My New 2015 Chevy SS **Boo-Hissss**

[SHO-Time]

That yellow C6 Z51 Vette is actually my mother-inlaw's LOL! Her winter car is a Trailblazer SS

I'm actually not sure which GoPro it is...I'm still waiting for it. The dealership had a max value of $129.00 on it, so I'm sure it's a 1st or 2nd gen GoPro.

I'll take an SS in white w/ a sunroof please.............don't need AWD in Texas!!

The TBSS is a nice winter ride in place of a corvette. Its about as close to one as you can have when you have bad weather.


I would take the Jeep SRT over the TBSS.

Really nice ride there for sure!  I just couldn't swing paying the asking price for the SS but I do like the car a LOT.  It just makes me miss my TBSS that I traded in for the SHO.  I DO NOT miss the piss poor mileage though...

Enjoy the new ride!

I do a lot of highway commuting and the mileage not toooo far off of the SHO. That being said, I haven't really tested the mileage  cause I've had my foot into the gas quite a bit recently. I told many dealers to go F themselves with their pricing. It took a little while to find one that was willing to deal.

That interior is super nice. Chevy did a really nice job on the interior. I really like the color. It reminds me of the S10 I had in electric blue.

Great looking ride man!

Be sure to keep us up to date even though it's not ecoboosted.

What's also interesting is the 6-speed manual does not get hit with the $1,300.00 gas guzzler tax like the auto does, however C&D got worse gas mileage in the manual. The manual offers a "skip shift" feature that improves mileage by a 1-2 mpgs. There are guys running sub 13 sec 1/4s with the manuals but it's all within margin of error.

Is the SS loaded up?  HIDs, LEDs, remote start, heated steering wheel, cooled seats, etc?
