The SS coming back after 80 mph? Please thats when the hemi really gets to running good.

Maybe not as well, it seems. Same as people saying that the SRT would kill the lowly SS around a track, because well its an SRT the performance arm. It turns out that the SS does kill the SRT around a track.

I could car less about the track. But straight line i would run any stock SS against my 392 and i promise you i would be car lengths out on that SS. 45k is way to much for a car with the old ls3 in it. If it had the lt1 i could see that price tag. But when i can buy a new 392 cheaper have more power a lot better looking car. Whats the point of this car lol. Guess it would be a good run against the 6.1 hemi or the SHO

The point of the SS is the person that wants it all, gobs of power from a small block chevy, gorgeous interior, tons of options that come standard, etc. We all know how the LS3 responds to some mods.. if your into that kind of thing.

This is the kind of car that the boss drives, or my dad.

The 300 is played out and lots of people still steer clear of that platform, myself included.

I would love a Chevrolet SS.

You have to be kidding lol played out? I'm on my second SRT car and they are far from played out. When these cars get the 8spd gonna be one hell of a car. This car has nothing to show for its 45k price tag.

What's the point of a car that outperforms a car that's $10k+ more in a majority of performance tests and competes in the same market niche? Well, I'd say bang for the buck without compromise...

If you'd rather pay for a car that's $10k more for .1 faster in the 1/4 mile, you're the purest form of a fool.

Do you really think this platform will have an LS3 in a few years? (which is still a phenomenal engine, btw) I'd bet money that it won't. They're introducing it into the market now to get the name out, kinks reworked, ect before this platform inevitably gets the Gen5 LT1, which will flat out embarrass Chrysler. (Kind of like the new Viper compared to the new Z06. The Z06 is cheaper and better in every way).

And for the record, 300's are played out. Everybody in the ghetto can afford them now.

I can buy a 392 charger new for low 40s loaded out. For 60k i can buy a V or Amg and make both look stupid. And 110 mph traps speeds for a 392 lol? Most guys are around the 114 mph area like mine ran bone stock. Some even 115 mph this car will not last just like the G8s didn't. And if i remember this car only ran 117mph with a blower wow I can do that with bolt ons.

Wowzers guy...

First off....So for low 40's (around the same price as the SS Sedan) you can get the 392 Charger that rides on the same platform as the 300. AKA...the same 300 that they tested above and the SS beat in nearly every category? So your defense is you can buy a car for around the same price that's still worse than the SS with all categories of performance encompassed? (actually a bare bones SRT superbee is $44k, a regular base SRT runs $48k+ in reality...a "loaded out" SRT8 would easily tip $50k whereas everything on the SS Sedan is basically standard besides the sunroof).

Second off...You're not buying a new CTS-V or any AMG for $60k. Comparing used cars to new cars is a waste of everyones time. Why not buy a $1,000 Ford Festiva and put $59k into it? It'd be way faster. Derp derp. Stupid argument that doesn't belong in this thread that's based on new car comparisons.

Lastly...magazines rarely set world record passes in the cars they test. More so than anything, they are used to compare two cars in the same conditions. This probably isn't a world record Sedan SS run either. This argument is also pretty much null and void. There's plenty of stock G8 GXP guys into the 12's as well in case you were wondering.


And the G8 went under because Pontiac got the axe, not because the G8 specifically was a bad car... some people.

So should this be 3-0 defeat for Chrystler? Two countries, three different publications, all saying the same thing. I dont think bias is the reason the SRT8 is loosing.

Brand loyal at it's finest . 392s have ran low 12s in stock form your SS will still be running high 12s at best and maybe a 112 mph trap if its lucky.

The SRT 300C may be faster in acceleration than the SS, but it's considerably behind in every single other category, including its track time as mentioned in the article. And it's $1000 more expensive. Out of the two, the SS is clearly the better car. I like the SRT 300 but between this and an SS/SS-V I'd much rather have the latter.

Lmfao! Look at yourself dude. The Sedan SS is better in almost every way, and you're calling other people nutswingers for liking it? lol. Stop trolling

Yeah and the G8's were supposed to be better than the 6.1 hemi cars. Look what happened to it couldn't sell them turds lmao.

EmlG8

This guy is hilarious. Having a debate with this dude is a waste of breath. You sound a little confused bub. Catch up on your facts before you make assumptions you CAN'T support. I'll choose my G8 over the shoe box you've defended so profusely.

Srt8 is a beast. I wish the SS had the new lt1 in it

OneSlowV

If it had the LT1 in it i could see the 45k price tag. But not for 415 hp

Wolfsblut

45k is a pretty good price, comparing to other, similar offers, I don't get the price bitching...
