    Will Kia Stinger really flog an SS?

    Drama aside... I'm pretty set on the Stinger. I can't justify $55k for a demo redline. It just seems a little gougey. I'm still cut that they gave the states the full kit inc ventilated seats!

    Will Kia Stinger really flog an SS?

    The choices are limited. I want; * 4 doors * Bigger than Mid size * RWD * 270ish kw of power I owned an FGII XR6T and sold it because the gadgetry was 10 years old I owned an VFII 6.2L SS and sold it because it gave me a 3 month licence suspension ;) (not really the reason... I also wanted to...

    VF Random chat thread

    My car developed a chirp at 85,000km and it was the serpentine belt. They replaced it for free. It was also on back-order. They also incorrectly installed it and within 100km of driving, one tooth of the belt was misaligned and had severed off, flapping around. Again on back-order. They...

    What to spend 2k on

    Hey Ron. Did you manage to sell these already? I just had my SS detailed and all dents rectified - she's looking as good as I can remember. I also went over the warranty - 100,000km. I'm looking around for some new rims as the stock ones have always not appealed to me. Based on other responses...

    BREMBO PROBLEMS - CONSIDERING LEGAL ACTION

    Yep. There are also more factors which increase the rate of corrosion; it's quite often very hot, which accelerates the process. It's also sped up because the surface is not smooth, plus the residual particles left by the pad.

    Lowering VF2 SSV Redline Sedan

    Does anyone that lives around Wollongong with a 360mm ride height want to try and get up my driveway without scraping? :) I'd love to go lower, but right now I can plow up without much attention and no chance of scraping. My XR6T on stock required some finesse

    VF2 SSV2 Towbar Questions

    Ok so install done. I get a phone call at 3:30pm to say there is a problem - they can't get the park assist to work with the tow bar on. I tell them I'm taking the car at 4:30pm regardless. So I show up and I'm told they are still working on it - they've done software updates (WTF) and some...

    VF2 SSV2 Towbar Questions

    Yes my VX always had this flat lead and it worked until I sold it some 17 years later. I'm just worried that based on what she's told me, it sounds like they will mount it in the boot somewhere and then the trailer lead comes into the boot?

    Is anyone considering the NG commodore after their VF?

    Didn't GM guarantee they were going to fill the void left by the dead V8 Commodore? "We are going to launch a V8 sports car and it will blow your socks off."

    Police Fleet - VFII?

    Guaranteed to be at least a grand cheaper at auction. When I bought mine in April, they were selling for exactly $29,250 every single week. Probably $28,750 now give or take.

    Servicing with Holden dealer or reputable local mechanic.

    Every service was as per the handbook. So I just got a call from holden customer care. They have spoken to the dealer who gave the excuse that they had processed it as a 2015 VFI 90,000km service, which has a capped price of $590 if the vehicle was a 6.0L first registered up until feb 2015...
