Chevrolet SS Offers Underrated Gem for St. Louis Performance Car Fans

Well thought-out interior, V8 engine makes muscle car that adds sophistication to Chevy lineup

When one brings up Chevrolet and muscle cars and performance cars, it’s safe to say that one’s mind will immediately shift to a Camaro or Corvette — and rightly so. These two coupes have delighted Chevy fans for decades. However, one Chevy model manages to take the power of the 6.2-liter V8 and the class of an Impala to create the SS, an underestimated vehicle in Chevrolet’s garage.

Updates for the SS make it as close to a four-door Corvette as St. Louis Chevrolet fans will get. For a V8 enthusiast who loves a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive who still needs to drive the kids around, it doesn’t get much better than an SS.

Stylish interior

Chevrolet’s care and attention is evident once you’re behind the wheel of an SS. Premium materials and fully loaded equipment can be appreciated from any seat. The 4G LTE wifi connectivity is available on the SS, and the MyLink infotainment system offers functionality just like any other Chevrolet vehicle with it.

The Chevy SS offers more headroom and legroom than the competition’s performance sedans. A superb ride is comfortable thanks to an upgraded suspension set-up. Brembo brakes are standard. Chevrolet has even gone as far as to put the SS in the same class as the BMW 5 series, and Jim Butler Chevrolet would agree!

Powerful sedan

The V8 is certainly the biggest engine in a Chevrolet sedan to date, and those who own and drive the SS will understand. The SS harkens back to the days when the family sedan would have roaring V8s under the hood. The 6.2-liter V8 outputs 415 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque.

The SS makes the perfect vehicle choice for a performance enthusiast who also needs a sedan. Chevrolet’s 2015 SS makes a good compromise between cars found on the racetrack and those that are found on the grocery store parking lot. No matter why you buy an SS, one thing’s for sure — you’ll be driving one of the most sophisticated V8s around.
