Because the Chevrolet SS pretty much begs for comparisons to these two competitors I have copied a chart below. If anyone has any of the missing specs let me know. Any thoughts? Obviously since this is an SS forum I expect somewhat of a bias, but is anyone a bigger fan of the 300 or SHO over the SS?
