i dont think the arguement is that ss badges should only be on camaros, its more of how chevy is ruining the name by putting it on slow *** cobalts....

I agree Chevy shoudnt put ss badges on anything thats not a V8. They should do it like in the 90's like when they had that souped up v6 for the cavalier and called it a z24 and not ss. I also like it when they made the 94-96 impala ss and the 93-95 Chevy 454 SS truck now those represent SS.

I understand where this guy is coming from. GM has drug the SS badging through the dirt, seriously what model GM car doesnt have an SS option package. Wouldnt surprise me if they come out with an Aveo SS or something. GM's car line has dropped right off in the ******* IMO, besides trucks, big suv's, and the corvette i wouldnt consider buying anything from them haha that is another story though. /rant

i know what u mean (thread starter) chevy has done the SS name wrong, no it was not just put on camaros, but it was ut on chevelles, V8 impalas, 454ci trucks, things that were fast and tough, now SS is diff rims and some side molding, BS!
i sometimes wish i had a Z-28, i dont know why but i feel you can do more to change the apperance on a Z than an SS, for instance the whole thing with the retro badging, those badges are freaking sweet!
change it if you want, but change it completely, dont have the SS hood for one. get a cowl hood or stock Z28 hood. then get the retro badges. it will look sweet!

Black Z/28

When SLP first started making the SS didn't they literally tear off the Z28 badges and replace them with SS badges?

Anyway, stick with the SS badges or maybe go with a Z28/SS badge. That might be cool. Or even better, stick a couple of these on your car:



I wonder how many people know what SS stands for?

on this site prolly %99.9 of the people do... but the general non car loving population most likely has no clue....

for the cobalt it means super slow, or simply stupid, or severly slow

WTF do you care what we think. If your gonna do it, do it. It REALLY doesn't matter. It's not like your pulling the V8 out and replacing it w/ a V6 but hey, you know what? If you did you could put the c a m a r o emblems on instead!

I agree. Here's some trivia for ya'll, the first year for the production Super Sport option was available on the Impala in 1961. For you younger dudes, here's a pic of what one of those cars look like.
(Sorry for the small pic, it was all I could find at the moment.)





1961 would be the year that the first true muscle car was introduced, the Chevrolet Impala SS. This would also be the year that Chevrolet introduced its 409 cubic inch V8, the engine that would launch the Big Three auto manufacturers into the horsepower race that would last well into the 1970s. The 409 was actually a response to Ford’s new 390 cid engine, which was outperforming Chevy’s on the dragstrip. Although it put out “only” 360 bhp compared to Ford’s top 375 bhp, those extra 19 cid gave it respect on the street and immortalized in song (“She’s really fine, my 409”). Chevrolet introduced the Super Sport (SS) option package, which was optional on the 348 and standard with the 409, which would define Chevrolet performance for many years to come. The Super Sport package, a bargain at just $53.80, consisted of special body and interior trim, power steering, power brakes with sintered metallic linings, full wheel covers with a three blade spinner, a passenger grab bar, a console for the floor shift, and a tachometer on the steering column. The 409 engine came only with the four-speed manual transmission and only one factory axle ratio. Lower axle ratios were available from the dealer and owners could see ¼-mile times in the high 15s, which was pretty impressive in 1961. Unfortunately, the 409 already came with 11.25 compression and a four barrel carburetor, and due to its wedge shaped combustion chambers was not very easy to improve performance further. But no matter. Although only 142 Impala SS 409s were built in 1961 (and most went to good customers that would run them at the local dragstrips), the legend was born and the horsepower race was on.
