I guess interest wasn't all they had hoped.

LOL

they sold out every GXP G8 imported within months of being released because they had an Australian version of an M5 on their hands, this new SS is trying to compete in a market that has had many years to catch up..

The Charger R/T is going to get destroyed by this car even WITH the 8 speed. The LX just cant match Zeta in driving dynamics.

What else is there? Yea, not much. Not everybody wants people to know that their car is fast (looking at you Charger SRT8) and lots like to have the extra utility that the sedan offers.

The best part? The SRT8 has a worse lb/hp than the SS so its probably going to be a straight up drivers race despite the SRT8 having lots more power yet it will des[CODE][/CODE]troy it on the curves. The SRT8 is quite literally a one trick pony where the SS can do it all.


As Fenwick said, you need to really research this crap before you post nonsense over and over again.
Lmao.. Wow , The SS or whatever you wanna call this rebadged plain looking thing. Chevy could've did way better but they know ppl like you will buy anything that's ugly. Put a V8
in a RWD sedan with a chevy badge and you think it's the best thing since slice bread. Please .... compare the car with in it's price range smart guy . The Srt8 charger is the only V8 charger that should be named and I'll love to see it go faster than the srt8. The only reason why the car is being made at a low volume is because they know looks sell and the charger is here to stay. They really cheaped it out on your Holden LOL ...oops I mean SS. Please.... now you do the research on the srt8 times . Then come talk. Pal !

Too bad the Dodge resale value is pretty much trash but sure don't consider that and there is nothing wrong with someone being brand loyal and liking the chevy ss I am sure at some point there will be a manual put in this car. Who cares that the SRT8 charger is faster it has more hp and tq. But there is always a faster car on the road stock or not. People can like what they like and let them its their money and opinion. Untill dodge gets their reliability ratings up id rather have a the chevy ss over the charger cause the charger is way to out there and LOOK AT ME OFFICER no matter what color your rocking. Chevy ss though not super aggressive but more refined looking will blend with traffic more but also be more rare car to see on the road.

Cause they are rated very poor in the problems per 100 car I think they were either bottom or near the bottom and that effects the resale value of the cars. IM not saying they are gonna fall apart and be unreliable you can find some pretty cheap used SRT cars and trucks for sale.

Oh dang , that's crazy. thanx! Evan though all the used new style Srt8's I've seen was still priced in the 40's. But I like the 2006 to 2010 chargers more because they look more muscular to me.

You're the last one who should be telling folks to do research considering you really don't know anything about these cars.

Just a suggestion: Try sitting in on a second grade English class. You might learn something. I'd pay close attention to the sections on grammar and sentence structure.

Maybe then you could form a cohesive argument instead of a jumble of random words.

GM possibly limiting the SS to around 2000 per year instead of the origionally projected 10000-15000
Well, autoblog is flat out wrong. GM wanted 5k a year. I have no idea where they got the 10-15k at.

There are 4 shipments scheduled for this year. 4 x 900 is 3600.

Again, you need to do some research. The SSV is the top of the line Commodore. It has the much firmer suspension and its completely loaded. I find it funny you tell me to do the research when all you do is piggyback off the other SRT8 cheerleaders. Sure, the cars might match up closish price wise and aside from the 1/4 time, the SRT8 has NOTHING on the SS. It STILL cant match the G8 GXP handling times from 4 years ago.

Don't forget to add the SRX and the ZL1 on your list of tanks too.
