Can the SS be upgraded ? not sure GM will even try on this one they are so far behind on 4 door sedans.
SS sedan with LSA will probably be their answer since starting in 2015 the mag ride will be standard on it and they will offer a manual transmission. I do agree though their sedan section is always a little behind the competition.

If FI makes it into the SS I bet it will be the LT4, not the LSA

There is no SS offered in Canada so that is one reason that GM is way behind on this, GM does not have a horse in this race.

Holden has said it will end production of the Commodore in 2016.

Your opinion. I love the new Dodge interiors across the board. The interior is the only thing I don't like about my Camaro.

and it (SS) will then be produced on a new platform in the US. The current SS platform is old.

Heat is on the CTS-V

I just realized that I will get dusted by a four door charger now. It was bad enough knowing that the Challenger could clean my clock.

The Z06 specs are out. It is rated at 650/650 from a 6.2L engine with a 5yr/100k mile warranty. A 7-speed manual with rev-matching or an 8-speed auto. It has 4 modes as well to adjust the car for different needs. There is no track times or 0-60's to compare.

It will be interesting to see Ford's reaction.
Not concerned with HP numbers. I was wondering about 0-60, 1/4 mile, and top speed info. No doubt the Z06 will trounce it on the track but I would be interested in all the rest.

Neither am I, just sharing what we know so far. Yea should be fun. I am sure GM is laughing in their seats at all this.
