CHEVROLET SSR! - BETTER THAN YOUR REMEMBER! 

You can tell the owner loves his cars. The smile is priceless.

I just picked up my 2004 Redline Red SSR today. It is a really fun car to look at and drive. It has the 300 HP V8 which for me, at 74, is plenty and keeps me out of trouble. But it has a nice rumble to it and it is FUN to drive. The bed is all carpeted with strips that look like wood, and pristine bed. I'm jacked. Been thinking I would get a Explorer or Enclave, safe and durable. Just happened on this on Saturday and 4 days later it is in my garage. FUN. Now I'll look forward just to drive it.

Drove my Step Grandpa's a bunch when I was on leave from deployment. Man what an excellent ride. Rest in Peace William Morris.

I've owned my 2003 SSR since 2006. And I never get tired of driving it! And I always run into people that have never seen one other than photos! They're a blast to drive.

I have had my 2005 Supercharged Asphalt Black fro 18 months. Only 51,000 miles and I love it.

Recently we got a 2004 Chevrolet SSR in ultra violet with only 36,5 kmi and it's great. Greetings from Germany

I love my 2003 ssr! Got the pretty blue one and had it flamed. Drives like a dream.

I'm not a big 'car' person, like my husband, but I am in LOVE with this car!!!

Have owned an SSR for 3 years now . Love it very much. Wanted one ever since I saw it at Disney World at the GM pavilion . Its fun to own and fun to drive . There is a whole fan club built around the vehicle that is full of great people . Get one and you will see what we mean by Permagrin !!!! Layne12gun Lil Red

Mine is an 05 Aqua Blur 6 speed but much closer to stock. I LOVE IT! Fun to drive modern day Hot Rod that you can drive anywhere. The 395bhp is enough for me to get in trouble with. Some mods are planned but no hurry to complete them.

Casey you did a really nice job of showcasing this amazing vehicle. Cleve, beautiful SSR and excellent job of representing owners everywhere!!

I was very intriqued when I saw my first one about 10 years ago in a parking lot. I thought it was very cool, especially when I saw how the convertible top worked. However I got a very unexpected response when I showed a picture to my family, who thought it was ugly!! LOL. I guess you either love it or hate it.

I have a supercharged 2005 with the 6 speed. Lots of fun and gets lots of attention

Just bought a 2004 SSR with the 5.3L V8 with 300 HP. It still has some Get up and Go , even with the 5.3L, but the Goal is to Drop a LS9 in it... Watch this Space...

I bought my 2005 Black SSR new and love it. It is a modern day Split Window as only 24,000 were made and thousands have already been wrecked or worn out. Only downside is parts are a challenge to find, if you need them, I have spares of critical parts as I find them.

I've had a 2004 with 300 hp for 15 years. Enjoy it every day. I wished for a while that I could have the Corvette engine in it but they really stiffened the suspension for that, I understand ,and I'm tired of high performers that jar your teeth out as a driver. And mine is a daily driver. I have loved it. I would like to add the supercharger just for the punch. This came out about the same era as several other really good vintage-influenced designs that LOOKED as if they would launch like a rocket. The trouble with all of these is that they were underpowered vs their hot styling and disappointed car guys. Something that looks like this should have chewed chunks out of pavement! It's designed as a hotrod! The Thunderbird should have had more thunder and the Prowler should have howled and challenged ANYTHING off the line. Instead they all got the "all show, no go" reputation until the upgrades. Dodge got it right from the beginning with VIPER. I consider mine a CRUISER. Long wheelbase and super ride. Amazing performance handling on par with Corvette. Corners flat at speed-all the engineering is in it. My wife and I recently took it to the back roads in the Appalachians during fall color with the top down. It was like driving through a tunnel of color. People's reaction has been all been positive-often both surprise and delight.

The old man did an awesome job in customized his ssr the color of the truck alone is that one of a kind color the ssr is my dream truck that and the 1954 Chevrolet 3100 that Jonathan icon builds when I say the old man enjoys his hot ride as long as it brings a big smile that's what counts. Thanks

I have a 2006 SSR with a 6 speed manual transmission that I added a magnusson magna charger to and it turned at about 480 at the rear wheel on the dyno

Love it. I'm buying a 2005 in a couple of weeks. Can't wait !

Would love to see this on Jay Leno. You did a great job with the video. And this dude did an excellent job modding his ride.

I have a 2004 pristine condition 19500 miles, red. Will let it go for $20,000 no joke in Bakersfield,Ca

I've had Corvettes for the past 30 yrs. Bought my first SSR in 2021. Never had so much fun driving a vehicle as I have with this SSR.

I so badly want one of these trucks!

I've had two of these. Bought a new-old-stock 04 in the summer of 05, but it was a lemon (roof broke irreparably) within the first 90 days and GM bought it back. I tried again in about 2016 with another 04, but that one was just a rattletrap. And still I think about getting yet another even now! Probably an 06 though with all the revisions built in.

Purchased my 04 SSR and I get a lot of attention as well as a few wants to try me. The SSR when already rolling front ends lifts up and it puts more tracking to rear wheels.

Literally..... The only people saying negative things about this vehicle are ... childish haters!! Because you can't compare it to a truck.. and you can't compare it to a car!! The El Camino is the closest thing chevy ever made to this!... But this is a Roadster!! DIFFERENT then the El Camino I can tell you, as a neutral car lover.. Its everything you "should have" expected.... It does everything you expect it to, well.. So if you were expecting a truck??? Y O U. were wrong to confuse this with one!! If you were expecting a corvette??? Again... you would be wrong!! YOU.... NOT THE VEHICLE...

I’m an owner and love it!

Great review! One of the jazziest SSR's I have seen. Terrific presentation

That looks amazing and looks like a modern version of the Australian classic 1953 FJ Holden.

Excellent video!! Modified perfectly, imo. Ghost flames aren't my style, but I'm glad he loves it! That saddle interior IS ✨MINT✨. The mechanical mods are stellar. Been hunting for one of these for a while, gotta keep these mods in mind for my own!

Great job on the episode.. Happy Thanksgiving!

I have a 04 and my wife and I love it it’s fun

Looks way better with the Pearlescent paint than factory colors, great job

Very Cool Car, and another Great Video!!!

I bought an '05, last November. The roof doesn't work, and it's gonna cost a pretty penny to repair, but, the 6.0 is running just fine. and I get plenty of looks, and the odd compliment, here and there.

Very Kool I just bought 05 SSR Black

😎🇺🇸🙌 Great POSITIVE SSR video I’m looking into getting one I know they have some issues with the roof adjustments ,overheating but they are all fixable and once done you have a unique vehicle and not another Camaro ,nothing wrong with them I just want something different 🙌🇺🇸🙏Sept 2022

Just found this video, black 06 v8 auto. I'm keeping mine no sale no trade I'm good. The spring, the summer, the fall yes. The winter no I'm in NYC I put in my garage take public transit I don't mind.

Great job man

Saw one at a carshow today and it was slick af LS2 can't complain either lol

I really like the supercharged ssr I would consider getting one you should do the plymoth prowler they're unique like the ssr

Can we hear how it sound rather than the crazy music

Where did u get ur supercharger from

Oh my stars! My brother's best bud just bought an SSR❗

I'm not a Chevy guy, but if I was going to buy a Chevy, ssr would probably be the 1 I'd buy.

How can I get in touch with Cleve Childers? I have an '05 and would like to know about his blower install and rear end swap.

O won't say a negative comments about the gentleman making his ho t ride to his liking but if I'm blessed to get one I'm leaving my original that 6.0 is enough power for me.

I have a 2005 only 2300 miles.aqua ❤️ it

great review

i had a 2004 SSR with the 5.3 L automatic transmission before the 2006

A shorty, 2 seater, full framed , LS powered , manual trans Chevy truck sounds incredible and I honestly Really really wanna love it. It’s everything in one package. I just hate the nose

some say the chevy ssr looks bad, but the even not modified ssr's look just retro, and those people are wrong.

Classic ghost flames

Mine is red and still turns heads!

Where would you even go to find chrome parts like that.

I so love this truck. I don't know why it's called the ugliest.

Nice ride but I would lower the rear it sits up too high in the back. Would be nice with wide body kit n deep dish wheels.

I liked it but it was to expensive back in the day

“better than your remember”

Not sure why they discontinued this bad boy

Brian Nesbitt

I have one. All stock. Comments l get is, what the hell is that?

Like to own 1

Tôi rất thích nó..nhưng ở việt nam hoàn toàn không có

I have an 05 LS2 6SP with 4k on the odometer.....FOR SALE. REPLY

Can't believe these flopped so hard

All that chrome is so tacky. What a shame.

Let's. Go. Brandon

GM’s best vehicles? Those things are hideous.

Looks like a PT cruiser. Gross 🤮
