More details emerge about the SS

            Chevy just recently announced more details about the SS set to hit showroom floors this fall.  For the first time in almost 20 years, Chevy is returning to the rear wheel drive performance sedan.  The SS will be powered by a 415hp, 6.2L V-8.  Performance with that motor and car will put 0-60 in
the five second range.  The transmission will only be an automatic, but it can be shifted thanks to shifting paddles on the steering wheel. Chevy does promise near 50/50 weight distribution so driving the new car should be a lot of fun and handle well.  The SS will be available in five colors, Mystic Green, Silver Ice Metallic, Red Hot 2, Phantom Black Metallic, and Heron White and the interior will only be offered in jet black.

            Only one model of the SS will be offered but it will come standard with features such as MyLink, touch screen panel, a Bose premium audio system with satellite radio, a color head-up display, heated and ventilated front seats, a rearview camera with rear-park assist, blind-spot alert and lane-departure warning, and keyless entry with push-button start. The only two options that will be available for the car is a power sunroof for $900 and a full-size spare tire for $500.

            What will the Chevy SS cost with the big motor in it, and all the features that come with it? A modest $44,470.
