This news may lower the value of the 2004 SSR's that dealers are asking more than MSRP. They may even have trouble getting MSRP once this news gets out.

Not me - I'm pretty happy with my 300. Saw a brochure for the Ford GT today - 550 hp in a 5.4 liter engine - Superchager is stock. Never gonna catch up - don't want to. :thumbs

Speaking of the Cal Speedway... The IRL race there in late summer will be paced by an SSR (as all races but INDY) this year. Perhaps we could arrange for a SSR area at the race? It would be nice to have several SSR's on display...???
On the 05 issue: I understand that the '05 may be the final year of production for SSR's. Anybody else hear that??? The dealership that sold me my SSR said he heard that was the plan all along...
I read an article a while back where they talked to the head guy at GM. He stated that the SSR production will be around 3500 for 2003, 10,000 for 2004 and 15,000 for 2005 and up. He said the plan was for GM to make the SSR for five years.
I talked with my local dealer this morning. He says that the dealer that is taking orders is just jumping the gun. There is no official release for taking orders on the 2005. That will come in a week or so. So this guy is just doing what any dealer will do. If you want to go in and make a deposit (some will order without, 'cause they will have to order some anyway) they will "get you one on the way" (whenever they can, but they don't say that part.) There has been no news of a 'Vette engine being in an a SSR.
I emailed that dealer and got this reply. He is in a dealership in Michigan.
Hi Mike,
I am sorry but I do not have any official news from GM. One of the SSRs design team just dropped by our dealership in a 05 on Wen. and I was able to take a look at it.
that doesn't surprise me he is really into cars. I am surprised that we don't see more pictures or info about stars owning any of the SSR's I know it isn't as big a deal as other cars but still the cool factor would be a big thing.

I have been watching the HHR development for some time. THe concept drawings looks very "jeepesque" to me. Kind of like a RAV4 meets Jeep Liberty thing with SSR front fenders. Only will have an aspirated 4 cyl. engine. High volume vehicle. It stands for "Heritage High Roof". Of course, the high roof does give you more head room, just look at the PT Cruiser! Personally, I would rather buy a turbo version of that than the HHR now that I have seen the concepts.
Hey thankx 4 the HHR name correction. When I was writing I cudn't remember the real name. Thanx again.
:cool

A few months back, I had my Tremec transmission rebuilt. The vibration is gone, and it shifts great, but it has had a slight leak at the output shaft seal since the rebuild. I was hoping the leak would stop with a little break-in time, but it got to the point where I was seeing a little...
Three R owners, @SSReplay, @MicDonna and myself and our birthday wives spent the weekend at Orange Beach. All 3 lovely wives birthday are in February plus had to celebrate Valentine's day. Our trip planner and organizer @CAZ SSR and his lovely bride Jackie couldn't make it. Jim was the only one...
While MicDonna, SSReplay and I were touring Pickens Fort in Pensacola a gentleman seen our SSR logos and told us he was one of the test Engineers hired by GM to tested the SSR. He said first downfalls was money and the 18 month push it to production. One of the first things they discovered was...
OK, I just had to ask this stupid question before spring gets here. I have struggled over the years with trying to find an easier way to clean the complete inside of my rear window without having to take off the GM Wind-Break. I was hoping someone here could share their best and easiest...
