There is nothing 'stripped' about the SS - there's only two options available on the car, a sunroof and spare tire. The lack of optional gear is the product of the SS having just about every modern amenity expected on today's vehicle, standard. Chevrolet has gone so far as to make navigation system and automatic park assist standard on the new SS.
