but i really think they all qualify

 

I say go big or go home.

An Aveo Xtreme could take on two forms.
1) A pretty cheesy appearance package...with no performance, ( MOST PROBABLE). Why bother?

or

2) One that's cheap and fast, and a spiritual successor to the Omni GLH....and would probably outperform most other SS's.

If Xtreme is just a BS package..don't even bother. If it really delivers the goods, just call it Aveo SS and start rebuilding Chevy's performance image from there.

Of course, if Chevy ever considered a 205 hp Aveo SS (I know I said 175, but I've changed my mind...give it the full boogey motor), those weenies at Pontiac would try to block it.

 

Your buddy's Chevelle didn't come from the factory with a 454, and I bet it wasn't even an SS from the factory either. He probably stuck those SS emblems on after he dropped in that 454. Rather than contributing to factory SS legacy....what your neighbor has is a homebuilt hotrod.

And BTW, regarding SS's that actually came from the factory.....

Nova SS
Chevelle SS
Impala SS

These were all "econo cars and sedans".
