SS has only been getting the headlines and doing the burnouts since ‘13, it arrived that fall/winter as a ‘14, not sure where you got ‘11 from. Also, it’s demise was pre-planned, it had nothing to do with sales figures. Reuss and co. were only ever bringing 3K ish SSs per year to the States to satisfy the…

Holden Commodore SS-V VFII, or as you know it, Chevrolet SS. Way more room, way cheaper to purchase and maintain and that LS-3 music.

I personally think this article is written with tongue firmly planted in cheek, however, if not, I have to say it’s a crock of shit. We just bought a ‘17 Mazda 6 touring for our teenage son in November and it was $23,000 after discounts and a little bit of easy dealing, brand new, plastic still on seats and floor…

This comment is ignorant of facts, as is the article itself. The author should know that SS was only brought here under contractual obligations to Holden in the amount of approx 2500-3000 per year. When will people get this through their skulls? It was also a perfect ride to get into NASCAR, although the…

It’s actually not American except for the Chevy badge. As you may know, it’s made in Australia by Holden and many of the engineers responsible for the car were former BMW employees who worked on the E39 5 series. That’s why road and track and motor trend have done comparisons between the E39 M5 and the SS. I’ve…

Or:

They’re selling in low numbers because they’re imported in low numbers, less than 3K per year. That’s also why GM didn’t market them, they were only going to sell what the contractual agreement with Holden called for. End of story.

Clown. To each his own but, Clown.

As you can see from my userid, SS it is. I tried the SRT Charger, and also looked at used M3s and C63s and even the ISF, all good choices. But the SS was best due its combo of top notch wheel control (bound and rebound damping are stellar), ridiculously strong brakes, LS-3 and excellent interior space and comfort. …

All in fun my man, not really offended, just wanted to give Shep some shit after I saw the deal post over at Jalopnik. And yes, humblebrag intentional. I wish more people knew exactly how good the SS really is, even the positive reviews and comparos didn’t fully prepare me.

LOL, OMG, FBI - I know one person there and I’m glad you believe me, really I am. I also tell my co-workers that ask me that my Yetis work great but that RTICs are prob just as good for less. You see, you can be true to your own desires without being a fuck to others.

No, I only responded directly to you with my factors. Do you think no one else in this whole wide world has their own set of circumstances that caused them to purchase a Yeti? I was just answering for myself, not stating my circumstances were Gods Will. My point stands, the comment about flushing money down the…

As I stated, Yeti is local to me and I know someone who works there. That was my other factor. I have no doubt that RTIC et al offer similar performance for less and I think they are a smart buy, however, that doesn’t mean my money was flushed down the toilet because I purchased Yetis.

I bought a couple of Yeti tumblers because they have sales and marketing headquarters in Austin and I know someone who works there, plus I live nearby in Round Rock. I made a conscience decision to do so not because I had to have a Yeti sticker or am a brand whore. All of these deals posts that say “before you go…

Same here, although a 3D printed fully functioning LSA blower for our LS3s seems mandatory....

Cool read Ayan, I’m in Round Rock and wonder if the guys at Eurocharged would turn their noses up if I brought my Holden Commodore SSV in to get some baseline pulls. Also the difference in the IS-F and M5 powerband that you described at length can be summed up thusly: Area under the curve. I’m sure you’re familiar…

Haha, cool, pipes too? Got mine from Redtails, $125 shipped for the pair, kept stock mufflers. Really does look better with the large openings that were made for dual/dual tips imho.

Oh please, there’s nothing wrong with the SS fascia, it just needs the proper badge to show its true origins.

You have it all wrong, Raphael, the winner’s version was the Formula, much cleaner and rarer than the T/A and faster because it was lighter. I owned an ‘02 that put down 330/343 to the wheels with just an air box and Hypertech PP3, man was that LS-1 underrated....
