I used to own a 2016 Chevrolet SS. I think an R/T Scat Pack or SRT Charger (Challenger) is probably a better vehicle overall. The SS is lacking in creature comforts and technology, even compared to the fairly old LA/LD-platform vehicles. The SS's LS3 is not as powerful as the 6.4 liter Hemi, and occasionally felt soft at lower RPMs. If selecting an automatic transmission, the Challenger's 8HP is generations better than the SS's 6L80. Finally, comparisons over "handling ability" is all relative when comparing two-ton sedans.
I think the Chevrolet SS has been over-hyped by the internet. It's a decent car, but it's not worth a premium unless you need a specific set of attributes in a vehicle.
