Pretty sure I posted a few pages back sharing the road with one for a bit this past summer.

If you're looking for a mean style, the SS isn't for you. I thought initially it was a pimped out Malibu or Impala (the chevy logo the only reason I guessed such) until I looked at the size of the rear exhaust tips and realized it was a SS. It's very much a sleeper car. And so what, it kicks ass in all the important ways. Who cares what it looks like.

Called two dealers today hoping to order a 15 SS and got a load of BS... One wants to charge me 5k above the MSRP price, the other wants to "LOOK" for one... wtf?

It amazes me how hard it is to buy a car sometimes , some dealers act like they just do not want your money

It wouldn't surprise me if the dealers didn't have any clue as to what he was asking for.

"A Chevy SS? Why yes we have many Camaros in stock!"

They both know, one is just a crappy dealer that overcharges for every new car on the lot or ordered.

The other dealer had a 14 SS sitting on their lot for almost a year, and finally just sold it last month. I wouldn't have bought it because because I've been holding out for the 15's (manual trans)... I think maybe they don't want to order another one because the last one sat there for so long??

I bet Becky from Rodgers chevy would order you one in an instant. She'll mail it to your door when it arrives. Oregon is way over there.

Maybe they'll order it with your money when you're ready to pull the trigger.

Here is a review of the 2014 SS. They compare the SRT to it which isn't a fair comparison.




Here is their Charger SRT review. They are swaying me more toward the Charger but I just can't get over the concern of build quality and shortcuts for cost.

Dodge put cup holders in the engine bay.
Lawn Chairs, Garage, Beer, Radio, Beer Cooler, Night, Buddies. Fart. You get the scene.

Dodge has been putting a place to put your beer in the engine bay for 60 years.
