2005 VZ SSZ Commodore

[kingcat119]

Hi all,

First time poster, long time lurker of Just Commodores. Thought I would finally post up some pics of my ride.

MAKE: Holden
MODEL: Commodore SSZ
COLOUR: Sting Red
ENGINE: 5.7 LS1
TRANS: 6 SPEED MANUAL
DIFF: Standard
MODS: Slotted rotors, 4-1 Hurricane Extractors, Hi-flow cats, 2.5 inch Hurricane catback with 3 inch dump tips, VCM OTRCAI & VCM MAFLESS Tune by Power Torque. It's putting out 235RWKW.
FUTURE MODS: Rip Shifter, re-paint rear spoiler (peeling), VZ R8 Clubby rims and maybe a baby cam.

I'm pretty happy with her as she's my daily. I might get rid of it in a couple of years and get into a VE 6.0litre or an LS3 HSV. Over the past couple of years it's been a really good car. I had to replace the CD stacker as it jammed, replaced steering wheel controls as one of the buttons broke, Nolathane bushes in the front end due to wear and tear and various other things.

Anyway, enjoy the pics!

Cheers

Chris

Nice car and the wheels look great against the red.
For a daily driver looks like you keep it looking great, good work.

Thanks! I'm hoping I can find some VZ Clubby wheels for it next!

Looking awesome buddy! Was thinking of getting the red interior and regret not getting it now! Tell you what - I wouldn't sell it. Keep it. It's a rare car and damn good lookin! Cheers buddy :beer chug:

Thanks guys!

coodawg - OTR and tune is well worth it! Powertorque do a great job and it will set you back $1500.

derro - lovin' your red beast as well! I was looking for a Turismo Blue 6.0L when I was hunting around but couldn't pass up the red leather when I saw this!

None. Rare as rocking horse poo. I found 1 at a dealership at Village Motors Petrie (Brisbane) about 1 month after I bought mine. It was a 6 speed and had black leather with about 70,000kms on it. I was so annoyed. Oh well, the red rocket has served me well since. Turismo SS's still have a special place in my heart though!!
