There are many car companies out there that offer sports sedans. You get the power and handling of a sports car with the conveniences of a four door sedan. But some sports sedans are either too sporty or are not sporty enough. The Chevrolet SS is something that has got both sides spot on.
Being a Chevy, you get plenty of cool gadgets, like the head-up display that shows you your speed. You even get lane departure warning that starts shouting at you if you swerve off you lane or if a car cuts you off. But the thing that makes this car really surprising is what lays underneath the hood. With the 6.2L V8 from the Corvette Stingray giving the car 415-hp, you get a surprising 0-60 mph time of just 4.4 seconds. You also get Brembo brakes, so this cars stops just as quick as it takes off. Being the V8 from the Corvette, it has a great sounding noise. But it's quiet enough that it doesn't cause your ears to bleed every time you put your foot down.
It seems that there is now a new contender in the field of sports sedans and it's not going down without a fight. After driving many different sports sedans out there, it's nice to see a four door car that feels more like a sports car but is able to go back to being a regular four door car when it wants to.
