Ever since its debut for 2003, the Chevrolet SSR with its retractable hardtop has
been turning heads as the ultimate boulevard cruiser pickup truck. For 2005, SSR
gets to snap some necks with a potent new 6.0L LS2 V-8 engine and available
six-speed manual transmission straight out of the legendary Corvette. Flexing
potent new muscle to match its stunning looks, SSR is powered by the newest
version of Chevy’s legendary small-block V-8. Ratings are 390 horsepower (291 kw)
at 5400 rpm, while torque is 405 lb.-ft (549 Nm) at 4400 rpm. This massive power
dose is harnessed through Corvette’s Hydra-Matic 4L65-E four-speed automatic
transmission or an optional Tremec M10 six-speed manual gearbox. Engineering
advances in catalyst materials made possible catalytic converters that are more
effective and less restrictive for the LS2’s exhaust. The new converters are
mounted closer to the exhaust manifold for quicker "lightoff" and reduced
cold-start emissions. SSR’s exhaust has been retuned to maintain its throaty
sound.
