Talk:Super Sport (Chevrolet)

Latest comment: 1 year ago by Wtmitchell in topic 1963 and Corvair SS

This statement is incorrect:

In some years prior to 1969, the SS was considered its own car model, even though it was based on a car already in production. For example, the 1968 SS396 was considered its own model, not a Chevelle.

The article SS396 is recommended for deletion.

Grille edit

The grille looks reminiscent of a 1970 Camaro. Would love to have this built as a new Chevelle.

True super sport or CLONES? edit

i feel that many of the readers and owners of classic cars are not aware of the knock off, when they buy or own a super sport car... how can they tell , and know when they have a true Super Sport, and when they get a clone.

what is there to look for in a true SS , and that Clones are just for looks.

Displacement of LSx motors edit

Its calculated from rounded litre displacement numbers.

Example: LS3 is 376 cubes, 6.162 L. Yet is shown as 6.2 and 380. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.243.9.214 (talk) 19:19, 4 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

2014 Chevrolet SS edit

Should 2014 Chevrolet SS merge to here? Rjluna2 (talk) 18:49, 7 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Holden's SS edit

Holden's SS models stand for "Sports Sedan" not "Super Sports". The Chevrolet SS is possibly supposed to stand for "Sports Sedan" too as it is a rebadged Holden Commodore SS.

1963 and Corvair SS edit

Just for info, an email a friend sent me had a 2-min 1963 Chevrolet commercial video attachment which says "four different kinds of Supe Sport garble(cars?)", followed by short promos for

  • "Corvair Monza Convertible with the extra cost Spyder option; just right for the sports car fan who is a family man, with a turbo-supercharged 150hp rear engine The Spyder is available on the Monza Convertible and Monza Club Coupe."
  • "Chevy II Nova Super Sport. ..."
  • "Jet smooth Chevrolet, with the extra-cost extra-glamor Super Sport option" (I presume in several models), ... Impala Super Sport with optional Turbo-Fire 409, with 340hp
  • Corvette StingRay, available for the first time in two models -- coupe and convertible (I see that the coupe is split-window)

The quotes above are rough -- maybe not exact. What caught my attention is that I see no mention of Corvairs in this article. The video does not specifically mention the year 1963, but that's how the email described it. I don't know its copyright status. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 08:36, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
