Test drive

Recommended Posts

I went at lunch today and test drove the new Chevy SSR. Man what a schweeeeeeet truck/car/roadster, or however you classify it. IF (huge word here) I was to buy one, it would have to be black. Couldn't find any decent photos on the web of a black one.

Lemme know what ya think :D

I personaly think Chevy has a hit on it's hands with this one. I just can't get past the sticker shock! $44k (one I tested) and the dealer could probably get 20% over sticker. It's limited production. I hope it goes into normal production so I could actually afford one :S

It's a sweet car/truck/whatever.

A buddy of mine who owns a Chevy dealership just bought the fist one ever produced for $350,000.

I can't believe he spent $350,000 just to have the serial number 001:S

Damn, that's a lot of money for an American car. I've had 2 Fords and will never drive American again. Mine goes in tonight to see why the engine stalls every time I take my foot off the gas.>:(

There is no comparing a "pony car" to the SSR it's not in the same class. I'm not looking at the preformance of the vehicle. Granted Ford has a great idea. Bring back the retro styling and beef the pref up. But, the SSR is a completely different type of vehicle.

Not to say the SSR doesn't have preformance.. with an aluminum-block Vortec 5300 V8 engine with 300 horsepower, ZQ8 Sport Suspension with a five-link layout for the rear and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.

No comparassion... B|

I love it!!!!
...and in BLUE!!! YES!:)(sticker shock???)
I Just got a 2004QUAD-HEMI *"Laramie Edition" /full loaded & leather &345HP. They ALL* go for $40,000.
As far as price:
The Chevy is AWESOME. It's a show car that you can buy off the lot. That's a beautiful thing in itself;)
I'll stare at it until next fallB| 'gotta be patient for a Chevy that nice.

I guess I can't complain much. I came home one day when I was 16 an had a new mustang waiting for me. Then before I went to college I came home one night again and it was gone to be replaced wtih an explorer. Of course I have made payments on them but not like I had a choice.

My dad sell a lot of stuff to GM and says Cadillac is their best line of cars along with the GMC's.

I'm with you. I've been given my two cars (nothing as sweet as a Mustang - I don't know about the Explorer though - weren't they rolling over ;)).

I fared out with a Toyota Tercel when I was 16 - a big hit w/ the hottie guys in HS ;). Then I got a very used Honda Prelude (great for a college girl - its gotta' sunroof). Then I got hit and ended up w/ a Mazda 636 (probably great for a soccer mom but I'm just not there yet). I'm still waiting for my Cadillac :( ....

I had a new mustang Convertable/Fla.(2weeks=interior fell in) & a LTD wagon in Pa. 4months and heads warped with coolant comming out of the tail pipe[:/]
I bought Volvo and Ford bought them.:|
I have to admit the 2005 Mustang will be "need" for alot of us "IF" it comes tob and doesn't do the "1st tear failure" thing.
If I really had any sense, I would own a 2nd Vovlo in my garage(I needed a 4door&4X4/truck)

Let you know what I think ?

Am I the only one that thinks this truck/car/sportster is Butt-UGLY ??

Reminds me of the Aztec.... something that should have been scrapped on the drawing table before it even went into production.

Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast!
Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool!
