An Article About the SSR

[Old Chief]

Here's a link to an article that I am sure many of you "Old timers" have read, but it was interesting to me, and I thought it might be also to other "newbies".

This is by far the best article that I have read on the SSR. It states its greatest points but does not bash the bad. Thanks for posting the article.

hadn't seen that article. I like the way he wrote. Sounds like he actually drove it, although maybe not on wet roads yet, and embraced it for what it was

Good catch on the Brit part.

I hope you fellow fanatics will find ths as interesting as I did. When I first bought my SSR about 2 years ago I was trying to find out something about how it had been used by Chevrolet since it was used as part of their communications fleet. I boldly sent an E-mail to Freezer and asked if he could help, he suggested that I
e-mail Bob Walczyk and see what he could provide any info. Bob kindly forwarded my e-mail and information around his office and got a response that my vehicle had been used by several magazines as a tester the only one they could provide an actual record of was the computer article that was referenced by Old Chief I know that, because the pictures provided to me then were the same as were in this article. The copy provided to me was worded a little differently than this one but many of the same paragraphs were used in both. I'm not trying to brag just thought it was neat how it showed up on the forum so much later. I had been trying to find it and never had been able to.
