While not all reviewers working for Consumer Reports are as good as explaining themselves as others, the point of this Chevrolet SS review does go across: it’s a four-door Corvette-sleeper…
It’s actually a fair point, since the SS is still a pretty simple car in terms of engineering and it uses the 6.2-liter LS3 V8 out of the C6 ‘Vette, plus its looks don’t immediately scream out performance, even if it has 420 hp and 563 Nm (or 415 lb-ft).
It’s the car you buy if you wanted a BMW M3 or Audi RS4, yet you feel like owning an American car is where it’s at… If you approach it that way and choose to ignore the kind of quality the Germans and Japanese are sporting these days, you’ll probably love it, until, that is, you realize it’s an Australian-built Holden Commodore with Chevy badges…
