Skip the 275-horsepower turbo four, even the 335-horsepower mid-range V-6. Go with the 455-hp V8 and get to 60 mph in four seconds.

The electric power steering is sharp and precise. The suspension, on loan from Cadillac also helps make this into a ride that does more than just go straight. And for the first time ever, magnetic dampers are available as an option.

The interior has been upgraded with better-feeling materials and a big touchscreen to make the experience feel more refined. But the back seat and trunk are still very tight.

The dual-mode exhaust is an excellent option to give the SS more growl.
