Look at the MPH though. With good enough traction, that's anywhere from 12.9-13.3.

Nice. I feel bad for the owners of the original SSR's!

I don't know, the truck doesn't excite me, but I don't think it's bad at all. At least the thing has a V8 and RWD to start. That's all one REALLY needs. Any competant motorhead can take care of the rest.

I've seen weight ratings of 4700+lbs and 4900+lbs for this thing. The thing doesnt even come wit ha spare tire!

I would buy a Neon SRT-4 way before I'd buy an SSR.

Chevy needs to make a performance market for us 20-30 year old guys, other than the Sunfire GT or Colorado Sport.

Like a Reg Cab Silverado SS. The baby boomers need to hurry and die off, so we can get what we want.
