[@Jimster481]

@@iSOBigD The initial kit + the canned tune + a dyno Tune was $7200. Then I paid another $1600 for a smaller pulley + belt + high flow cats + custom X pipe exhaust. First time made 520WHP, then it made 597WHP. However the issue is actually with airflow under the hood and it was hotter outside vs the first tune. With a normal outside temp (not 92+F) it will do a bit over 600WHP. I have a P1-X Procharger w/ Tri-Core Intercooler upgrade + 1 size smaller pulley. Max boost 8.5PSI. SOLO High Flow Cats. Tune on HP Tuners. 93 Pump. Stock Fuel pump.

@@Jimster481 Thanks for the info. I think that's a good power bump for sure, and you get that nice exhaust sound with it too. I was curious because I like this type of car. I got a 5.0 V8 with 420 HP stock, but there's just no superchargers made for it unfortunately so there isn't much more power to make. I wouldn't necessarily switch to the SS but it sounds like a great choice for an affordable larger sedan with a nice non-turbo V8 and RWD.

[@Jimster481]

@@iSOBigD You're welcome. My goal was to have a fast car I can take anywhere with my family that also has factory like reliability. At the power level that I am at the car has factory reliability; most parts are stock. Mine has BiModal exhaust too so I can turn the exhaust "off". I put resonators on the exhaust to counter the increased loudness of the high flow cats so that Touring mode is still quiet like it was from factory. Therefore I can go on a long road trip and not deal with exhaust drone. In the city I drive it in sport mode which has the exhausts open. It uses a butterfly system for the straight through portion of the mufflers under load. Overall I get 20.9MPG Highway and around 15.4 MPG City (unless I drive it real hard, then I get like 12 city, 18 City is possible with grandma driving).

From Australia here This is the Holden Commodore, it’s as Aussie to us as Vegemite. They go very hard in V8 form, you can also get an SV6 which is a 3.6L with 210kW (280hp) and 350Nm. The latest generation of these have 304kW (407hp) in base form and the HSV models now go up to 435kW (580hp)

[@TonyMurillo-nf8hk]

Yeah y'all make them look cool but these are not popular at all here nobody wants them we have tons of other muscle car options.

[@chrlz904]

Except it isnt, because journalists lauded it as one of the best handling sedans ever, often drawing comparisons with the E39 M5. Furthermore, the Lucid Air engineers used the E39 M5 and the Chevy SS as their handling benchmark, which is so cool.

@@zackbrinkley1442 Back in '99 when I was 16, my pops worked at a GMC dealership. One night he came home with a brand new Typhoon. It had major hail damage on pretty much every inch of the body panels, but no broken glass. Anyway, he said they couldn't sell it because of the damage, and he got to take it home overnight then it was going back to GM. We went for a ride in an industrial area that was empty because it was at night, and pops did about 3 or 4 pulls from a dig and a bunch of getting up to about 30-40mph and standing on the gas. Of course I was blown away at the speed and how hard it pushed me back into the seat. I remember him telling me it takes off so fast because it's all wheel drive, so the tires won't break loose and it just hooks.💨 It was fckn awesome for sure. I don't remember hearing any kind of exhaust now that I think about it. It's prob better off it was quiet since it was only a 6 cyl 🤣🤣🤣

What do you mean? The G8/VE is on the same platform (and is largely the same) as the SS/VF, meaning that they are pretty much the same generation. If you mean that there was no facelift, look again. In 2016 they got some changes.

No lie my favorite was in 2010 at the Hess station by my old house a mid aged lady had a white one. The lines said rwd but when I asked her about it she gave me a tour and I was stuck on it. 6 years ago I had to make a decision and acquired a 13 Caprice PPV not the 6.2 but the L77 is a gem. I can run LS3 down by attack. The hotter it gets the less power, while the 6.0 is a workhorse with consistency regardless of heat soak.
