    VY SS
    Hi all

    bit new to commodores and V8s and this forum
    all my previous cars have been turbo subarus...

    looking at a 2003 VY SS

    its had extractors exhaust and air intake done but not a retune will you get much more power by getting it retuned to suit those mods? and is there any danger in having these mods done with out a retune?
    how much power would u be looking at with these mods done?
    what is standard output of a 2003 VY SS?
    is a 2003 VY SS a series one or two?
    is it hard to upgrade the breaks?
    and what is a reasonable price for a 03 VY SS with 104,000kms and everything inside and out is in immaculate condition and just had four new tyres

    thanks for any help :)

    VY SS UTE
    Is it a ute or sedan, manual or auto, and what colour is it, how much rego is on it? Some of those factors differ the asking price. I'd say between 15 -19K private sale.

    thanks for your help :)
    couldn't see a series 2 badge ill have to double check the build date to find out what month.... is there much difference between a series one and two.... aside from slightly higher KW

    its a sedan, manual, red (been very well looked after) 10 months rego and new tires all round put on a week ago... owner drives it like a granny... and looks after it like crazy like no food in the car washed all the time etc etc and it shows car is spotless inside and out....

    just saw a dark blue VZ for sale down the road... now im stuck between which to choose..

    2003 VY
    red
    108,000kms
    manual, pacemaker extractors,SS intake, full exhaust, 19" wheels, 10 months rego, brand new tires, immaculate condition inside and out.... asking 19,500...

    2005 VZ

    dark blue
    160,000kms
    stock as rock bar after market wheels 18" i think...
    good conditon few scratches n little tiny dents here and there gear stick knob is all faded n worn....
    leather interior,forgot to check rego date....
    asking 20,000

    now im really stuck VZ for near enough to same price with leather interior but more ks not as good condition and no exhaust or extractors done.... n not sure if i like the dark blue or not..... the higher ks is really whats turning me away....

    whats everyone's opinion on which to go for?
