The Chevrolet SS will go into a new model year with some minor exterior
enhancements.
A revised front fascia features new, vertical ducts at the outer edges to direct
airflow over the front wheel openings to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The
fascia also incorporates new LED signature lighting, while new, functional hood
vents and new-design 19-inch cast-aluminum wheels contribute to a stronger
appearance for the rear-drive sports sedan.
Slipstream Blue, a new exterior color, is also available on 2016 models.
Inside, Chevrolet MyLink features a new 8-inch-diagonal radio with standard
navigation.
What hasn't changed is the SS's 6.2-liter V-8 engine under the hood that outputs
an SAE-certified 415 horsepower (310 kW) and 415 lb-ft of torque (563 Nm), and
offers a six-speed manual transmission or a paddle-shift six-speed automatic
transmission.
A new, dual-mode exhaust system for 2016 complements the V-8 engine with quieter
performance at low engine speeds and a more muscular engine note at wide-open
throttle.
Adding to the performance-focused SS, Magnetic Ride Control - the world's
fastest-reacting damping system - is a standard feature. It provides more
precise body motion control that equals a more responsive and refined ride.
State-of-the-art Brembo brakes, standard in the front and rear, are also
included on the vehicle.
With the automatic transmission and its performance-oriented 3.27 final-drive
ratio, the Chevrolet SS accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds.
Models equipped with the manual transmission feature a more aggressive 3.70 axle
ratio for even stronger acceleration.
