MONTEREY, California — Enthusiasts hoping to test-drive the high-performance 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan may have a difficult time finding the car when sales begin in December.

Chevrolet has about 3,000 dealers in the U.S. and fewer than 1,000 cars are expected to arrive on the first boatload from Australia late this year. The 2014 Chevrolet SS is the spiritual successor to the legendary 1994-'96 Impala SS, a Corvette-powered, rear-drive sedan.

"It will probably be around 900," Chevrolet's John Fitzpatrick told Edmunds.

Chevrolet SS allocation will based on each dealer's Corvette and Camaro sales.

"If you have a niche selling those cars, you are going to get a bigger percentage than somebody who doesn't sell Camaros and Corvettes," he said.

Edmunds says: Consumers who want to kick the tires of the highly anticipated Chevy SS may have to organize a search party.
