I like sporty looking sedans, I like manual, I like RWD, and I like V8s, especially ones that can make a lot of power with little money. Tell me /O/, why should I not get a Chevy SS?

You can get it with a stick, chief.

Takata deathbags?
Or the GM suicide ignition switch?

it's minor seatbelt tensioner issues and wiper blade problems you dumbasses
>>17440755
did i ever bring price up you dipfuck, it is also cheaper and has minor issues that may or may not occur
>>17440755
Cars are being recall for minor stuffs all over, just look at Toyota. Manufacteurs just want to make sure everything it's fine.
>>17440776
how is it russian roulette because the seatbelt maybe won't tighten? I see that you are actually a tumor to this board, do you even have a car?
>>17440801
that's rad actually, why do you hate gm if you have a squarebody
too bad the pontiac g8 isnt still around. thats a really decent car, even if it is pigfat
>>17440681
isn't the Chevy SS just a camaro frame with a malibu body around it?
>>17440712
That is why I want it...
>>17440681
The reason why this car is trash is the same reason why the 6 cylinder genesis is trash. On paper, it has the right specs, but the final product is just a sort of mish mash of parts from other models and is put together without any regard for overall "driving feel" - if that makes any sense.
>>17440884
What car should I get instead? Also I didn't plan on leaving it stock, which is why I was looking at this car. You can get 600whp pretty easily from this car with no forced induction.
>>17440900
You can find used Cadillac CTS, Pontiac G8 or something like that
For that price, get a Challenger 392. Or a used Hellcat.

If you are planning on modding, you are good to go. The magna ride suspension is great. The engine just feels a little softer than the unit in the Camaro. Easily fixed.
>>17440681
there is no reason not to get it, it's a great car
>>17440906
I looked at the CTS-V, but imo they look ugly except or the 2016 model, which isn't exactly cheap.
>>17440912
Yeah, I have heard good things about the suspension. And since the tranny can handle 600 lb.-ft. of torque (people say it is underrated) and it comes with an LS3, I figured it would be a perfect car for what I want.
>>17440917
you dislike all the years except the 2016?
How about the pontiac G8?
>>17440900
you are telling me you can take the 6.2 L V8 in the SS and add roughly 200+ HP via "simple mods" easy?
I call fucking BULL SHIT

>paying $20k for a 10 year old GM sedan
You can get V8 chargers from 2015 for roughly the same price with very low mileage while crushing a G8 GT in every category
>>17440964
I don't know if they make chargers in manual
>>17440946
I never said simple. I just said relatively inexpensive.
>>17440940
Pretty much. I forgot about the G8. But I also like the idea of having a car with low miles. But I will look more into them and see what I think.
Look, the SS is a fine car if all you're looking for is a fat comfy bruiser. It's not a corner carver and nor is it particularly rewarding to toss around - but it does have a 4.5 second 0-60 time and you'll feel like a hero when you mash your foot into the gas pedal. It's also a 4 door sedan and is relatively practical... minus the amount of gas guzzeled.
That gas usage is pretty ridiculous and the car itself is still relatively expensive, plus manuals are rare - the only thing against the SS is that there are other cars that you can get that are better at different things. but might not be as practical. Like a C6 Z06 can be cheaper, faster, way better handling... but 2 seats. You could get an SRT Charger for much less for a V8 sedan, but shittier interior and ultimately not as fast. If we're talking new-ish prices, you can get a Focus RS, a lightly used M3.... etc.

That's not right Bro. You can get closer to 500rwhp without forced induction. But even a basic blower will give you the 600 you want.
>>17440884
It's highly regarded by every reviewer.
>>17441027
You can get there with a top end kit and new cylinders.
>>17441005
Gas isn't an issue. I drive a Ford Ranger and get 16 if I am careful. Most of the time I get 13-14. And I will have a motorcycle to put around town with.
>>17441022
The XJ looks like and old people car.
