Thank you for the review of the SSZ, Ross. I agree that I like the VF’s way more but the owner has turned this into a great looking car with plenty of power. It’s also a great sounding car in a manual. Sure looked like a lot of fun to drive and a great car for someone to buy. Great review again.

[@stephenandwendyfowler5951]

I own a ve ssv series 1. I think its an awesome car. Not sure why you dislike them so much

[@petermanuel7128]

@@stephenandwendyfowler5951 I simply said I like the VF design why more than the VE. How did you get “not sure why you dislike the VE’s so much” out of that?

[@MartinJones123]

Always have loved these VE's, especially modified ones like these... Great review 👍

[@RossReviewsau]

Glad you like them! This was one of my fav VEs

[@adamlee9071]

Yep the ve looks better than the vf for sure,the front end are rear end just look tougher,the series 2 interior is nice too

[@brockholder902]

I’m in love with the VE’s, mines cammed and makes 430hp. They’re tuff cars !

[@RossReviewsau]

They go well

[@chrisflorian4308]

Thanks Ross for this review. I agree, the sound of this V8 with the look of the car (badass) and a manual gearbox never gets old for me. One of the best combinations for cars in the fact of driving fun. Best regards Chris from Germany

[@RossReviewsau]

Couldn't agree more! Gotta love a manual in a v8

[@bmac9886]

Nice. Prefer my BA XR8 ute but cant ignore quality when i see it. Great quality sound and ride from an oz built beast. Well done to the owner.

[@RossReviewsau]

Fair enough! Love an Aussie V8

[@dw2176]

that sounds sick! clean car, agree about the interior. I really dislike series 1 interiors, series 2 is a bit more refined in terms of quality, for some reason series 1 feels older than VY/VZ

[@RossReviewsau]

agreed mate

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Totally agree with the video title - it sounds absolutely epic! Also great aesthetic upgrades - though personally I'd be worried about how sacked out it is on Aussie roads, it sure looks the part!

[@RossReviewsau]

Seemed to soak up the road.. but yes the noise 😍🔥

[@aussieadventures9934]

Thanks again for the Review mate I enjoyed bringing it down and enjoyed seeing it from another perspective

[@RossReviewsau]

Any time! Was an amazing car 🇦🇺👀

[@wizzfizz6800]

Hey mate very tuff SSV , love the wheels, looks so tuff with that OEM++ look . Not even including that sound , goddamn!! pulls like a freight train it seems . btw what front lip is that?? looks great and simple really trying to look for it!

[@usercwo6]

Awesome Review Ross, my favorite Holden has always been a ve, the vx is a close second and the third is vz but i have always have dreamed of having a modified ve so awsome video.

[@RossReviewsau]

Thanks for sharing!

[@russo187]

What a beast...500rwhp is bloody impressive for a NA...my bros VE SS has 450rwhp and is a weapon

[@RossReviewsau]

It’s very impressive! Very fun street car

[@OlMG91]

What type of weapon?

[@liamdeerz]

​@@OlMG91 one with a lumpy shaft

[@peaner083]

​@@liamdeerzHahaha yep!!

[@pete508]

This thing sounds awesome & being all black with that tough looking bonnet just takes it to a whole new level,a very nice car indeed the owner has done well & I thoroughly enjoyed this vid cheers bro.

[@RossReviewsau]

Cheers Pete! Was probably one of the nicest VE cars I’ve seen yet!

[@user-gd7qh5uy7l]

Thank you for the great review Ross, love your channel. Keep up the 500hp V8 Aussie car reviews..

[@RossReviewsau]

More to come! Appreciate you

[@ronanpaulwiniatamartin4518]

Phat Holden and sounds tuff cheers Ross keep em coming

More on the way 👏

[@petebeat1510]

Ross always does a killer job on the Commodore reviews!

[@RossReviewsau]

🫶

[@Matthew330ba]

It’s a very nice car, sounds absolutely mint for one of those engines. Shame about the 3 shifts to 100, would be at least 1/3 sec quicker without that shift. Wonder how it goes down the quarter. Defs a beast

[@wizzfizz6800]

Nice! I have an sv6 z series in alto grey myself. By far the best looking VE

[@RossReviewsau]

Good choice! They look goof

[@nicklazarakis4837]

Sounds fucking great. Better than any ev crap. Need to play ACDC while driving.

[@RossReviewsau]

Amen brother

[@graemeroughley7588]

VF series II SS LS3 is the one you want. I have a tuned black manual and it’s all class.

[@steve1714]

If you leave the engine stock I agree. Once cammed the 6.0 L77 and LS3 are identical engines apart from the 0.2L, maybe 5kw difference

[@timthewhiskynut477]

Always preferred the VE exterior styling to the VF, more angular and more aggressive. VF interior is a different story of course. That said, don't like the bonnet or eyelids on this one but the drivetrain makes up for it.

[@wizzfizz6800]

yeah the angling, fake vents on the VF is a turn off.

[@adamlee9071]

💯 the ve looks better for sure

[@peaner083]

I definitely agree Tim. All I really want in my VE is leather seats instead of the cloth.

[@adamlee9071]

@peaner083 that's easy man

[@peaner083]

@@adamlee9071 Yeah just the old $$ thing atm hey. Hopefully soon though.

[@timthewhiskynut477]

VE1 interior isn't perfect, but it's a hell of an upgrade from the VZ interior which looks like it's from the 80s now.

[@taaffey6908]

Faraone cams are the best in w.a no doubt. Have one in my ls1 460rwhp through a 4l65e with untouched heads on 98. Bloke is a seriously good mechanic

[@RossReviewsau]

nice one!

[@brettstuchbery1672]

Awesome stuff Ross, good to see this N/A V8 review but I was sad seeing it being shifted at only 6000rpms haha... Looking forward to seeing if we get to catch up with my little N/A combo seeing how you go shifting it closer to 8000rpms at full noise... :D

[@RossReviewsau]

Last thing I want is it to go sideways on me… just do what feels right

[@brettstuchbery1672]

@@RossReviewsau yeah fair enough mate, the combo sounded like a lot of fun to cruise around in. :)

[@nickherbert6520]

Gotta love the sound of that Holden 😈🔥

NA V8 Power is the best. It's why I love driving my NA Jeep SRT. INSTANT TORQUE!

[@RossReviewsau]

It’s a great power train 💯

[@markblackwell7927]

Impressive power....for an NA....Boy you love ya manuals....great review....look forward to more....TUFGNF

[@RossReviewsau]

[@mrnicktoyou]

LS engines, when cammed sound the best.

[@RossReviewsau]

They go very well

[@missinglink4205]

I called the ve the billion dollar baby, like you said that's fire perfect amount of power for street looks a million bucks, kudos to the owner👍 also that bonnet I want it for my wm so if owner is here what build sheet looks like and price?👍🇦🇺🍻

[@RossReviewsau]

Definitely a dream VE.. I’m not the biggest ve fan but I’d love this one

[@adamlee9071]

​@RossReviewsau yeah I can't say that enough I've noticed..the ve looks tougher than a vf,the interior on the vf is better.Obviously u know the vf is a ve with different bolt on's right?

[@runslaTe]

Great review mate..it gets down

Glad you enjoyed it

Very mint street car

[@kylehocking420]

what makes the series 1 not as good/ im looking very hardin nz for a manual commodre v8 and its been tough (both variety and price) but for me the series 1 ve's are good value

[@robhardimon6140]

Looks awesome except the bonnet. 500rwhp might be a happy dyno I'm thinking. Nonetheless it sounds, looks and seems to go pretty well. Manual is an absolute bonus with these

[@RossReviewsau]

each thier own.. i loved this build

[@adamlee9071]

Mine is 500rwhp n/a l77 manual,with good heads and cam and a tuner that knows what he/she is doing it's pretty common.Nothing like a full power engine without forced air induction

​​@@adamlee9071Nice! Iam at 450rwhp in my manual VE l77 .....I definitely wanna crack that 500 one of these days🤘

[@RossReviewsau]

We don’t get much rain 🤣🇦🇺

[@EVOETR1]

I’m sure the VE GTS review Vs the C63 AMG also had the same bonnet. Awesome review and I agree the VE series 2 was a better looking car and love the n/a.

[@RossReviewsau]

was a VF GTS (different bonnet)

[@vichetkim5533]

The VK was Brocky's favorite but all the best finding a group A to do a KZbin video on.

[@RossReviewsau]

Let’s hope one day

[@MrBobbit666]

Yeah but you like the look of the au tells where your taste comes from bro series 1 ve looks better outside factory I reckon some of the inside of series2 is better I'm a fan of minimalistic but more functional

[@billythekid2281]

So all them mods, and zero to 100 is the same or slower than a standard one?

[@RossReviewsau]

traction issue* MUCH FASTER at speed

[@lk8300]

I'm a ford man with na fg but I would take an ss or hsv in heartbeat if it wasn't a xr6T

[@RossReviewsau]

Can’t deny the appeal of a V8 eh

[@CamberClub]

What roads do you go out to in Perth? Think I saw a bit of obrian in there.

[@gregoryrobinson1004]

Also the catch can setup is from where and can we get it in America

[@adamlee9071]

VE ssv's look tough...N/A engine power,love it,the bonnet lets it down,the standard bonnets look real nice on the ve ss,makes it look slick and low,i love the rear wing and skirts,can anyone chime in where they are from please?

[@RossReviewsau]

i dig the bonnet lol but each their own.. mint example this was

[@adamlee9071]

@RossReviewsau yeah looks mint,sounds mint.. very nice

Nice 👍

[@JohnMcCoy36]

Hi Ross, awesome review on the VE series 2! How was the mantic clutch in this? Was it like factory or super heavy? Cheers.

[@RossReviewsau]

Was a bit stiff but not to bad to use

[@JohnMcCoy36]

@RossReviewsau any good as a daily clutch ? Or purely weekend driver?

[@avaliacarros7739]

A version of Australian Chevrolet Omega that never came to Brazil. Pity!

[@RossReviewsau]

Very much soo!

[@gregoryrobinson1004]

What's the difference between this and the 08 09 Pontiac G8gt we got the caprice 2011 to 2017 I think this is the shorter version?

[@RossReviewsau]

Pontiac G8 is pretty similar to this I believe.. basically the same platform

[@Barra.The.World.]

Bro we need to see a done up XR8 BA / BF Or FG XR8 that sounds nice beefy and something that will blow the brains out of people !

[@RossReviewsau]

I did the orange one and not many people watched it sadly.. easily the best FG xr8 I’ve done… that xr8 guy

[@Barra.The.World.]

@@RossReviewsau yeah but I'm talking something thats gonna be louder than a Maloo, some people may laugh at this but I don't care.

Awesome. Only better sounding thing is an NA ported rotary !

[@j.rriggersholdencommodores8641]

It sounds like a 6.2L SS V8 LS2

[@shonyfreshayzzz]

The L76 and L77 alare very similar to the Ls2 if you look it up that's probably why L77 was an adapted version of the LS2

[@Seymour_butts]

6.2 were ls3. The 6.0 was ls2 L76 and L77 were both 6.0 cathedral ports.

[@JohnWinzil]

Ls3 has rectangular ports

[@Seymour_butts]

@JohnWinzil my bad, I had it the wrong way around. Ls1-ls2 had cathedral ports. Ls3-l76-l92 were rectangular and also Flow better. 👍

6secs is normal. This is the 11th modified Holden in Ross’s six second club. A 13 sec car if it could get a decent take off.

[@frogsta360]

Surely could get into the 12s?

[@MrTroytroy]

@@frogsta360 prepped track - yep

[@JohnWinzil]

If it can't do better than 13 it's a waste of time and money

[@devin7632]

13 seconds? I ran 12.4 at 115mph on 500tw tires. 2009 g8 gt with 400whp. That car Definitely has a low 12 in it

[@MrTroytroy]

@@devin7632 if it’s running 6secs 0-100 it can ONLY run a 13-14. It will need to be low 5’s to get into the 13’s, 4secs for 12sec (on street tyres on the street, no burnouts and not relying on unicorn stats of that magical 1/50 launch and perfect traction record that can’t be often repeated. Sure It’s possible to get a 12 - just relies on a bunch of planets to align
