SS video..........

---featuring the Lineup of SS models........

.......and the driving skills of the gang at Spring Mountain Motorsports park (Corvette, Cobalt SS/Cobalt SS Sedan, Monte SS) -- Kevin Kolvenback ("RagSS") in the Malibu SS, Janet Curran ("Forest Vu") in the MAXX SS, Tom Henry ("The lil weasel from Bakerstown") in the Impala, and yours truly in the TrailBlazer SS...........

Many thanks goes to the men and women at Spring Mountain Motorsports Park for their great hospitality and driving skills for making this video possible! Also to Gail & Rice and Dark Spark for a great job on the video itself.

Enjoy!

Kinda nice to see them putting more focus on performance, regardless if you agree with the "SS" placement. Still a great video. Can't wait to see what they will do for the next Camaro!

Re: SS video..........

Sounds awesome, but the video doesnt come up for me. I get a blank browser with "Bad Request" at the top. What format is it in?

Re: SS video..........

Cool video!

A Monte Carlo does over 150mph. The current Impala is the fastest Impala ever made! Trailblazer does 0-60 in under 5 seconds.

None of this should be surprizing, but when you actually see it in print, and actually think about it.... it's pretty mind blowing.

BTW: How did that Trailblazer SS lose the dirt it was covered with in the video? I don't think it can go so fast as to blow it all off.

Re: SS video..........

Where'd the 'Vette go?!?! I was expecting it to re-appear in the video, and blast its way from the back of the pack back to the front (just to remind everyone how blistering fast it is ).

That was really cool though!

I think you meant under 6 seconds? Otherwise that would be some stiff competition for us F-body guys and even the 'Vettes!!

Re: SS video..........

Very cool video I was expecting to see another car at first as well but, still a very cool video, though that Lazer Blue color ya'll got can look spectacular at some angles and at others look too purple.....

All we need is the Equinox, Silverado, Colorado, and Camaro SS to join in on the fun Also ya'll should try stuffing the 5.3 in the next Malibu SS I wonder how fast it would be then But thanks for sharing the video with us

Re: SS video..........

but when you look at it this way..the SS lineup..there is alot of performance cars Chevy is making..kinda sad the Monte Carlo and the Maxx will be out of that lineup soon, but hopefully the new verions and the newer cars will be there..
