Thank you, Australia. You're the only other country that ever really "got" the V8 muscle car, and you did it proud.

Coming from a place who was involved in the testing of these engines, it is still heart breaking knowing what happened to Holden. I can speak first hand that the VF series was a fantastic car all around. The engineering and enthusiasm that went into building every one of these cars was top notch. Australia had a great car here and then it just all ended. With the LSA, it was the icing on the cake for those wanting the ultimate power package. These engines have more potential in them, and are capable of some serious HP . Thank you for a great review and a thumbs up for an Aussie Icon.

In Brazil we got some of those Holdens badged as Chevrolet Omegas, they were great, not owning anything to other imports.

Agreed. I worked at 'General Motors - Holden' for a time as did my whole family. Holden's demise was a result of a number of things. As a bottom line reason, Holden eventually got the Commodore 'right' with the VF model. The problem was that by the time they achieved that, Australians had moved on from the most popular car (the Commodore) in the 80/90's to cheap, crap SUV's and other small car Korean rubbish. As a result, Holden was left holding the ball with a car nobody here wanted anymore. I have to say though that Holden had already dropped the ball in the area of marketing, sticking with an ad agency that failed to produced any impressive advertising for the cars for as long as I can remember. Additionally, Holden should never have dropped the 'General Motors' adage to their brand name. As Aussies became more global names such as Toyota, Mazda, etc where more ingrained than a backwater car manufacturer even though it was home grown. Eventually, Holden asked for money from the federal govt as they had done for years since they were running at a loss, but the Liberal government at the time refused for the first time in 30+ years, saying why should we help you out when Aussies arent even buying your cars anymore? And true to the point, much of Holden's profit by that time was coming from exports from which they (the govt) never benefited. And so came the death knell. It really is sad. Holden ended up producing one of the best 4 door cars in the world for its price point and no-one wanted it anymore. Fortunately for me I picked up a new HSV Clubsport R8 before the shutdown. I've owned it several years and it doesnt miss a beat. I love the car so much I'm about to go a Walkinshaw W547 supercharger, cam exhaust upgrade on her. This car is a keeper.

You could buy the same power train in a stock HSV Commodore and even get this in a wagon and a ute. 12.1 stock, with a few mods like exhaust and gears they are easy 11's. The GTS had a stronger drive train and a little shorter gearing. They were Corvette money in Australia 125 k . They built a heap of them to to hang around until we get Camaro''s but they will carry a 40~50K surcharge for RHD. It's a pity the US never got the full range.... Or even a chance to keep its name. Funny review it's difficult to jump in one of these and not want to do burnouts. Cheers

Nobody is going to buy those at that price. For those to be worth that money it will be 50 years or banana republic money. Once we get some decent cars imported ie a 300C with a hellcat drive train they will be taking up space in Holden dealers Showrooms. They will all want to have a halo car on display because who wants to see a Opel or Daewoo.

Nice Troll PIDsMedia I think Sara would fall in love with an XR6T Falcon, better transmission than the Commodore and they drive better as well. HSV is stupid money new at the moment (so are FPV by the way) Sadly the Falcon platform never got LHD. It's a real shame the rest of the world didn't get a chance to see just how good they were. There is a turbo Territory in my driveway (wifes) and it uses more fuel than my 6 liter SS and honestly stock is a bit slower. The thing is the only RWD V8 still on sale in Australia at the moment (under 150K)by a company still in production is the Mopar. 1 in 8 of the people who buy these cars will be prepared to modify it, maybe 1 in 50 would be up for a motor swap? The 300 was never really that popular here due to it's size? I believe that there are significant insurance issues with after market SC cars here.. The Tesla isn't practical in Australia as there are few to none of the fast charge station (let alone charge stations)west of the great dividing range. You cant cross the country in a Tesla in Australia..... Unlike the US, I suppose we will have to go back to 6 cylinders............... Cheers

It the 2018 Opel Insignia rebadged, 235Kw V6 AWD and in metallic black it's a gorgoues beast and such an awesome Grand Tourer. It just fair honks. Whilst the noise from V8's are a wonderous thang, my V6 has a sweet rasp to it that never fails to put a smile on my dial.

just saw this video, i had a 2007 Z06 I had to sell due to health issuers, but i wanted a nice car to replace it. I tried the Caddy CST V but it just didn't feel right. Then i found this 2015 SS and wow it was so easy to drive. But after a bit i thought the car was too heavy. And needed a little help. So i added Eibach coil springs which also lowered it 1 inch. A pair of BRM trailing arms of thicker steel and harder bushings, then i found a fella that sells LSA Kits for $5,000 and bought that too. I added Methanol injection and the water intercooler. Stock cam, exhaust, but a new tune to adapt the PCM to the boost. I used the stock pulley to get 9 PSI, but worried about the lack of gauges. So i added three gauges Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure and of course Boost. centered over the middle dash speaker area. Now after about 1,000 miles i think i had found the perfect retirement cruiser. Little over 500 HP really helps the heavy car although as you know the car drives nimble. Factory mufflers sounds real nice with 9 PSI. It seems you would AGREE, the SS is one hell of a ride.

The Garret Mitchel eagle reference was funny. Seems *feel the freedom* / *let the eagles fly* , is realized within this SS review. A whole lotta vehicle to control, being a rear wheel traction 600HP machine, (while in go-peddle floor-mash mode). Thanks, extra fun.

Glad you like my daily driver, here in South Africa we call it the Lumina SS. The only thing I don't overtake is the garage, even when I have filled up I'm looking for the next gas station. Great review, but I am a little bias towards the car, but you did a great job as always. Now for the EVO..............LOL

There was no point in removing the SS badges because here in Australia that Car is a Holden Commodore SS but that point being made with the Supercharger it would be a HSV GTS.

I still have my 2004 VY Wagon. It's up best car I've ever owned. I hate to get rid of it, but we'll getting too difficult to maintain it with spare parts. Were I in Australia, where parts are plenty, it would up a different story.

I am in Sydney Australia and have a VE S/S sports wagon. Perfect combination if you have a family and still want to have a beast when you put your foot down. Sad now that Australian made Holden is gone.

Nearly. The FG XR6T is a way better family car - much bigger interiour, comfy 3 adults across the rear seat, much bigger boot, and 10L/100kms. I have a 800hp version.

Great review. I have the privilege of driving a GENFGTS HSV which has the factory fitted LSA with a lot of extra bits. I added a Walkinshaw W507 upgrade. It is shame that you did not get that version over there and GM killed of our Holden/HSV. Shame on GM. In the mean time I will just drive and enjoy🙂

Great review (just found it on KZbin) even though I have been following this channel for years. I even named my Forrester GUMP also 🤣 My 2012 HSV Clubsport R8 just puts a smile on my face and sounds very anti-social when hitting the pedal to the metal

Loved the review. GM and the Australian Government needs to hang their heads in shame. We are a small country, but we can mix it with the best. It has always felt; that someone was behind the scene pulling Australian car manufacturing apart. The rebirth of Torana around 2008 would have helped secure the numbers to remain viable. But it’s to little to late.

V8 supercars in this body style still used Gen 1 Chevy small blocks it was a 302 chev with SB2 NASCAR top end , same as the Ford's they used 302 W old school blocks with Yates style Nascar top ends , rules required 5.0 litre maximum.
