The SSR is a true modern hot-rod. It is a whopping 6.0 liter V8 complete with navigation, and aluminum accents standard, you also get dual titanium exhaust out of the showroom. but there is a down side, how does 4500 pounds sound like?, yes though the truck puts out 450 horsepower, it weighs as much as a fully loaded workvan. With the option of traction control you can drift and slide in parking lots, or hang it all out on winding back country roads. This is a cool truck because Chevrolet only made 4000 a year for 3 years, making it a collectors item.

This 2005 SSR with the 6 Speed manual transmision is a blast to drive. The convertible top drops with only a touch of the button. The top drops into its own storage hidden between the seats and the cargo area. the top does not take up any room in the cargo area at all. Modern day muscle car

The first time I saw this car at the North American International Autoshow I thought "what an ugly car"... Years later I still feel the same way, when it's curb-side and the top is up. Top down on the road... it has to be one of the best cars I have driven even (Lotus, Ferarri, Corvette, Jeep, VW, Audi, BMW, Benz...) from say Kansas City to Detroit. This particular color always turns additional heads that the car alone doesn't (very few). I don't like the cheap plastic-y feel that Chevy did with the interior. I do like the sound system however. The trunk area is spacious but not huge. All in all I really do like this car. It's a great ride through the country or along a river during the warm months. The exhaust notes are particularly enjoyable late at night on winding roads.

This is a very nice truck (handles great/roomy interior) but it's definitely not for first time drivers. It can be a little hard to see around and has a couple more blind spots than a normal car or truck.
