Hey All - had to upgrade my sons car and rather than take a chance with a used car I gave him mine. No totally benovalent on my part as that meant I needed a car.

I've been trolling the SS for a year and a half and wanted one as a G8.

cheers to all and thanks for all the help.

 

Here is another

 

Last one.

 

Nice. That car is on my list as well. I used to own a gto which has a similar platform. When I get the g paid for, I'll be in the market for one. Keep us updated on the performance and mods. Congrats on the purchase!

 

Nice find! The SS has been out a little while now and I've only seen two rolling down the road. Pretty rare around the roads I've been driving, nice sleeper too, much like the other Aussie V8-GM setups. Congrats!

 

Not really a fan of the looks but gotta love that v8. Please tell me its a manual.

 

The poster child for Sleeper Cars. Well done. Too bland for my taste, but you can't argue with the recipe, particularly if you got the 6MT. Also, an uncommon and likely rare car, all things considered.

What do you mean by you had to upgrade your son's car?

 

His car was on its last leg.

 

It will look very different once I rebadge it as a Holden Commodore SSV, which is what it is in Australia. Thanks all. There only about 6000 of them in the US. Think different...

 

I love V8, too bad it've got a Chevrolet badge and the sheet metal is not my cup of tea. The only Chevrolet I care is the Corvette. The first thing I would do is to debadge it.

 

Wow no idea these came in 6MT! But also no idea they can cost over $50K!

Did you cross-shop with anything else? That's S4 territory...

 

Few pics of under the hood please ?

 

Nice pick up. If I was in the market for a new car, it would be a SS.

Auto or 6MT?

 

Any pics of the interior? Nice man I like them. But would be interested to see the inside, I think the Infiniti interior has spoiler me for american cars :/

 

I cross shopped the Audi S5, the BMW M235i, the new Mustang. The S5 i still love but to equip it the way i wanted - it pushed the price well in the $50's. Even the M235i did the same. It is small and i really don't love the looks.

I really liked the Mustang. Fully equipped it hit the mid-$40's but no sunroof option was a non-starter for me. with no rear windows that open and no sunroof i couldn't do it.

Oh the SS only comes with three options besides the color, a full matching spare, a sunroof and 6MT vs. Auto. All other electronics from NAV to forward lane warning and blindspot, HUD, WIFI, etc, all come standard. its is not over $50K - they sticker for $48940 - i paid much less than that with my discount.
