Vehicle Description
2006 Chevrolet SSR Why This Vehicle is Special Back in the '40s and
'50s Chevrolet built what was then called Classic Advance Design
trucks. Later, Chevrolet built a new concept truck with a
retro-style design that had V8 power, sports car handling, and a
unique look that has become a classic in its own right. We have a
red 2006 Chevrolet SSR here at Skyway Classics that is very clean
and has that unique fold-down hardtop as well as chrome wheels and
fat tires and is powered by the 6.0-liter LS2 V-8 that churns out
400 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque and shifted by a
6-speed manual transmission and has four-wheel power disc brakes
too. But we should also never forget that these hardtop convertible
pickups are a ton of fun to drive. Features 2006 Chevrolet SSR

Mechanical Our 2006 SSR has the new version of Chevy's 6.0-liter
LS2 V-8 that churns out 400 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of
torque. It's the same engine found under the hood of the Corvette
and the Pontiac GTO. A 6-speed manual transmission also found in
the Corvette has been tested in magazines at seven seconds to go
from 0 to 60 mph with 0-to-100-mph time that was even more
impressive in just 14.1 seconds. It all rides on a shortened,
reinforced version of the Trailblazer EXT's hydroformed steel
perimeter frame, which is supported by a firm double A-arm
suspension up front and a 5-link rear with a solid axle. This
chassis and suspension give the SSR cornering capabilities way
beyond those of a typical pickup, turn in is quick, and front plow
mild, body roll is minimal, and feedback from the suspension and
tires first rate. Stopping the SSR are 4-wheel disc brakes with
standard ABS, which brought it down from 60 in a good average
distance of 132 feet. It all looks factory stock in a clean and
detailed engine compartment with all the correct factory components
like air conditioning, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and
chrome wheels and grippy black sidewall performance tires. Interior
The SSR's red exterior is matched by a slick black/red cockpit
that's both custom stylish and Chevy efficient. Brushed SSR trim
provide a nice contrast to the dark dash and doors, while power
buckets provide good long distance ride comfort. The main gauge
cluster is super with controls for the AM/FM/CD audio system are
clear and easy to use, as are the simple climate controls. It has
sculpted bucket seats, a color-matched center console with the
manual shifter, power windows, power locks, power seats, power
mirrors, cruise control, key-less entry, ice-cold air conditioning,
and stereo radio system. Exterior Our SSR retro machine has a
legendary curvy style with modern streamlining covered with slick
factory red paint that has the original deep luster. Chevrolet
trucks in the 1950s had a lot of chrome and stainless and they
carried over that retro theme as well machine as there is plenty of
bright work on the grille, door handles, and the running boards
with shiny chrome mag wheels alloys for an extra aggressive stance.
Super fat front fenders bulge out from a plunging, wedge-shaped
hood. While in the rear, the sporty cargo box is flanked by even
fatter fenders. But the slickest exterior feature, and the core of
the SSR's appeal, is the powe
