brought my first v8, and it's a caprice ppv

2011 chevy caprice ppv with 99,000 miles

[@philip4193]

Just bought one of these a few weeks ago over here in Australia; a 2017 Holden Caprice with the 6.2L LS3 V8 under the hood. Here they were marketed as a luxury limo and were fitted with the fancy full leather interior & all the electronic bells & whistles and a lot more chrome, but for a big & heavy long wheelbase sedan they certainly get up & boogie when you stomp on the gas, and handle surprisingly well for a big car. My plans for it are very similar to yours; exhaust, AFM lifter-delete kit & a tune for starters, and maybe a cam & intake as well while the heads are off. The standard wheels here were 19" alloys on the '17s so I might stick with those for now as they look pretty good and maintain the stock-standard sleeper look. Looking forward to watching all your follow-up vids now to see how your mods are progressing!

[@nastymk3]

I just lowered the car and really like the way the car handles and look

[@hectick_b]

I’ve had mine for a year, I got it for our new baby. I love its super safe rubber floors plenty of space for the car seat and v8. Mine came “de copped” so it had no cop stuff inside regular center console

[@nastymk3]

I like the caprice a lot

[@valisa7207]

I’m happy for you brother. God bless you with a good car.

[@nastymk3]

Money well spent forsure

[@Equinsu_Ocha]

Damn that thing is clean. You ruined traffic heading back home. NJ uses those as ghost cars on the highways.😅

[@DMT267]

Looks awesome. It'll last you for years to come. Very popular here in Australia. Production has now ceased. They were known as Holden Statesman / Caprice. There were electrical gremlins in the first series. All the best bud.

[@Kc_abm]

We need a guy like you who can ship parts to the US to us for a benefit your way obviously 💰 you can’t find anything for these cars unless you get a parts car. Everything is discounted.

[@Torquematterz]

Congrats man, I’m planning on picking up a 2014 this coming weekend. After driving a new 5.0 I realized how much I wanted a V8

[@nastymk3]

I really enjoy the car. I just put an 10% smaller undrive pulley and got it tuned. The performance is night and day difference.

[@ESPLTD322]

Now you just need a Crown Vic to add to it. Not as fast but still a lot of fun and super roomy and super reliable. And they only come with one engine, the 4.6L V8 that sounds gorgeous. It don’t have to be a police interceptor either, it can be a civilian one, or a Mercury Grand Marquis. Those are super comfortable.

[@nastymk3]

Can't do ford bruh, gm for life

[@cjls1z28]

Crown Vic like most are Fords are dogshit

[@randyjenkins4289]

I want one so bad!!😢

[@nastymk3]

Get one

[@Carla_314]

I got a 2014 white one a few months ago. I’ve picked up the Holden badges, grill and Kooks headers for now……I know, typical. 😂 I love it tho….only thing I don’t like is I don’t have a center console. I have had a couple of drinks slide straight to the back and splash every where. Thank goodness for the vinyl flooring. 😂

[@nastymk3]

I need full exhaust and intake. I just got the car tuned with hp tuners and it made a huge difference in performance

[@StayPcuh]

Welcome to the team bro

[@itsyaboimat2393]

Guys I'm getting ready to pick up a 2017 anything I need to look out for? its a V8 if that matters

[@nastymk3]

Dod lifters is the problem. I got my dod turned off through the a tune and hp tuners.

[@ballingonabudgetlsbuilder5930]

❤ good pick up bro I love mine I got a 2012 doing a LSA swap on it

[@nastymk3]

A white caprice in my area pulled up on me with a lsa making 800 whp, quick car and sounded good through the stock mufflers

[@MelodyMan69]

Made in Australia. Called Holden Caprice, here. Exported these to US. The LS V8 is best with Exhaust upgrade and tunned by experts. Dont know about a CAM. That will need Professional Tuning to be useful.

[@nastymk3]

I just got it tuned with the stock intake and exhaust, and that tuned made a huge performance difference

[@MelodyMan69]

@@nastymk3 Cool. In Australia, the LS3 V8 has been tuned to 450 kW. With Twin Turbos and engine work, I have seen Dyno runs of 1800 HP. Company is called HPF (Horse Power Factory) Dandenong, Melbourne, Australia. You might find some stuff on the web and KZbin.

[@bobsmoot8454]

Sleeper, take it down to Delaware to RPM and have them “breath” on the engine and get some super shock absorbers and top notch tires

[@nastymk3]

I put coilovers on the car and yes I need new tires. These all weather cop tires suck during hard acceleration, just a spin fest

[@RickLBZ]

That's a clean 9C3! Congrats.

Thanks

I saw this on CARGURU 🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾! I was eyeing it too!! Dope car !! CLEAAAANN!!

[@nastymk3]

When this car popped up on carguru I just had to buy it

[@Rocko_Washington]

@@nastymk3 Hahaha! Glad you did. And, these I’m told make big power with a few upgrades just like the tune you have on it. I have never had a V8 too and this is my next choice- I have a twin turbo V6 - SHO. It’s nice but that V8 sound is even better.

[@nastymk3]

@@Rocko_Washington mpg is terrible, but it's about smiles per gallon. Got the intake and about to order headers and 3" exhaust

Where’ did you buy it off? Thing is clean asf

What u have is an ex police car that’s why it had the wires and the police hubcaps, clean car

[@nastymk3]

Yeah I was told the car was owned by an detective

[@flagcityparts]

you also have a second battery on the right side in the rear quarter. If you remove it, you shave off 67 lbs

[@nastymk3]

No passenger side secondary battery in the trunk. Maybe detective addition ppv cars don't get a 2nd battery

[@flagcityparts]

@nastymk3 9c1 or the chevy caprice ppv from ohio, Kentucky,Indiana and Michigan have a secondary battery in the trunk it's to run the lights and computer systems if you don't believe me there's a renegade racing video on the matter alone with others it's how I ended up with a extra battery for my g8.. you probably don't know that there's also around 96lbs of extra 12 gauge or bigger wires that ran the lights sirens and accessories hidden within a caprice. Every department had different specifications for what was put in their patrol car.

[@nastymk3]

All those big wires are spread out in the trunk. I removed the aluminum cage that was in the trunk

[@topdollarmobile7460]

Yo I just saw your video about the blazing motorsports tune. Did you do anything else to the car besides a DOD delete? or is it completely stock just tuned? Also is it the blazing high performance shop in Durham?

[@nastymk3]

The dod has been tuned out and the car runs really strong on e85. I know there in NC, I email my tunes and logs to them

[@Chiefgeargrinder]

Good Luck. The 6L80 Transmissions in those have high failure rates.

[@nastymk3]

I had know idea. I'm a change the rear-end to a 3.27 or 3.45 camaro rear-end

[@Chiefgeargrinder]

@@nastymk3 It's not the traditional rear end in that car. you have 2 rear control arms 2 CV Joints that turn the rear axle (no drive shaft) Just like the Corvette. Those control arms are prone to rotting out. I changed both of mine already. If you get a very loud ticking noise you'll swear lifters because of the AFM System but more times than not it's coming from the bell housing. I changed that out to. the car now has 95K on it. No need to change up gears the car will hit the limiter at 162 MPH at 5500RPM.

[@nastymk3]

The other caprice and g8s ive seen do the rear end swap have more than half a second in the quarter mile and some cars have reduced there 0-60mph by 1 second

[@Chiefgeargrinder]

@@nastymk3 if you want to swap the Axle Differential go ahead. Not worth the effort really. All you really need is a better tune to get the job done.

[@nastymk3]

I got a tune from blazing high performance and it made a huge difference

[@robertg.3555]

nice . i have a g8 . your car is fast. if your keeping the wheels, paint the weights and aluminum valve stems black

That's exactly what I'm a going to do

She’s a beaut.

Prediction, you will not be happy with the 8 mpg that car gets!

[@nastymk3]

Gas mileage is definitely not good and I've been running e85 lately

[@17forever64]

@@nastymk3 we had them where I worked, it was really fast, but they only gave us so much gas each month and if you went over, you got fussed at. So we had two of those cars and no one would drive them. I had a v6 impala and it got pretty good mileage , but it was not fast. We. Went to the ford Taurus and I hated that car, there was no room in it and every time it rained the doors would hold water inside them!😂😂😂

[@AndrewMOJObook]

Mine is a 2012 and gets 34 average on the highway I've never used ethanol in it since I got it. Funny thing is mine came from NJ but ended up at a Subaru dealership in Oklahoma City for 12 hours before I found it, researched it, reserved it, went in the next day and bought it. I've had the DOD Delete AFM inactivated, Rotofab CAI, new front bumper and bumper cover and radiator, and tint, and some other stuff done. Traded in a 1980 white Cadillac Eldorado for it. The PPV is a blast!

[@nastymk3]

I'm averaging like 14 mpg with e85 after mine tune. The car gets better mpg with 93 octane but it's slower. We've had a few 30 degree days and the car starts and runs great with the e85

[@17forever64]

@@nastymk3 yeah, I think the guys that used them said they got about 10mpg and I’m sure they were driving them like a crazy person. We switched to the new Ford Taurus, it was a V6 and very cramped inside when you had all of your equipment on. Then they got the supervisors Ford SUV’s. They had much more room. It wasn’t an issue on the MPG until they started only giving us a certain amount of gas each month, if you went over your Lt. Would lose him mind!😂
