Probably old news but LS2 in 2005 SSR w/390 hp
Quote from chevy
A revolution unto itself, the Chevrolet SSR represents the perfect blend of performance, innovation and style — all with a certain flair that may make it the ultimate cruiser pickup truck.True to the bowtie on the grille, the SSR is pure Chevy under the hood. Raise the sculpted lid and you’ll see the latest incarnation of the legendary Chevy small-block V8. This all-aluminum LS2 6.0L V8 comes designed to crank out an asphalt-kicking 390 horsepower. The use of aluminum cuts the weight of the engine by 100 pounds and helps to dissipate heat, enhancing both performance and fuel efficiency. The LS2 V8 will be mated to another proven performer, GM’s Hydra-Matic 4L65-E — an electronically controlled, four-speed automatic transmission. For 2005, customers can also choose an available 6-speed Tremec manual transmission.“There is nothing else in the market like SSR,” says Brent Dewar, Chevrolet general manager. “We’ve combined the heritage of the 1947-1953 advanced design pickup with the latest innovations in product and manufacturing technology to enhance the Chevrolet brand. And no one offers more function and pure fun in one package.”Check out the SSR from the front with the top up and it’s a low and lean roadster with sleek, flowing lines. Follow the curves around the side and you’ll see the large, flared fenders and a user-friendly cargo area with color-matched cargo cover.What will really stop traffic is when — with the push of a button — the SSR transforms from hardtop to convertible in less than 25 seconds. Called a “top stack,” the power retractable hardtop system has roof panels that move independently to stack vertically behind the passenger compartment. This unique vertical storage system enables the SSR to boast the utility space of a pickup — even with the top down, the SSR’s bed capacity remains unchanged at 22.5 cubic feet.
The 116-inch wheelbase allows the SSR to maintain functionality and ample interior room for two while still providing responsive, precise ride and handling. The turning radius — through excellent engineering — is comparable to a smaller-sized sedan.
