Finally!! They gave us SS guys some love!! If you don’t want to spend 25 to 35 grand on a SS. Get a G8 GT while you still can for under 20 grand. P.S!!!!! If you want to be real sneaky or just want to get 4dr 6.0 L76 RWD that you fill up your gas tank with smiles per gallon. Get a PPV CAPRICE!! Will run you under 10 grand. While you lack in the interior department. You will make up for it in the displacement. You are welcome!

[@tripsadelica]

Fear not...Holden Commodores were very popular in Australia and parts, here at least, are plentiful...genuine and non-OEM. BTW, the thick pillars were also a sore point with Aussie auto reviewers BUT they were there for a reason. Australia has a great road network in the cities, suburbs and the big rural areas BUT the roads in the outback can be really appalling. Holden didn't just make the SS model, they also made cooking models with V6 engines as well. The cars had to be designed to withstand the rigours of driving on outback roads and that's why the bodies are A-Grade tough with the big pillars. You can drive through the outback and see a lot of foreign-made cars sitting on the side of the road with dead suspension towers, broken at the firewall and other problems. Not Holdens. Holdens were designed, from the very first model in 1948, to be bloody tough.

If you don't catch the vents, it's definitely going to gap you at the red light. We need more V8 sedans like this

[@stib7365]

In us the ss is a ssv redline in Australia I've got the one below that vf 2 ssv no sunroof or magnetic ride or brembo brakes,2016 ssv go for 40 to 45000 aussie dollars about 30 us and red lines are going for about 55 which would be about 45 us ,over here prices are going up,I been into cars since 1970 and vf series 2 is a beast and the best ever made,our hsv vf gts has got lsa in it

A little more research would be good. Try those engine details for the 93-95 Caprice SS again.

[@Lukemasonmedia]

I would put the Holden badges on this if I got one. Pretty cool car tbh

[@white_zeddy]

If they brought back the SS right now, it would actually sell. The market for high performance cars is hot and Chevy needs to focus on that sleeper that everyone wants and anyone can have again

[@metalgearray6832]

It’ll only sell for a time and but then it’ll still get outsold by the hatchbacks and SUVs as usual. There’s only a certain crowd of people the SS attracts and most of them are on Centrelink.

[@GGBPhilly]

I’ve had one for about 3 years and it’s so great!

[@devncross]

How many miles when you got it and what are the payments if you have any

[@muffinatordlux]

Chev lumina ss in south africa.. Comes as a ute aswell.. There was a supercharged version too..

[@willm687]

Supercharged ones were under HSV

[@SirDankNewton]

A couple corrections, 2015-2017 had the option for a manual. And the price is more like $30k on average depending on options and miles. A low mileage 6MT is in the 40s all day long

[@shibyiscool21]

Finally! Thank you for putting this video out!!

[@robbodayobbo2417]

Im an aussie and have 2 incarnations of what you call a chevy ss.... but both are VERY different. The first is a 2010 SSV Sportwagon... (google for pics) a daily driver for my wife with plenty of mods to have looking sharp AND going hard enough to scare most people. My pride and joy is a 1984 holden commodore with a locally built 5.0 V8 badged a VH SL/E.... All steel and a luxury version (at the time) of an SS, which is quite rare nowadays... (for those interested 'vh sl/e walkaround' will show you my actual red devil) both cars are head turners and now that Holden is gone are reminders of "what used to be" The sound of a healthy V8, paired with a manual transmission and rear wheel drive still gives me goosebumps... Enjoy

[@brandonpullen3837]

I have a 2016 6spd manual and I love it. We will be parting ways soon though because I am getting 1 of the first 250 CT5 V Blackwings later this summer.

[@michaelrandy8764]

20-25k$? Uhmmm yeah maybe for one with a salvage title. Good clean examples go for 30-40k on the used market. I paid 36 for mine, and other than horrendous gas mileage I dont regret it

[@davidkeizer9381]

I absolutely love my 2017 Chevy SS. I just got it 2 months ago it dynoed at 720whp on E85 Magnuson supercharger and Texas Speed Goody's it was built for car shows only has 20k on it. First car that I've bought that cost more than my zero turn mower! Lol 🤣🍾

[@davidkeizer9381]

And with the air intake Hood anf the full Holden conversion with the Chrome blackout and the black chrome mono block rims it's not as much of a sleeper I get compliments every time I take it out.

I wish Chevy would come out with more. Chargers and CTVS are dope. But that was the more affordable and better power to weight in my opinion

[@haiUnderground]

It was the only modern performance sedan to weigh under 4k lbs from factory. Holden did a great job.

[@aussiedrone1511]

I just brought a Holden SS Ute and I swear its the best car I have ever drove!

[@sigma9326]

The SS has been popping up on multiple videos recently ... with them all saying they’re priced 20’s & 30’s ... I literally just checked ... they’re all 40+. Granted I’m filtering 6MT’s ... but the fact remains. Enthusiasts either can’t or won’t spend that type of money. Those who can go Dodge, or just go straight up German.

[@goodguy...badrep.]

Yep. Chevy, then Dodge, then BMW.

[@michaelg589]

There are very few options for a full size saloon WITH a manual gear box. Especially in the later years if the SS. In 2017, what else was there?? Nothing. Nothing at all.

The trailblazer SS was pretty tight. If they weren’t so expensive here in Alaska I’d have one right now and do cams and exhaust. Mad chop from a trailblazer 😂😂
