There were plenty of old Malibu's and Chevelle's ordered with the suspension, tire and brake setup from the SS versions. They have become collectors now because of the uniqueness of the car.

Your view is antiquidated.
Si does not mean top dog performance
Spec V does not mean top dog performance
XRS does not mean top dog performance
Neither does SVT (170 hp Focus anyone?)
The SRT name has been tainted by the Calibur as well.
Given the above example's from the other top 6 nameplates, what exactly is Chevy supposed to badge their sporty cars?
Name me 1 Chevy SS Car that has been dragged thru the mud as much as some of the "sporty" import nameplates.
