Title: LOVE MY VE SSV COMMODORE AND NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD DO THIS
Post by: GORGAR 1 on August 12, 2010, 02:21:01 PM
Was never one for changing cars into something they arn't so today I went against those thoughts and put a Chev grille on my VE SSV after all the engine in it is a 6.0 litre 350 chev so good idea? i think it looks heaps better than the factory Holden grille.

it only matters what you think  ()

Interesting that the new camero has a commodore chassis, maybe they should put Holden badges on them  :lol

Cool mod pete

I'm a huge fan of GM, in my opinion ALL V8 holdens should have this grill/badge from the factory

Hate to be a smarta*** but I think you got ripped off somewhere.... &&
350 is a little light on in the cubics mate!

Mine is!

PS. you don't have a set of Gorgar schematics do you???

Very nice Pete!

Why don't they write Chevrolet?

Cant the yanks spell?  !*!

Edit: Nice color - personalized plates - big chevvy badges... Cops will be disappointed to not find a P plater behind the wheel...  :lol :lol :lol

Yeah your right it is abit more than a 350 and with the exhaust work and tune she is a rocket ship but as a mature adult i dont drive it hard #@# only sometimes. I agree with the color of the car and new grille she does look tough.

I do like your car for sure. Nothing even comes close to the feel of driving a V8.

I do think that HOLDEN builds a far far better car than the yanks could ever build. Their Corvette is nice, but very over-priced out here.

I would hate to pay your fuel bill, but since the modern V8's dont use much more juice than a V6, its all good.  ^^^ ^^^

If you drive it like a bitch - maybe!

Mrs Shansta's Territory (AWD) avgs 16-20lt per 100k - My XR6 runs around 13lt/100k...

If Pete wants to lend me the 6Lt Commy for a day - I am sure I could beat that by the end of his street.
Don't forget - The Chev badge will have killed the economy due to the extra drag...  !*!


Perhaps sir would like to look at the Barina over there...  *.* *.* *.*
