It is style is retro modern.
My ssr is a hardtop convertible pickup with a corvette engine, wide tires and a sport suspension. It has 350 horsepower in a four speed overdrive transmission. Ssr means super sport roadster. It is silver with a black leather interior. I call it my silver bullet.

Like drinking whiskey from a bottle of wine
Head turning presence. LS 2 power. Since it looks different and also muscled up it attracts a lot of police scrutiny. Very difficult to hide in the crowd of box cars. Vette engine, vette cramped interior. At least you don’t have to fall down into it. A blast to cruise in. Fun to drive...

Although it looks unique, it is basically a Chevrolet Corvette with a limited edition body.
Great vehicle from Day One and has continued ever since. Performs like a champ. Not seen on every street corner and/or in every parking lot. Over all FUN TO DRIVE.

She's fast! With a 6L V8 engine the SSR really picks up.
Like the ease of entry and the running boards. The automatic convertible top is way cool and the LS2 corvette engine has serious POWER. She's a real head-turner.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Dave B.

It is a convertible small pickup truck with a corvette engine with over 300 horsepower with 19 inch tires in front and 20 inch tires in the rear. It has a nailed down suspension that takes corners well. It has chrome wheels, disc brakes all around, leather upholstery and automatic transmission. Car is in excellent condition.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Dave B.

It only takes a driver and one passenger. The windshield washer system had to be replaced with a new system in which new wiper blades could be replaced more easily. It does not come with a spare tire or a donut, instead, it has an air compressor with a spray can of fix-a-flat.
