This Year's Model Updates:

Big news for the SSR -- more power for 2005. Last year's 5.3-liter V8 is ditched in favor of a 6.0-liter aluminum engine with 390 hp. Newly optional this year is a six-speed manual Tremec transmission with an Eaton limited-slip differential. Other changes include a new CD/MP3 stereo and gas struts for the hood.

Pros:
  • Quick folding convertible hardtop, street rod style, aggressive exhaust note, comfortable seats.
Cons:
  • Seats only two and yet weighs nearly 5,000 pounds, costs almost as much as a Corvette.

  • Super Truck - 2005 Chevrolet SSR

    Got rid of a new T-Bird and Silverado Lt. This car/truck (A Corvette with a big trunk)is three in one. Sports car,truck, convertible. A real blast to drive, comfortable, fast, safe and useful. I havent been able to think of ways to personalize or improve other than needing some more interior storage. I love this truck.

    This is a well designed and well built muscle car for the new century. A sleeper at the stop light and a lightning bolt on the straightaway. Its not a "cop catcher" but it is an "eye catcher". Men and women of all ages love this car because it is fun and different from what you see all over the roads today. It has a little retro styling with all the best technology of today. Form and function in one cute little pick-up.

  • What a cool roadster - 2005 Chevrolet SSR

    Truly a unique vehicle. It will truly set you apart from the crowd. Although its usefulness is limited if you are looking for a truck, it really doesnt fall into that category. The lines and the throaty music of its V8 will surely inspire you. If you are looking for a classic mode of transportation, this car will surely be noted in classic car history.

    This truck is just as cool as my 48 pickup. Im glad I waited for the bigger motor. It is very comfortable to drive, great gas mileage, fun on short trips, and looks like it would be easy to modify.

  • WHAT A GREAT RIDE - 2005 Chevrolet SSR
    By -

    This is a real looker. It turns heads and you gets all kinds of questions at stoplights. Fun to drive, solid ride but smooth. wish it had a stick shift, sounds great. When the top is down it is the best looking car on the road.

    This is my second SSR. I love almost everything about the vehicle. Seat controls are tight between door. The retractable top is very convient and fast. Im a car nut, own six now, by far the SSR gets more attention than any vehicle Ive ever owned. Its unreal how many people (all ages)stop to look and ask questions. All comments positive, Ive never received a single negative comment. I cant wait to get my hands on the 454/425 Blackbird SSR. Where and how can I acquire one ? The 390 just isnt enough muscle for me. Im considering one of the new 500 hp ...... Corvettes. Chevy keep up the good work

  • Great Ride - 2005 Chevrolet SSR

    I always wanted a hot rod but I also wanted all the modern automobile technology. This is the first production vehicle that I enjoy driving as much as I do riding my Harley.
