My 2010 VE SS-V Sedan Special Edition
My Ride
Year: 2010 MY10
Model: SS-V Special Edition
Body: Sedan
Transmission: Automatic
Colour: Voodoo Blue
Trim: Leather
I purchased this vehicle brand new. I chose automatic as I was specifically after the AFM (Active Fuel Management) which is not available with manual transmission.
Needless to say, I've fallen in love...

The vehicle is completely stock excepting the following items:
-Window Tinting (has been completed today, will post some pics after this weekend)
-Have installed the "smokers pack" to gain access to a cigarette lighter for GPS cord
-Have applied the Pontiac badge to the front of the vehicle
-Customised plates will be installed this weekend
Stay tuned for more photos...

So Wet For You!
Can you get a close up of how you mounted the plate (hopefully you mounted it and it wasn't the dealer, who butcher the bar when they do it)

this is the bit I dont get dont they still come with a 12v cigarette lighter plug in the centre console box as standard?
(Ex-sell-er-rator)
Yeah, I'll get some pictures of the number plate mount as soon as I have installed my custom plates.
No, the dealer unfortunately installed it and it HAS been butchered...ah well, Ya can't see it with the plates on anyway.
Yes, it still has the 12v plug in the centre console as standard, bugger of a place but ah well...I use the ashtray as a small compartments with the smokers pack.
Check out my fuel consumption on my first trip, approx 410km.
If ya can't see the image it says:
Avg Speed: 99.6km/h
Avg Fuel: 9.5l/100km
Very happy being that it's an 8 and I was playing with the accelerator for most of the trip. Oh and that was with the A/C on about 80% of the trip.
Voodoo blue's a nice colour, nice and clean .. nice ride mate

Cheers Makz, appreciate the comments...Voodoo blue's a nice colour, nice and clean .. nice ride mate
Really nice mate, and i would have done the same thing as you, the newer 6 speed autos are still a great gearbox with the added bonus of better fuel economy.
Do you have any plans for it in the way of exhaust/inatke? Unleash a few extra ponies plus it would help your highway economy figures.
Cheers mate.

im rick james..... bitch!
very nice mate, love those front ends!
(Ex-sell-er-rator)
Yeah I definately plan to get an exhaust & OTR intake done then a dyno when cash allows.
You've hit the nail on the head with the reasoning behind the Auto. The gear change is quite fast and i don't get a tired left leg when travelling on the Monash every day in peak hour traffic both ways.
(Ex-sell-er-rator)
Yeah thanks rch-13z, I love it. After playing Forza Motorsport 3 on XBOX 360 (which has the Pontiac G8 in game) I dreamed of owning it one day, and here I am today.
So Wet For You!
And i bet a blue one is the car you drive the most in it.....

You bet ya bottom dollor, I can't do any more upgrades or earn anymore levels in the car it has been driven that much...lol...
(Ex-sell-er-rator)
Yeah thanks, I'm yet to see another in my area...I've seen a few Utes gettin round on the Monash but that's about it. I agree with a comment by REDVE-8, there's no better feeling than standing out...love turnin heads...
(Ex-sell-er-rator)
Hey Tommo, yeah mate from Patterson, they really looked after me too...is your's as 2010 build also or 09? Have you done any more to yours since picking it up?
So Wet For You!

i had the parking sensors added which were part of the sale. I also went back 3 times to have a faulty driver's window fixed.
Cheers
(Ex-sell-er-rator)
Bugger. Hey do the reverse sensors provide you with an image of a radar at the back of the car on your LCD screen? I've seen it in the Wagon version but it was factory installed.
