GM finally posted up !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of the 2015 SS, officially confirming the leaked manual transmission and Magnetic Ride Control - you can see the 6-speed shifter and MRC selector. There's still no dual-mode exhaust, but there are some pretty cool new colors.

It apparently didn't have rear Brembos until now, which I find kind of weird considering that the Camaro SS comes standard with Brembos at all four corners. It gets OnStar 4G LTE too, being a 2015 MY GM vehicle.

It's called a hack saw and some 3" pipe.

And suddenly the amount sold will probably double.

with all the hellcats and Miatas news lately I totally forgot about the SS.

This is good news though and makes it pretty interesting.

Also my phone auto corrects Miata to Mustafa.

No handbrake turns for you, bro.

Oddly enough, I've found photos of the 2014 SS where the electronic parking brake is either on the right or the left - I'm guessing that was a pre-production thing.

GM considered a handbrake in the SS to be too pornographic.

It's just that I'm rather fond of this:

As far as OEM exhaust systems go, I like the dual-mode exhaust, though the SS does sound great on its own!

I noticed that, too - it doesn't seem to be a reskinned version of the one in the Camaro.

It can access 6 forward gears and reverse with the use of a third pedal, though, and that's awesome.

Me think's the image has been 'shopped.

This is what it looks like in the Commodore at the moment.

Nice to see them moving away from that god-awful turquoise dash lighting

I don't care what anyone says, if I had the money (and the interest) this would absolutely 100% be my choice for a sports sedan.

Fuck the M3/M4. I've seen a couple essesses (that's fun to say) in person, it's a sharp looking car.

Of course, as always, if I had that kind of money lying around I'd be buying a Corvette of some kind instead, but apples and oranges.

No 7 speed or LT-1? *Flips Table*

(Kidding of course)

As much as I like the idea of this car, it's just so ugly on the outside. I don't think the G8 was a spectacular looking car but so much better looking than this. They probably didn't make that in manual though did they? Also, this electronic parking brake thing needs to die. Along with buttons and knobs for selecting P, R, N, and D in autos.

The fact that GM sells a ~40 thousand dollar full-size, RWD vehicle that's powered by a V8 and can be optioned out with magnetic ride control is insane.

Gahhh!!! My hate for GM is so strong (looking at you, my 31k mi Cruze with three oil leaks), but yet they come out with things like the Corvette and the SS. SO CONFLICTED!!!
