For the final model year of the SS, the Golden Bowtie was charging just under $49,000 after the destination charge and gas-guzzler tax. That’s was lot, even in comparison to the Dodge Charger Scat Pack Widebody, and you shouldn’t be surprised that only 13,000 units were sold from 2013 to 2017.
Be that as it may, the SS has a strong following in the United States.
One of these sports sedans received a ported supercharger featuring a 2.75 pulley, ARH long-tube headers, less restrictive catalytic converters, a Varex XForce exhaust system, and an E85 tune for a grand total of 650 rear-wheel horsepower. Owned by a gentleman called Anthony, the car is capable of 750 ponies but 650 will have to suffice because it’s used as a daily driver.
Although the owner describes this tuned SS as “very tame,” bear in mind that the rear end tends to dance around with the traction control turned on. As for strip-slaying capability, high 10s on the quarter-mile is pretty darn impressive for such a heavy vehicle with the bone-stock automatic transmission.
