SilveradoSS.com Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO SS WILL DELIVER CONTEMPORARY PERFORMANCE AND SLEEK STYLING In a long list of enhancements for Chevy's Silverado for 2003, the most exciting is the introduction of an SS model, an expression of contemporary Chevrolet performance. Silverado SS performance is derived from the standard high-output LQ9 version of the Vortec 6000 V-8, delivering 345 horsepower and 380 lbs.-ft. of torque. Accentuating performance is the Silverado SS exhaust system, featuring a single, large 3.5-inch outlet pipe. The result is a throaty NASCAR-inspired roar. Further enhancing performance, as well as vehicle control and handling, are the full-time, all-wheel-drive (AWD), viscous-coupled transfer case and full-locking rear differential - both standard. A unique Z60 High Performance Chassis package, including Silverado's largest-ever, 20-inch tires, provides exceptional road holding and cornering capability and a smooth, comfortable ride. Silverado SS is shod with P275/55R-20 Goodyear Eagle radials mounted on wide 8.5-inch rims. Performance is the key theme to Silverado SS styling. It features an aggressive stance; a monochromatic color-scheme that includes the grille, fascias and lower ground effects; and specially styled aluminum wheels. "Silverado SS" badges accent the front doors and left rear quarter panel. Bodysides are clean, with understated moldings. Sporty five-spoke polished aluminum wheels feature Chevy's emblem in their center cap and the tailgate includes a body-color cap. The custom interior is dark pewter and fully equipped with uplevel LT trim. Its full-feature leather bucket seats have special "SS" embroidered headrests and an "SS" emblem on the redesigned instrument panel. The instrument panel cluster has distinctive white backlighting, with orange pointers. SS customers have a choice of an in-dash six-disc CD changer or a combination single-disc CD/cassette player with their next-generation AM/FM stereos. A premium six-speaker Bose audio system and GM's next-generation OnStar system are standard, along with a center console, eight-button steering wheel controls, a dual-zone automatic climate control system and many other new features. The Silverado SS, displayed at the 2002 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, will be available in all 50 states and Canada beginning in the first quarter of 2003.
