tuff looking SS. loving the bootlip spoiler

At this point I figure whinging about Chev badges isn't going to get me anywhere. Rest of the car looks good, like the red SS badges against the black paint. Nice power figure too.

unclepaulie

i like the red badges
not keen on bowtie

VTR

this

Looks tidy, would paint that chrome strip in the grill black tho... nice power figure for a cam n tune aye,i need more ls2 in my wh lol

Front bowties not too bad but the rear one ruins it, debadge the boot just leave the red ss badge. Looks gd tho

Bug Boy

I like the red SS badges but what about a red Holden badge instead?

XQU53

Haha plenty of hate for the bowtie...oh well! Oh and personally I dont like the size of the Holden badges, far too big on the VE's.
Cheers for the compliments too though!

euro540

it's powered by a chev is it not, so why is everyone having a cry when people put chev badges on them

mark1989

because if it was a chevorlet it would have been badged like it from the factory, it came with holden badges when brand new, therefore its a holden. quite simple really

gutless

L98 being a modified version of the L76, Being Holdens version of GMs Gen IV 6.0L and being Released in only Holdens and 3 Holden Exports(1 Pontiac,2 Chevrolet) would sound a bit silly to rave on about it really being a Chev engine when LS are GM engines to be distributed to whatever cars/trucks they see fit.

This being said, i like the look better than Holden badges lol.

ajr1990

more pictures would be good

Otherwise it is one sexy car!

clutch-it

i like it

anwonystylez

Just debadge the whole car?

But on the other hand, it is damn nice.

8URVTEC

looks mean

dan-828

only 310kw with how much you would of spent? bit riped off, my dads SSV ute puts out 350kw (479 HP) and its only had minor mods done to and just a tune on the dyno :S strange..

STIFLER

Friggin wicked car bud, if mine sounds half as good as yours i'll be stoked - FKI 17

mitch-10-02

I prefer the other one. with the green stripe. only because the wheels look better haha

ive seen both of those out in person and they sound pretty nuts..

haydyhart

wheres this at? i wanna hear one of them before i get my ute cammed

HGJAS350

Yet put one on a Torana, HQ, HG, ect and its cool and or no one says anything.

Just sayin

GTS33SOM

Probably cause there letting people know they have had a engine conversion... Not bragging about a oem part.

XQU53

Thats rear wheel kw's too. But probably spent about $7000 performance wise including the exhaust and clutch. 350rwkw's I highly doubt without any internal work (cam, etc.) Happy dyno maybe? But I guess strip times are the best indicator too


Haha cheers Ryno...all in time bud, you'll be hooked and wont be able to not give in to a cam!


Live down the coast mate. Can meet up somewhere if you wanted to? That or call in to Hi-Torque down the coast. Nearly always a cammed VE of some sort down there that you could listen to

Cheers for all the comments too guys...really happy with the car and its plenty of fun. I only went the bowties due to looking better on the car than the dinner plate Holden badges..not trying to turn it into/claim it as a Chev at all

8700s14

Those Chev badges are awesome

benji_xrt

Looks awesome!

tas_ae71

there are plenty of people who put 1j's into silvias, dont see anybody recommending putting toyota badging on them.

+1 to badgeless rear.

it just seems a bit try hard? or sick kunt spec...

53XXN_ST80

Dunno bout it being 'try hard' its a 400+ rwhp cammed 8...good power and amazing noise,especially when under load

Maybe itd be try hard if this were a 6...

X1000000 to debadge the whole boot

XQU53

Cheers bud, you had it have ya? Yea also considered debadging the rear and only leaving the red SS badges on the rear doors. Duno see how we go, might end up debadging

HGJAS350

The argument is that it came from the factory a Holden, so a commodore can't have a chev badge, but a HK-T-G, HQ, Torana ect can. Please explain.

4x4_Commodore

Completely false unless you are talking about flywheel power. Then you are cutting yourself short

I challenge you to prove otherwise. You need either a cam swap, stroker or forced induction to hit that mark 'cheaply'

My dyno-happy SS with OTR, headers and exhaust makes 280rwkw. A mid size came will take that to 310-320 and a big cam (237/242 for example) will hit the 350-360 mark.

OT: Nice car as always! Need more photos up tho

haydyhart

yea mate i live in burleigh. u ever go to the spit or anything else on weekends?

ive had a qoute of hitorque for a cam and tune

01BEN

honestly, I usualy fucking despise chevrolette badges on a holden, but I fucking love your car. the 6l must go hard with the that size cam

53XXN_ST80

Not sure what u mean by have i had it... if u mean have i heard it, no i just know what these sound like with a decent cam in it... i have a genIII Wh stato with hi flowed twin 2.5 inch exhaust,tri-y headers and 228/230 cam...

Yeh i love cammed 8's lol

Those cars came OEM with a 350 Chev(iirc).
