So, the Chevrolet SS might not be the most popular model of its range, but this doesn’t mean that it’s not a great package.
Powered by a 425hp 6.2-litre V8, the SS is essentially the E39 M5 of today, offering even the choice of a manual gearbox. The slow sales is sad news but at least most of the owners know why they bought it and that always deserves a thumbs-up when you see one on the road.
And of course Hennessey would offer a tuning solution for it, the SS practically begs for a supercharger. So here it is, a Chevy SS with the HPE600 package on it and a manual gearbox.
John Hennessey himself talks us through the car and unveils that he also had an SS as his personal ride, which gives the big sedan an extra badge of honor if you needed one.
We need more honest V8 cars like the SS.
