Representing the glorious swansong of Australian car manufacturing before Holden's factory closures, the 2016-2017 Chevrolet SS received functional bonnet vents, an aggressive front bumper with LED running lights, and standard dual-mode exhaust. As a rear-wheel-drive performance saloon housing a muscular naturally aspirated V8, it stands alongside icons like the Australian Ford Falcon XR8. Comprehensive and rigorous Chevrolet SS maintenance is vital to preserve this future collector's item in flawless mechanical condition.
The 415 hp 6.2-litre LS3 V8 engine remains uncompromised, paired with standard Magnetic Ride Control dampers and available with either the six-speed automatic or the coveted Tremec manual gearbox. The adaptive magnetorheological dampers deliver an incredible breadth of capability, but replacement units are costly, making regular inspection of damper seals imperative. Furthermore, Brembo brakes on all four corners, a mechanical limited-slip differential, and 19-inch alloy wheels demand top-tier consumable parts.
