Interesting. The one local guy I have with one weighed his at the local metal recycler and said his was 5200 (truck alone).

 

There is alot of steel in a SSR. That is why they are such pigs. Double layers of .070 steel in the floor alone. Not to mention the body sides and outer skin.

 

The SSR is a really cool vehicle. GM royally screwed it up like they have with so many vehicles. Remember the Fiero? They prices it 20K too high initially and put the wrong engine in. The current one is great and the only convertible pickup out there.

TB

 

The non convert looks like they wacked the top of a VW bug and put it on.

 

Hey,

Maybe Rusty will buy it back now that he is not racing. LOL

Jesus Vinnie, I've been on this board longer than you and look at the post difference.

 

It has met my reserve and there has been almost 2500 views in 2 1/2 days. I guess the Rusty connection is bringing out the Nascar fans to take a look. Especially being Daytona week

 

good news, congrats!

 

yeah 05s are LS2's, *slightly* detuned to 390hp. if you're giving up the L you better tell me that its a 6spd!!!!

Thank you, I am starting to feel sellers remorse already.

Bird, unfortunately my wife doesn't drive a stick.
I read on the SSR forums that if you change the rear end gear from the 3.55 to the 4.56 (not sure if those are exact), it becomes a new animal
