German import with clean simple styling?Originally Posted by ClothSeats View Post
It's only some crappy wheels away from looking like a Malibu. I've heard a few though and they sound great, even under part throttle.
Oh yes... I love this phenomenon.
It's timeless and classic.
Asian or American with clean simple styling?
It's bland and boring.
Proceed with the hilarity.
I think that's part of the appeal, a plain-ish looking car with great proportions. Audi does the same thing with great success, and I think GM did an awesome job with the SS. I wouldn't hate less chrome, but it seems to work to really identify it as an American car.
This is also a common issue with the Germans- all the sedans look like the base compact sedan.
Anybody that claims that gets dog-piled for lacking the eyesight to see the nuances....
And let's be honest, the SS is clearly NOT a Malibu.
Do you really have trouble with this?
Repair costs on this car are nominal compared to pretty much anything in its class. After spending just under $600 for a BATTERY CHANGE on my BMW I definitely am more sensitive to maintenance and repair costs.
An E63 AMG might be an awesome alternative and a used version similarly priced, but I guarantee even my pocketbook would feel some major pains if that motor let go on a track day. LS3 blows? First thought would be upgraded crate motor and I'd have a host of reasonably priced sources to shop from.
Wait for it...$600 for a battery change? How? Did they change it 4 times??
WATIf it's like my last 335i the car has to be programmed to recognize the new battery. I had the same problem with a dead battery and decided to change it my self and the car would still not start because the dealer needs to let the ECU know the car has a new battery. I had to have it towed to the dealer and when all was done nearly 250 bucks.
Of course it was awesome.I'm so glad the idiot troll has spoken.Originally Posted by Racinger View Post
Yup.
The Chevy SS looks and drives like a rental car with an ancient V8 stuck in it. Pass.
Because guess what?
I just happened to drive one, with 6MT and magneride this afternoon. You could not be farther from the truth. Have fun jerking off to your crappy little VWs, or whatever you fawn over. You don't have a clue as to what a real vehicle can be.
For the actual members in this thread reading this - I'm really serious, I just drove one. Please, do yourself a favor and do so if any 6MTs are in your area. It's a fantastic car. Steering is precise, interior is plush, power EVERYWHERE in the rev range. The only problem is, now I can't come up with any excuses for not buying one.
Do want.And the best part? It's not nearly as big as I thought it would be. It's only 4 inches longer than my wife's Mazda6. Definitely doesn't feel like a 4,000 lb car when going around turns, either.
