Chevrolet SS… Thoughts?

Buddy did exactly that when he bought his (got the 20% off). Still has it and has visually tweaked it a bit.
That is a great looking SS. I love it bathed in white! Awesome wheels showcasing the red calipers. Heavily tinted windows round out the exterior. Very nice!
I agree they are cool cars. If you get one I recommend getting the manual version. My friend had an 06 with an auto , and nothing but transmission problems at stock power level.

Wow,
They were lucky to find 20% off...
Back then, I only seemed to find Black & Auto ones to be discounted at all.
Came across literally only TWO that got my attention:
BOTH w/ manual 6-speed and in the Copper & Wild-Green colors.... where I was ready to throw-money-at...
BUT both dealers stuck to their guns and wanted MSRP.
Wasn't worth it to me then.... oh well.
For me, I looked at these as Corvettes w/ four doors, a backseat plus trunk-space!
Thought about a mild supercharger upgrade to boot.

There's a few I've seen that look sharp with the Aussie Holden badging versus the original "SS" logo.
Me too man...i always liked them!
Id like with an A4...then well ya know lol
Yes and no. I had a G8 GXP and the SS was almost better in every way. More refined, nicer, etc.
I’m either going to build my Town Car with the spare parts I have around from my 2V build I wanted to do with my old 2001 GT…or find an 05-06 GTO 6M. Still undecided…
Now that I’ve learned that my next car purchase has turned into a wild goose chase. It might be an easier reason for me to get into an SS.
CTSV V2’s (2009-2015)are the better choice IMO. Same size, nicer interior and far better performance for the same price!
Didn’t they have some sort of cooling issues with the supercharger? My buddy had one, I think they covered it under warranty.
My neighbor has one. Looks so bland. The Holden was a much better looking vehicle
For whatever reason I like them. There is a nice 04 blue one with a magnuson blower on it that does to all the cruises in my area.
Though it’s not the 05-06, I still like it a lot. They aren’t the spiciest car out there but I like them for some reason.
The intercooler bricks are weak, so most people reinforce them.
I had an 2011 for 3 years, would still have it if I didn’t get hit, and it was an amazing car. Had a few mods (pulley, tune, E85 & headers) and it still drove like stock unless you got into it. Really comfortable and reliable.
Bought it for $35k with 22,000, sold it for $35k with 55,000 (repaired)
I gotta disagree here. My brother had a 2009 V and I was close to selling the SS for it when he was trying to sell it. But after driving it home from Maryland to St. Louis, the SS was more comfortable, and interior is nicer and has more bells and whistles. From a moddable standpoint though and going fast, V all day though. I couldn’t get over the datedness the V’s interior felt though compared to the SS. Interior space is smaller in the V too.
Really clean for sure man. I love it.The intercooler bricks are weak, so most people reinforce them.

Smidge ot, but years ago my buddy was looking at an used but clean LS2 GTO and a 08 Mustang GT(new) for around the same price.
Told him he was crazy going for the GT over the GTO. Had nothing but issues with the Mustang to boot.
