My 2012 VE SSV Z Series

Nothing wrong with those figures especially for whats been done to the car.
That torque figure is quite interesting though.
I'm guessing near the upper end of the rev range it tapers off a bit? because otherwise that kw figure would be higher?

Hows it feel to drive? Is it really tame or quite a pain to drive it like a normal car?
If its like driving any standard car youve hit the jackpot, loads of power but very sleeperish.

Hey mate, it used to be a bit of a pain to drive, not completely horrible but you had to manage it! It drives quite normally now, still obviously lumpy at idle but pretty much stock-ish feeling in its actual driving. Except for the rate of speed and that whine lol.
So much better.

Not bad then.
I know what you mean by managing it, except with a Manual with the cam/charger fighting each other down low (upped idle helped massively)
Its good fun when you can drive it like a fairly normal car, but knowing you have a bit of get up and go under the right foot.

Finally got the headlights and fog lights done.
Glad I had a bit of a VE HSV/ Commodore whisperer who did most of the work!!! Made it look easy.
I don’t have a good pic of the headlights before but if you look at the fog light pics you can get a fair idea. Car is under 70000km and they’re trashed.
So happy with the new ones, different world! Also put a black grille badge in for something different. No damage removing the original so easy swap back if I ever want to.

those lights look good on the SS

Thanks mate. I do love this thing!!

That’s it!! Time to sell it!! 70000km.

70,000 kms is only a number.
If we're on here it's mostly for ( we love our vechices for our own reasons).
==== it's only time to sell when we want to move onto a different vechice = for whatever that reason is.
It shouldn't certainly be a km figure.
Might add lots of chrome bumper cars with bloody high kms readings out there!!
