Probably coz I posted a pic of a ZB ute.

Well I'm happy to be wrong, those were the 300 V8 utes that I mentioned earlier and yes it seems that they carried the SS nameplate which I didn't recall, but it wasn't a generally publicised model as was the "S Pack". It wasn't until VU/X that the SS was a standard run model and continued until the end of Elizabeth production.

Yes Losh1971, I love that cartoon as it's so relevant. Has anyone ever been wrong on the internet ? Ask the Donald ?

I went to buy a second hand VS SS Ute but pulled the pin because it wasn't as clean as advertised.
At the time I knew I guy who worked at Holden and remember him telling me they were quite a handful with the 5lt.

Can we agree to get this back onto the ZB?

I know nothing but I reckon the ZB will be a moderate success if Holden gets the price and warranty right. If they don’t, this will be the last Commodore in history.

must be thinking about FORD.

Don't ever recall an Aus Ford SS anything but don't claim that as fact. There was however a VS SS Ute and those so called authorities that claim otherwise might want to do a little research. SL/ENUT and VS 5.0 are on the money.

Can you please supply some credible proof of the above statement ?

Dunno. Just responding to your uninformed post on the subject. I'd have thought a "vs-lover" would know such a thing but apparently not

The highest standard ute package was the "S Pack" and that was Ecotech powered. The V8 was always an optional extra, but there was a limited edition of 300 V8 utes released in Series III, but they were never badged up as an SS. That sticker was only ever placed on the Sedan variant vehicle at that time.

I have all the VS sales Brochures and can assure no SS ute exists whatsoever with the range.

SS utes first debuted as a VU which was at the very tail end of VT production and is effectively a VT but given a new prefix as it was a re-entry into the market during an existing model run replacing the Series III VS, it was just in time for the launch of the VX across the range.
The same way as VG was a re-entry towards the end of VN production in 1990.

Just STOP embarrassing yourself now.

Just STOP embarrassing yourself now.

Reading VS Lovers responses, it appears as though he admitted he did make a mistake...So I think this is a little unjust

 

[vs-lover]

Wow ! Sometimes I really wonder.

BTW Thanks "VC Commodore" and also "losh1971" for your support. Politeness doesn't seem to be in some people's strong points.
