I own a 2015 Chevy SS. Bought it new back in the day. Currently there are 16,000 miles on the odometer. No mods have been added to the car. It has Chevy badges. There were only 12,000 of these cars produced, in years 2014 thru 2017. The car listed for $47,500 new. Currently the car carries a strong wholesale book. Last week I was offered $60,000 for the SS, I passed. The car continues to increase in value. It has become a Chevy cult legend. It seems like every day someone is complimenting the car and asking about the history. If you pull into a Chevy dealership, the car will draw a crowd. Just a great ride.

Great review! This guy definitely knows the car really well. It's one of the best reviews of the SS! Like he said, not only did the 2016-17 have the magnetic ride that can be adjusted with a mode dial, but it also changed the bi-modal exhaust note and changed the steering and accelerator settings. Three settings, Touring, Sport, and Performance. The Sport and Performance mode opens up the other two of the four exhaust tips to give it the more aggresive sound. There's also a lesser known/"secret" "Track" mode that can be accessed. This mode activates a launch setting and detunes the traction control some to allow more agressive driving and sliding around. These are things that most top sports cars probably have, but adds to what makes the SS sedan so unique and unexpected if you see one on the road... Again, great review. The guy knows this car!

Oh now that is a tough one. I guess for me, it would come down to 1st - if you truly need the AWD in your area. 2nd - how do you feel about hanging out at the gas pumps,. 3rd - how far do you plan on going with mods and you budget. Lastly is what exhaust note would you prefer most? For me both cars has fun factors that would be good with flipping a coin. In the end for me I would daily the WRX up here in the midwest, the SS would be a summer daily that would see rain but never snow. #lbm #dba

HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) took this base and built basically a street registered race car-the GTSR and the GTSR W1.... 680hp,race suspension and steering,larger wheels and brakes,much improved aero and Pirelli PZ Aero tyres off the showroom floor. Find a review of them.They will blow your mind as to what a practical,large sedan can be. GM had the basis of one of the best sleeper sedans ever,and dropped the ball. The next evolution would have been nuclear. RIP Commodore 🇦🇺 RIP Holden 🇦🇺🇦🇺

I purchased a MY2015 SSV Redline manual at the end of February. It has a 6 litre L77 engine and 65,000 km on the clock when I got it. This vehicle went into a performance shop on the Gold Coast in Australia. What I wanted was better performance without being a police magnet. a) Brembos and braided brake lines all round. b) Lowered approximately 25 mm and so the car looked 'balanced' on the road. For some reason, the stock version sits lower in the rear. c) Mild Cam upgrade d) 1" 3/4 ceramic coated headers / 100 cell cats / full 2.5 inch stainless steel Manta system / 4 new O2 sensors e) Ported and Polished heads. f) New lifters / buckets / DOD delete etc. g) OTR / Mafless tune h) Continental Max Contacts MC6 (staggered) Dyno readings were 317 RWKW @ 208 Kph and 644 nm Torque @178 Kph The total cost was Australian 70k on the road. I also own a 2008 VE SS manual with an L98 engine that I purchased in 2010 with 40,000 km on the clock. It is stock except for being lowered 35 mm. It has done a lot of low altitude flying including across Australia via the Nullarbor Plain and given me very little trouble. That VE now has 187 000 km on the clock and been fantastic to drive in regional Australia. There are a lot of people who knock the VE /VF Commodores. The trick is to keep about 50 kg to 100 kg over the rear axle. With a few tweaks they are both a bloody great car to drive.

That's because the SS is a base model V8. The performance version the HSV gts or gtsr had lsa and ls9 in them, different front bumper and rear with diffusers. Had better suspension setup and far bigger break and carbon fiber panels. Shame America never got it love seeing you guys rock the holdens. FYI HSV is holdens to what M series is to bmw

The “refresh” they did really neutered the cars looks. I think it was 2017 right before they killed one of the best cars GM ever made. The refresh made the car look more rental car than ever. It shaved the panels damn near flat. It took away the personality of the first gen. I will always have a place in my heart for this car.
