In some ways, the Chevrolet SS is the opposite of the 2016 Camaro. While both are brilliant demonstrations of Chevy's V8 will, these machines find themselves at the opposite ends of the aftermarket attention world.
We are kidding you not - within three months from the time when deliveries kicked off, the 2016 Camaro SS had already received all three major power adders, with tuners turning to nitrous, supercharging and twin-turbocharging in their quest to extract more performance from the Corvette-engined Camaro.

As for the Chevy SS, we hardly ever hear of models that have been taken to the gym and we're here to fix that by showing you the fastest Chevrolet SS in the world.

We know, that title may sound like a bit too much, given the details mentioned above, but at least we're dealing with a sedan that knows how to deliver respectable performance.

This Chevy SS is the kind that packs a moderate amount of mods, but manages to make the most out of them. To be more precise, the main tuning ingredients here are a Procharger (those of you who aren't familiar with the hardware should think of a belt-driven turbo), a methanol injection system, as well as a custom cam setup.

So yes, there are tons of stock parts on this car, but that doesn't seem to bother anybody. With the Chevy having taken the mandatory trip to the drag strip, the sedan managed to deliver low 10s passes, which is pleasing to say the least. For the sake of comparison, we'll mention a stock Chevrolet SS is a car that can complete the quarter mile sprint in 13 seconds.

And while many would be tempted to say the car's mileage, which sits below 3,000, isn't nearly enough for such an aftermarket trip, we'll remind them that the latest trend sees engine break-in procedures being replaced with burnouts.
