Just wondering if anyone has any info on this... the SSR seemed really cool, and there seemed to be a lot of excited people before they came out, but I see maybe one on the road a month. Their sales seem to have gone over like a turd in a punchbowl. What happened? Nobody likes them?

My opinion is there ugly, over priced, very unpractical. At least when you buy a Corvette it handels like its on rails and when you snap the throttle it hauls ass. When you buy a truck you can haul more than a bag of groceries.

They are ugly
Wow... I never thought they were ugly; they're styled after the 49-52 pickup. Of course we had a restored '51 pickup when I was little, so I may be biased

I like the SSR but it's more of an old man's truck since it's a two seater. Us family people can't own something that only seats two.

'01 gmc twins 6.0 jakes 400 ladder bars w/ coilovers tuned by nelson performance
This was like the one we had when I was little, but it had a navy blue body with silver fenders
and this is the SSR, which I think looks a heck of a lot like the 51 we had, but you can see why I had fond memories of the 51

I say ... ditch the convertible idea and use the bed as a truck bed w/tonneau and then maybe it'll sell.Originally posted by BlenderWizard@Oct 15 2005, 12:28 PM

Nope, it's got the 6.0. GM, for the past 50 years, has had sort of an unwritten rule that they are not supposed to make a car that is as fast as the Vette. So, the 7.0 will prolly not make it into anything else.
