Nice car. It reminds me when the G8s came out. $93,000 is pretty pricey though. What does the SS cost there down under. Here it is about $45,000. Tried to talk my wife into getting one but she is stuck on SUVs. So we got a 14' SRX.

Same engine and drive line except we have bigger brakes (390mm 15.35" front & 372mm 14.64" rear) and the rear brakes also have torque vectoring which is a system that brakes the inside rear wheel when the car under steers in track mode so it better points the nose of the car into the turn effectively making it faster through the corners.

I've owned this car since early May 2014


































Your car I likey likey a lotey lotey. Very nice ride, now MOD that bad boy.

The Holden based SS has a few different options however all are the 6L engine not the LS3 6.2L

SS inc rego/insurance: 47,636
SSV inc rego/insurance: 51,586 (comes with bremo brakes etc)

take a look here: CarSales.com.au Holden VF V8

These are all the V8 options the Holden comes in, SSV Redline is the highest one i think.

Just finished installing an OTR air intake


FYI this could be made to fit a ZL1 if you change the radiator for the same one i have so that the filler cap is offset. This is on my HSV VF GTS.

Mine cost $94,500 inc rego/insurance, i got a good deal some are nearing this price now brand new....however there are some 2nd hand ones now around 85k
So 93K Aus = 77.5K USD w/1.20 currency conversion.

I do love the looks of this vehicle. Very nice!

You can get used ones for about 80-85k AUD now see www.carsales.com.au select hsv gts the gen f series so probably a lot cheaper than 77k USD

Absolute perfection, solid vehicle, love the Holdens. I was disappointed with the SS. When it came over I was hoping some variants like this gorgeous car.

That's a sweet car. That would take a chunk out of CTS V sales if they brought that here and priced it at Chevy prices.

It's a touch heavier than your ZL1 it uses the same Zeta platform...the cars are near identical.

4149.1 lbs HSV VF GTS
4120 lbs Camaro ZL1

So only 29.1 lbs more.

No problems with erratic MAF readings? Any surging?
