I agree. The red plush interior looks like a bad 1980s movie. But in it's day it was a hot setup.

Yes, we discovered the SSR loves oldies... :lol: It just seems to run better...
Me too. :lol:
Reminds me of when I taught her how to drive my new, yes new, 1970 Mustang w/ 351 Cleveland engine and Hurst 4 speed. I said "just rev it up and pop the clutch." She did and we still...
We get lots of "thumbs ups". :lol:
How many guys have a wife who LOVES his truck? I am blessed!
(she hated my last two.)

Shedding some weight should help a lot. They say every hundred pounds you drop is a tenth of a second in the quarter mile. Would be less in the eighth of course.
And leave the tailgate up - down...
Yeah, we're thinking alike. Had a nibble on the Dodge tonite - a mom may buy it for her son - full asking price. Wouldn't that be sweet!
We'll see - money talks, you know the rest...:lol:
Thanks, Moze. I'll def talk to him.
Here's an outline of my plan - your thoughts and suggestions are welcome. As I did on my Dodge Cummins project, I want to do some basic research on parts and...
Thanks for all the advice, guys. I wasn't planning to do much too it until I learned how relatively inexpensive it can be.
I'll definitely be "turning up the wick" on the SSR. :lol:
Thanks, all!
Not sure of net weight but GVW is 6050 lbs.
Thanks, Moze. I def will. I heard tonight of 2 different guys with serious cash to buy my hot rod diesel, so I may have some "fun money" for the SSR.
Back to my original question, can you guys who recommended upgrades tell me recommended sources and possible price ranges? I need to spend my money on paper first, and hopefully only spend it once,...
That would be us, except I don't smoke... :lol:
Thanks all. yeah, I've been plugged into SSR Fanatics.com. Seems like a knowledgeable dedicated group of SSR folks. Anyone knowof any local SSR groups?
Back to my original question, can you guys...
Thanks, guys. I should have mentioned it has a Magnaflow exhaust already - that explains the badass sounds. :lol:
How about suggested sources for the above mentioned items?
I just picked up an '05 SSR w/ the LS2 engine. What do you guys recommend as beginning steps to upping the HP?
I'd like to dyno it to get a baseline, but the engine is rated at 390HP with the...
Thanks, guys. I'm more than a little excited about this truck. I'm looking forward to bringing it out to one of your events.
There seems to be plenty of room under the hood for...
Hey, guys. I've been AWOL for awhile, but I'm back with a new ride - a black '05 Chevy SSR.
After a day of guessing on FB and other forums about what I bought and some pretty sharp guessers, I...
Looks great, Moze. Wifey is a lucky lady...
Thanks, and you're right. Shooting Moze's truck is like shooting beautiful girls - hard to get a bad shot.
Being a black truck it had a few bugs and numerous paint chips on the front. No big deal...
Thanks for the props, guys. We can shoot clean trucks in any setting; "not so clean" trucks look good in what I call "urban grunge" - back alley stuff. And Photoshop does wonders for imperfections -...
Glad you guys enjoy the posters. Anyone wanting something like these, just call - number is in my sig. Thx! :)
You guys crack me up. Great truck, Moze. Love the battery box! :)
I vote nitrous. Love it on my truck!
I drove thru there before SAR. Lots of rice - didn't stop. Even the pickups had underglow...
