815+HP Supercharged Chevy SS hurting feelings at Powercruise USA

Hurting feelings is an understatement when you're rolling around in a fully loaded 815whp Sedan, AC on, and still pulling lengths on almost every modified car encountered. Today, we're featuring a car that's a bit different from our channel, a 2017 Chevy SS "Super Sleeper" from local car enthusiast Joe. This car has just as much of a modifying story as a story of how Joe acquired the car overseas while serving our country.

And there's plenty of GTOs here in my city I saw one yesterday, actually heard it first. You can't mistake the sound of a LS with a stick behind it slowing to a stop. It's a head turner. Lol. Can I ask what happened, did the Holden plant close or something, seems I remember reading something like that. But I'm 55 and my memory isn't what it was. But definitely we have you guys to thank for ALL of our latest performance cars. Holden and it's incredible engineers have made it easy for a platform or a finished car to come over here with a slightly different nose and rebadged as a bowtie. Wod you please tell me more about the police car you guys developed and what it has to do with the current Corvette. That sounds like an amazing history lesson for all of us. We know you guys down under LOVE your V8 supercars. I watch the Australian V8 Supercar championship every time it comes on. So I can see Australian/American V8 cars compete against Europe's finest. It's a great series! I must say brother, were incredibly sorry for what our "appointed" president has done. We are so so thankful NOONE thus far has blamed us personally. Hopefully enough states have passed laws to prevent what happened in 2020 won't happen again. Just the other day my state Georgia came out with a report that said 43,000 illegal votes were counted. That was well more than enough to win the state of Georgia. Arizona has just cometed a more intensive investigation and found the same situation. We don't yet know the details. But there was foul play for sure. Hopefully we will have Trump or someone else besides someone like potato head joe! This shebacle in Afghanistan has cut us Americans way deep to. The only person it doesn't seem to bother is joe himself . Anyways sorry I went so off topic. Tell me more about what went wrong and the platform for the police car and how it helped with the C8.

@ Paulie Walnuts That’s so true man. Rarely ever see them. I actually saw one of the orange ones last week downtown here when I was on lunch. I was staring like I saw a unicorn. Definitely uncommon. 6 months later and I still don’t have one. Of course everything just keeps going up now. Having to replace my transmission on my gto next month so after that I’ll be selling. But the SS’s are still more than I want to spend so idk what I’m gonna do for now.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS CAR SIR!! got one also.. I need to find out what number in production mine is. 😉😀

[@colson2919]

What an incredible vehicle, never knew there was a version of this car out there like this. That is an absolutely beautiful machine. Loved the story about how you got it man that's really neat! I'm glad it worked out for you and thank you for your service. 🇺🇸

[@ScottKirk-Notredcrew]

Bad ass car man. Listening to you explain why you love/ bought it is exactly why I bought mine!

[@aaronsingh314]

Hell yeah man! Nice move from the BMW! I wish I would have gotten one before all the prices skyrocketed

[@joewasmund5173]

Thanks man! I miss that E39 sometimes but this SS is just too fun.

[@marcusharris113]

Prices have always been high for this car. The decision to make this car thousands of miles outside of the US is why it flopped.

[@joewasmund5173]

@@marcusharris113 It didn't flop, they sold every single unit they had to. GM had an agreement with Holden to sell 12,000 for them in the U.S. over four years, which they did. That's also why they never marketed the car, they didn't care. They were just going to honor that agreement, nothing more nothing less

Congrats bro, well done! You're kickin' ass in style and personality.

[@joewasmund5173]

Thank you sir!

[@HanginInSF]

Thank you for your service!

[@MrKenton80]

watching from Melbourne Australia, I have one your American Muscle cars Jeep Trackhawk 2020. Car sounds fully sick bro lol

[@SvetStoyanov]

What a fantastic car! Thank you for sharing this. Where did you get your headlights blacked-out? I have been wanting to do this for a while on my '17 SS.

[@joewasmund5173]

Thank you! So they aren't original headlights that were then blacked out. They're brand new ADM headlights that were modified and then had a LHD beam pattern conversion. I went though UnspokenDesign on Instagram, but there are a couple of people that do it. I highly recommend him though, he was wonderful to work with. Just prepare your wallet and for a bit of a wait time to get them in your hands!

[@SvetStoyanov]

@@joewasmund5173 Sounds good - thank you!

[@thedalillama]

Geeze, I'm glad the guy made it home safely. Great car. Thanks!

[@sssteve176m7]

First, would like to thank you for protecting our way of life here in the US. It really takes commitment to do what you volunteered to do. Now for the car stuff. Love the color! 815 WHP is really pushing the LS3 internals to it's limits, I hope it lasts. I appreciate the list of mods for all of us that want to make our SS cars special. I also liked the production of the video, steps ahead of some of the video hacks I've watch recently. Good job man!

[@oskar6661]

As someone who has no interest in "muscle", it's nice to see a tastefully modded SS with the Holden transfer. Nice work.

[@joewasmund5173]

Thank you!

[@julionavascues6642]

Put a forced induction interchiller like I did on my GTO. That will keep your engine temps way down.

[@CHINGY1993]

rubbish

[@spawnneverland5334]

Awesome vid. What a beauty. Stoked to see her with the Holden logos. Great job! Cheers from Australia.

[@TheDantes12345]

Idk why people hated this car but all i can see is awesomeness. And its rare bc they dont make it anymore

[@JohnDoe-bc8wu]

Got a RPG-M had 14 miles on it. 1 of 18 in 2017. I wanted the UTE but not in America. It would have been a killer in the USA.

[@clipperbob960]

This guy is genuine and good karma has been placed on him for it.

[@madxmaxxine6552]

Great looking build and thank you for your service!

[@mcchicken9878]

Glad your enjoying you Holden its a beast i cant believe we dont make em anymore
