Up until now, the Australian-turned-American Chevrolet SS checked off nearly all of the boxes for performance enthusiasts who sought a sedan that had a Corvette soul, but could take the family out to a weekend at the Circuit of the Americas. Only a six-speed automatic and old-school suspension kept it from matching up with the likes of the Cadillac CTS-V, Chrysler 300 SRT8 and other similar sedans.

That could all change this summer, however. Motor Trend r eported that the 2015 SS will come with a six-speed manual and the magnetic ride control found on the Camaro ZL1, Cadillac CTS Vsport and Corvette Stingray, which should better apply the 6.2-liter V8’s 415 horses and matching torque to the pavement if sources are correct.

Though GM remains quiet on the potential upgrades (and how much they might add to or subtract from the current $45,770 base price tag),MT  says to expect the first sighting of the new SS to come during the 2014 Woodward Dream Cruise this August.
