About the Chevrolet SS
The Chevrolet SS was a short-lived performance flagship that brought the Australian Holden Commodore VF to American shores. For the 2015 model year, it received its most significant mechanical updates, including the addition of a Tremec six-speed manual transmission and standard Magnetic Ride Control. Powered by the legendary 6.2-litre LS3 V8, it offers a pure rear-drive experience with a level of chassis sophistication that rivals European sport sedans. Its understated styling makes it one of the greatest 'sleepers' of the modern era, prized by collectors for its rarity and mechanical honesty.
