Vf sv6 differences to ss

[mpower]

don't forget the series 1 Redline also got FE3 and Brembo's.

There is always something extra from the base to the top, mechanical and interior.

Yeah, the point of Redline over SS-V was the performancey stuff.
So SS-V got interior (and stereo in sedan?) upgrades over SS, then SS-V/R got the staggered wheels & the FE3 and the Brembos on top of SS-V.

Vic Police ordered a shipload of MY17 SS's, and I still see VF HWP cars getting around.

A lot of Holdens are being pensioned off now as the Vicpol fleet ramps are acquisition of VW (Passat, Golf, Tiguan, Amarok), turbo prop Beamers, Hyundais and KIAs.

Its been longer than 3 years now, and there is still a few on the road.

Some of the Late VF Commodores were purchased in 2018 as Holden held cars back for this purpose. Other reasons as well due to manufacturing rebates too.

 

[SSVREDLINE2014]

SSS to SSV to Redline had various equipment upgrades, pretty standard practice.

Re, OP questions, this old car advice page seems oto sum it up well. Apart from the running gear, SS and SV6 were identical, SSV and redline got more kit and toys.

Specs for VF1 might help too.

And VF2

Seems to suggest for sub redline VFs brakes were the same, unless performance brakes were specced?

I get that all 3 had different trims, specs etc but the SS was basically the equivalent of the SV6 with a V8 engine. Just felt the SS should have got something the SV6 didn't get like the basic engine push start bottom on the VF series 1.

 

[SSVREDLINE2014]

Only MY17 SSV was dropped from the line up. There is a series 2 SSV. There were many differences between the three models and there was a market for them all. MY17 models were culled due to ease of manufacture. Calais V and SSV Redline had the same interiors except heated seats.

Didn't realise the SSV lasted until MY17. Anyways all the series 2 LS3's I see dont have the SSV or SSV Redline badges the series 1 had. Maybe Holden ran out of them and just used SS badges on all models?

The redline has a red 'V' on the other side with 'Series 2' written on it

Ok good to know at least some red exists on the badge. Still should have used the original SSV Redline badge but oh well.
