It's interesting that a guy who mods/upgrades just about every sports car out there, and makes his own supercar, owns an SS himself--and obviously loves it. That really says a lot. Great commercial for the car.

[@alextaylor29]

It's the ultimate sleeper car. Reminds me of my old E55 AMG, cops would never look at it despite me modifying it to over 700 HP. :D

[@jsellman2703]

I'm saving my money to buy a SS now and its coming to you once I get it

[@darylhedge8764]

It's actually from Australia originally it's called a SS Commodore they have been a stable mate in the Australian touring car championships for 30 plus years . sad that they only just moved into the American market as they have just discontinued them sad day really

[@michaelallnitewhite626]

Chevy needs a sporty street car other than the Vette and the Camaro what about an Impala SS......AWD not that hard to build with V6 turbo power and a V8 supercharged version.

[@camarols3933]

I want this for my next car.. Basically a 4-door Camaro.. Whats not to love??

[@vernonprice5986]

Kind of. If anything it might be a 4 door gen 5 Camaro, because it's on the Zeta platform. It's not based on the Alpha platform like the gen 6 Camaro.

[@pblackjac]

43 thousand for an SS? You guys got it good down there. Dealerships in the northeast are trying to get that price for a used one.

[@stephenn6657]

Chevy should have snuck a few LT4's in them. And not tell the press. Just adjust the price for the upgrade.

[@DylanFrom313]

Looking to get my hands on a Manual SS up here in Detroit John!

[@MaxxedOutTV]

shit I ad no idea the SS came in manual!!!!!

[@revengeoftupacshakur981]

hopefully this means the Impala SS is coming back

[@ericinfante624]

does anyone know it's 0-60mph with that setup?

[@brodiepatullo5469]

Take the chev badge off and put the Holden badge back on

[@7071t6]

@ the 3:50 mark listen real good those business that try to sell exhaust and tune packages, when he did this Ss with 650 HP and stock as a rack exhaust system?
So now you can get a Camaro 1LE with 650HP for 65K, so either buy a SS and get a supercharger put on or buy from the factory a camaro with supercharger ? Also downunder the camaro is 100K and no supercharger at all ?

[@kawasabi1]

Awesome car! Little constructive criticism about public speaking, keep those hands neutral don't swing them around.

[@HennesseyPerformanceF5]

Good point and thank you!

[@johnmoore9809]

Y'all should upgrade my 2013 Malibu lt

[@tylercouture216]

And this has no lift shift

[@jeepbme]

You could buy a ZL1 for 65k and have 650/650 from the factory

[@reyesjose214]

i could of got it but they wanted 1000 for my 09 malibu 😢😢
