(bigjohn141 @ Aug. 18 2007,22:12) I OWN ONE! It is a very fun vehical to drive and surpises everyone. The fuel mileage is not too bad, around 17- 18 on the highway but after getting the computer tuned it gets around 20-21. There are some issues with the SS such as a rearend problem and some trannie issues on some. As for speed, after a tune, e-fan, CAI and underdrive pulley it will run mid 13s and if you throw in a 2800-3200 stall you can get into the low 13s and even a few high 12s. If you want to go all out they are making super chargers and turbo kits and nos kits and built trannies to handle the power.
If you want to read up about the problems and performance stuff check out
www.trailvoy.com and look in the SS section. Lots of good info on there from real people, just like here.
