That is a great machine! I have the Chevy SS older brother, the Pontiac G8 and bought it new in 2009 and it is still a great car. Of course both vehicles were made by GM's Holden Division in Australia. It is a shame that GM has discontinued both cars. They really filled a gap for a powerful American four door sedan. Thank you for explaining your mods and a great video!

It handles great, has great sound, and is reasonably quick. I’m trying to figure out what mods aside we can get away with in California that won’t be a major problem once you have to smog it.

Why does everybody say GM did a terrible job of advertising this car? We only got it because Holden needed 12-15 thousand exports to bring the manufacturing cost down just so the Aussies could build it for themselves. It was never advertised here, and GM wasn’t going to advertise it here because they weren’t really thrilled with the deal that brought it here to begin with knowing before the deal that they were going to shutter the Holden plant in Elizabeth. Besides, it was a distraction from their other performance cars they didn’t want.

AWDTBSS No it's not safe to say that, shitferbrains. What part of they never intended to advertise it don't you get?

Join the Chevy SS forum, maybe you'll learn something useful about your car, including correct information.

I drive my 15 everyday. Mine's a manual and I love it. I bought it new and have about 40k miles on it. No mods since it's my daily, but I might do some things in the future. I would say that the seats are the biggest drawback in that they are too tall and oddly shaped. I will probably get some camaro or vette seats to fix that.

@ꫝꪖzꪖrᦔꪮꪊડ well lucky you! 15th birthday you say? Guess you're gonna have to wait to get a liscense first lol!! In my opinion the 14 and the 15 are the best looking ones so I would go with either or. Keep in mind....14's only came with auto as the 15's come with either auto or manual and plus the 15's and so on come with touring mode and others that you can change it to. 14's have brembo brakes only in the front compared to the 15-17 that gave brembos in the front and back but the 14's prove to stop 6 feet faster than the other models which is crazy. Plus the 14 and 15 models are slightly faster than the 16 and 17 models which is also crazy. In my opinion....even though manual is fun, the automatic are faster. Plus on the autos you can use the shifter as a slapstick as well as paddle shifters behind the steering wheel if you wanna do your own shifting. So yeah I like my 14 the best but the 15's I like also. Good luck and enjoy it!

In Australia we have the HSV version of that car and they did have the LSI and the car went out with a bang called the w1 with ls9 in it in Australia we never got the option of the corvette or the tomorrow until after the car had stop production in building cars in Australia HSV a converting the Camaro to right-hand drive for us but I've always think it's very selfish of the factories that never gave us those options to begin with so that Commodore or SS became part of our muscle car and Ford had the Falcon in Australia

One of which is simply the fact that it was too expensive. Its sticker price was just above $50,000, and it’s an amazing value for that money, touting luxury car goodies at a discount price. The problem is that you could only get the SS with all that stuff, and for that price. Had there been a stripped-down SS for $35,000 - something that could compete with the Dodge Charger, which is pretty popular - I think it could’ve done well. But I think Chevy nixed this idea because it wouldn’t have made financial sense. The SS was built in Australia, and surely it wasn’t cheap to pay relatively pricey Australian labor to make the car, then add in shipping costs from such a faraway land. My thinking is Chevy had to pump it full of features so they could jack up the price, as a "stripped-down" SS never would’ve been profitable - even if it had been popular. Another Aussie icon Holden dead by fucking morons running Holden into the ground by making poor decisions and not moving with the times! RIP Aussie muscle cars......
