The Super Sport model endeavors to recall the days of big block power. Chevrolet's website states that this 6.2 liter V8 can get a real world 19 miles per gallon in the EPA test cycle. But with 422 horsepower on tap, many will not be able to restrain themselves enough to see their best mileage. In fact, after driving the SS, it was hard to return it to the dealer. The SS does everything the RS does, but with more force. The handling is somewhat compromised by the heavier engine, but the suspension does a good job of reigning that in. Should understeer become an issue, judicious (not unbridled, particularly with the SS) application of the throttle will help that independent rear step out and correct the vehicles' direction.
