Everyone assumes that SS stands for SuperSport, but GM never made the connection. A small and meaningless bit of trivia, which I suppose is exactly what trivia is supposed to be, so there it is.

doesn't chevy have their own race teams though? I'm not really a race fan so im pretty oblivious lol
anyway thanks
Pictures really don't do these cars justice though. Seeing it in person it always a lot better. Anyone who has one will agree.

awesome !
very very good picture, well done, good location choice, lighting, pose, clean pavement surface, non-distracting surroundings, cant find anything to complain about there!
plus, that is virtually identical to the SS I "want" to get,
as soon as my dealer can get me one.
Would you by any chance have a larger ( original size maybe) version that I could use for a desktop wallpaper for my home and work computers ?
except then I would just constantly stare and never get any work done from daydreaming..

I do have a larger version. If you want, you can send me a message on AIM (Horision)
and i'll resize it to your desktop resolution and send it to you.
I'm glad you liked the picture
