    Default SS Caprice!?!?

    Got home today, went to open the door, in the reflection I see a White MW stato/caprice... Or so I though... I turned around and it had a big chevy badge on the front grille, a lip spoiler on the boot (in black) as well as a few other little black highlights here and there... AND SS badges on the rear doors.
    It looked like one of those test cars before they send them over to America... Wouldn't mind seeing those on our roads, it looked pretty damn hot!! Wasn't too keen about the black highlights on the white... Its a bit too classy for that kind of look.
    Not sure if it was the real thing... Or if this guy just decided to whack some SS badges on his stato/caprice, but either way.... I wouldnt mind one!

    But wait... There's more!!


    But that's not all!!!

    I think the last JC cruise they saw a Saudi export HSV Impala Caprice SS (stopped at the GM plant).... heh. Basically just a Caprice, but yes they do leave the factory that way. South Africa has them badged as Chev's, so it's not impossible there's a Chev Caprice SS. It just wouldn't be an Aus delivered car.

    Yep 99.99% sure they're export only, I was wondering why they wouldnt bring them out here, but theres already the V8 version, plus the Grange.
    I'm sure you'd be able to get all the bits and pieces to 'make' your on no?
