Fireman31 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 The following pics were published in a Long Island fire service newspaper. The incident was handled by a neighboring fire department to mine, my stomach turned when I saw the photos, what a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually is says 260 HP Supercharged 2.0l, 5 Speed Trans, Unique Exterior and interior parts, performance 18" Michelin Pilot Sport rubber, and 4 wheel disc brakes, and enough suspension tuning (at the Nurburgring no less), to generate up to .86g of lateral grip. (Taken from 8/20/07 Autoweek. Either way, it's still UGLY!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rausche Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 How did the silvy go up in flames? It almost looks like something in the bed of the truck caught and went through the bed to the fuel tank... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rays B4U Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 well since we are on the topic here is another low blow I dunno I kind of like the looks of it, now if they'd convert it to rear wheel drive and drop in a 6.0, with a row your own tranny!

punkt71 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Id rather have whats left of that burned up Chevy than to drive a fckin HHR! Seriously.. is Chevy killin the SS name or what? What happened to SS standing for pure muscle and performance.... and even it meaning something called 'Super Sport' .... well, then again lets no forget that when the 'SS' package came out back in 1961 it was just an appearance package for the Impala, and not for performance.. than later in the 60's they made it a high performance package. Maybe they want to go back to the whole appearance package thing.. who knows.. They need to only keep the SS package for the Blue Devil, the new Camaro, the Silverado and TBSS (but either supercharge it or put an LS3 in it).. that should be the only current model Chevy's allowed to have an SS badge on it. Monte Carlos SS? Cobalt SS? Malibu SS? Impala SS? HHR SS? No thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte Carlos SS? Cobalt SS? Malibu SS? Impala SS? HHR SS? No thanks they made Monte Carlo SS way before a silverado SS, a malibu SS was made way back when, impala SS as well. and i do agree teh HHR and cobalt shouldnt have SS badges. i like silverado SS but lets face it...whats so special about one? they were made to be in the same category as the lightning and Srt-10. the SSS cant even come close to either one of the in stock form. back in 03 there were a few articles being done on what is considerd a SS. and then they ran a RCSB 5.3 silver and it walked the SSS. they referred to this truck as the real deal, hell even the 454SS were dogs of their time. yes the name is over used but lets be fair the SS was used on alot of things in the 60s/70s. some of the claimed SS vehicles would run circles around those older SS models including todays MCSS/ImpSS/BUSS SS shouldnt be on the corvette and the TBSS should be named something else. its bascially a rescaled Typhoon. give it a unique name instead of adding SS to it. if GM wanted a "muscle truck" then they should of used a RCSB 6sp or auto and 6.0. but instead they chose to build a 15s truck for 40k. the SSS is mainly a conversation piece in stock trim. has to many unessacary options for a performance vehicle.....hell they ruined a Z06... first Z was cheaper then the vette had less options and was soley a performance vehicle but those damm yuppies got involved..... if your looking for a perfomance vehicle your not looking for unneeded shit ok rant off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Taken from 8/20/07 Autoweek. Either way, it's still UGLY!!! i read today that it is the turbocharged 2.0 and its gonna have 260 hp with a 5 spd. you can also get a 4 spd auto but the power drops like 40 hp. chevy is actually gettin rid of the supercharger. thats why they stopped the cobalt ss supercharged. some emissions BS.
