How fast is the new SSR going to be? It's got the new Corvette LS2 V-8 with 390 horsepower and 405 pound feet of torque. It's also got a 6-speed manual transmission, I'm wondering if it will beat the Lightning.

Yeah buddy! Ok, I have no idea how fast....but wow! Dangit...sure wish I had the money for one of those. They are beautiful trucks! There's a silver one running around Fontana and it's nice! Bet that thing'll give the Lightning a run for it's money!
The SSR is a pretty cool looking truck??(not really a truck, but anyway)
The LS2 motor will be a nice addition, but to truly be a "hot rod" it needs to go on a extreme weight lose program. Trim it down to about 3500-3800lbs. Looe the trick folding top and put on a real hardtop. Does it come with a manual tranny? If not, it needs one.
It's a blatant ripoff of the success of the PT, which is good I guess. Whatever gets em in the showroom I hate to jinks it, but it is likely to follow in the footsteps of the Prowler.
Yea, the manual and LS2 are new for 2005. As heavy as it is it is still 500lbs less than the Lightning. I love the SSR but it is 40K and I'd rather spend 5 more grand for an SRT Ram. If it was just a little cheaper it would be awesome.

I've driven one. It has the 5.3/auto combination. I was impressed. I think it's a neat looking vehicle (I refuse to call it a truck). Nice smooth ride, I got a kick out of the way the top folds in and out.
