That is a great machine! I have the Chevy SS older brother, the Pontiac G8 and bought it new in 2009 and it is still a great car. Of course both vehicles were made by GM's Holden Division in Australia. It is a shame that GM has discontinued both cars. They really filled a gap for a powerful American four door sedan. Thank you for explaining your mods and a great video!
Bought my SS when I was 21 2 years ago. Can’t wait to finally pay this shit off so I can start throwing some real money into it. Yes I was young and dumb but don’t regret this car one bit! The Australians know how to make a 4Door sleeper Sedan
Chicken Tenders Agreed, but a lot of things have changed in my life that made me realize this car could’ve waited & I could’ve invested money elsewhere in a much smarter way. It’s not a big deal though, just had to keep working 10 times harder & push for those promotions.
@@RawLikeThat Currently in the same boat with my first car that I have now. Plan to trade it in for a 2017 Chevy SS with 9k miles in Aug. not sure if it will be the 1hr drive tho
@@RawLikeThat How many cars give you the smiles per mile of an SS and don’t depreciate? From what I’ve seen, these cars are worth as much used as they were new. Especially the manual trans cars.

I have a 2017 SS M6 with 18k miles in orange blast. It is original right down to the little stickers at the bottom of the side windows. GM got it right this car. No need to change anything to make it better.

wanted to thank u for you honest review, just how u stated alot of people dont know how good this car really is. you can add whipple charger and wipe out any charger. great job. reach out when you ready to sell.
Sweet wheels bro.. I have the 2014 ss and I love mines. Only thing I've done to it is add the pedal commander and throttle response is way more responsive.
Why does everybody say GM did a terrible job of advertising this car? We only got it because Holden needed 12-15 thousand exports to bring the manufacturing cost down just so the Aussies could build it for themselves. It was never advertised here, and GM wasn’t going to advertise it here because they weren’t really thrilled with the deal that brought it here to begin with knowing before the deal that they were going to shutter the Holden plant in Elizabeth. Besides, it was a distraction from their other performance cars they didn’t want.
@@ralfie8801 well dumbass it was the only car on the lot i was seeing with that discount at the time and no one knows what the car is when I drive it so its safe to say they did a terrible job advertising it
AWDTBSS No it's not safe to say that, shitferbrains. What part of they never intended to advertise it don't you get? Around here every vehicle on the lot including trucks had 20% off, more times than the three when the SS had 20% off too. Join the Chevy SS forum, maybe you'll learn something useful about your car, including correct information.
GM obviously knew this car wasn't going to sell great, which is unfortunate but I would have loved to see it sell like wildfire. Definitely wouldn't mind seeing more of them around.
Sold my c6 z06 now I'm looking at different muscle cars, gotta agree with you chargers and challengers are everywhere... this thing is unique. I might get one myself, found a 14 for 30k.
They are great cars and definitely don't see many of them. Get compliments on mine almost daily in it not that I bought it for that but cool to see others appreciate a unique car.

Nice ride. I’m in the North Bay and have a 2016 SS I got forover 20% off. That’s cool that you managed to get an out of state car registered in California. The SS is a fun family car. It handles great, has great sound, and is reasonably quick. I’m trying to figure out what mods aside we can get away with in California that won’t be a major problem once you have to smog it.

Man it's so weird, I have the same car in Australia and removed the 2nd cats and put an X-pipe in but it sounds nowhere near as loud as the American versions.. so strange.
@@LSxDrew Yup... Well I did untill I changed them. America definitely uses something different but I don't know what, the American versions sound so much louder. Maybe it's the headers/cats because of the different emission laws
LSxDrew Lol Man I’ve never Modded a Car before honestly. Performance wise but I would probably do Long tube headers , Tune , and a air filter on This which I’m thinking about getting soon
Nice review! Excellent and tasteful mods. I bought a ‘16 manual in Heron White from a friend across the Bay from me. Blacked out trim, CTS-V wheels, Rotofab CAI, and street tuned. 413whp, 398wtq. Very happy. Getting my Kings SSL springs installed soon. Just anxious to take it out since it’s a weekend car. Don’t ever let go of your SS. Are you planning to add supercharger?
No plans currently as I'm going to be getting a C8 Z06 next year so don't plan to do anymore mods to it besides skinnies up front and a stall. Love the car tho gonna be my daily for a while
Mate if you put on the Holden HSV GTS SENITOR body kit and will have a true blue eye popping muscle car thank jesus for the Combustion engine HSV GTS R W1 is jesus fact
It's been almost two years now, can you talk about how's it been running on e85? I'm considering going that route as it's readily available in my area.
I will when it stops raining here. But I'm just under 40k miles now and been running E85 almost exclusively besides maybe once every other month (or on long trips) throwing a tank of 91 in. Now that I run full E85 instead of blending in a 4 gals of 91 in every tank like i did in this video i lose around 3mpg doing full tank of E85 vs 91. I love the car
@@villanelle4263 when it was just Intake and E85 I didn't change injectors but when I added headers I did add injectors from DSX that were 50lb Flex Fuel friendly and cost $260 I believe because I was close to maxing the stock injectors out with just Intake/E85
I drive my 15 everyday. Mine's a manual and I love it. I bought it new and have about 40k miles on it. No mods since it's my daily, but I might do some things in the future. I would say that the seats are the biggest drawback in that they are too tall and oddly shaped. I will probably get some camaro or vette seats to fix that.
Would you mind listing your mods in the description? Also, I was wanting to know how you did the x pipe in the back? I can't find a shop to dump the rear cats out to switch it.
Rotofab Cold Air Intake, DSX Flex Fuel Kit, 2.25" inlet and outlet Xpipe removing the 2 secondary cats, Lingenfelter 160* T-stat, King Springs SSL, and a Dyno Tune.
When i just had Intake like in this vid all i needed was the sensor kit and tune, but when i did headers i bought his flex fuel 50lb injectors he sells for like 260$
In Australia we have the HSV version of that car and they did have the LSI and the car went out with a bang called the w1 with ls9 in it in Australia we never got the option of the corvette or the tomorrow until after the car had stop production in building cars in Australia HSV a converting the Camaro to right-hand drive for us but I've always think it's very selfish of the factories that never gave us those options to begin with so that Commodore or SS became part of our muscle car and Ford had the Falcon in Australia
I went to a local muffler shop to have them cut and weld in the new Xpipe in place of the 2nd cats. This is the X Pipe I bought from Summit Racing- "Jones Exhaust Stamped X-Pipes SXP3SS"
@ꫝꪖzꪖrᦔꪮꪊડ well lucky you! 15th birthday you say? Guess you're gonna have to wait to get a liscense first lol!! In my opinion the 14 and the 15 are the best looking ones so I would go with either or. Keep in mind....14's only came with auto as the 15's come with either auto or manual and plus the 15's and so on come with touring mode and others that you can change it to. 14's have brembo brakes only in the front compared to the 15-17 that gave brembos in the front and back but the 14's prove to stop 6 feet faster than the other models which is crazy. Plus the 14 and 15 models are slightly faster than the 16 and 17 models which is also crazy. In my opinion....even though manual is fun, the automatic are faster. Plus on the autos you can use the shifter as a slapstick as well as paddle shifters behind the steering wheel if you wanna do your own shifting. So yeah I like my 14 the best but the 15's I like also. Good luck and enjoy it!
@@LSxDrew dam foreal? That’s was up bru Maybe it’s a factory freak car bc when I bought my camaro 2015 5th gen auto (L99)it had 400 to the crank but on the dyno it said 320 hp to the wheel then I put headders from Texas speed full exhaust cold air intake n dyno tune n it bearly made like 370hp till I put a baby cam it went up to 425 n with e85 I’m at 450 hp so ur car really has a good hp bru I’m impress do u have the stick shift ls3 engine or the l99 auto like mine
One of which is simply the fact that it was too expensive. Its sticker price was just above $50,000, and it’s an amazing value for that money, touting luxury car goodies at a discount price. The problem is that you could only get the SS with all that stuff, and for that price. Had there been a stripped-down SS for $35,000 - something that could compete with the Dodge Charger, which is pretty popular - I think it could’ve done well. But I think Chevy nixed this idea because it wouldn’t have made financial sense. The SS was built in Australia, and surely it wasn’t cheap to pay relatively pricey Australian labor to make the car, then add in shipping costs from such a faraway land. My thinking is Chevy had to pump it full of features so they could jack up the price, as a "stripped-down" SS never would’ve been profitable - even if it had been popular. Another Aussie icon Holden dead by fucking morons running Holden into the ground by making poor decisions and not moving with the times! RIP Aussie muscle cars......
@@classified3783 i bought them off of a local owner who switched to aftermarket wheels. All years are good I'd buy whichever the best deal is. the 14 has Brembos only on the fronts and a plastic black rear diffuser vs gloss black on 15-17, 15+ have magnetic ride control and 15+ have brembos all around, 16-17 have bi mode exhaust and vented hood. I'm sure I'm missing a few things

Common misconception. They actually sold off lots almost instantly. They sold fantastically. There’s just not many of them imported.
no marketing was done for this car and GM did it for a reason.
Very nice car make a new video with the headers?
I do have an exhaust video with the headers. I will prolly make an updated video of owning soon, since I've hit 32k miles on it and 2yrs of owning it

In Australia we have the HSV version of that car and they did have the LSI and the car went out with a bang called the w1 with ls9 in it in Australia we never got the option of the corvette or the tomorrow until after the car had stop production in building cars in Australia HSV a converting the Camaro to right-hand drive for us but I've always think it's very selfish of the factories that never gave us those options to begin with so that Commodore or SS became part of our muscle car and Ford had the Falcon in Australia
These cars with a LSA or LS9 engine would be awesome!
It comes with 415 stock. How did you manage to get one with 3 something?
415 is at the engine, when you dyno it you lose power through the drive train on the car between 15-20% on an automatic car
LSxDrew ah. Mine’s gonna stick.
@@wishihadavette_2517 prolly lose 10-15% on it then when on the dyno. Enjoy it
LSxDrew alright thanks. Nice vette btw
@@wishihadavette_2517 thanks but the ZR1 is gone, have a deposit for a C8 Z06 tho when they come out
The center rear folds down doesn't it?
Nope, only the center part opens up a small passage
@@LSxDrew sorry, weird question, does the gas cap lock?
@@crowsbridge nah they dont but I believe I have seen people put a locking one on in the Chevy SS owners FB group
Who did you go to get the x pipe removed?
I went to a local muffler shop to have them cut and weld in the new Xpipe in place of the 2nd cats. This is the X Pipe I bought from Summit Racing- "Jones Exhaust Stamped X-Pipes SXP3SS"
Great be different I like it
How much is the exhaust my guy
That Secondary cats delete was under 40 for the Xpipe and then the labor to weld it in which was like 30min so it wasnt that much
Yes I agree that those wheels on the 16 and 17's are ugly! Love my 14 😁
@ꫝꪖzꪖrᦔꪮꪊડ well lucky you! 15th birthday you say? Guess you're gonna have to wait to get a liscense first lol!! In my opinion the 14 and the 15 are the best looking ones so I would go with either or. Keep in mind....14's only came with auto as the 15's come with either auto or manual and plus the 15's and so on come with touring mode and others that you can change it to. 14's have brembo brakes only in the front compared to the 15-17 that gave brembos in the front and back but the 14's prove to stop 6 feet faster than the other models which is crazy. Plus the 14 and 15 models are slightly faster than the 16 and 17 models which is also crazy. In my opinion....even though manual is fun, the automatic are faster. Plus on the autos you can use the shifter as a slapstick as well as paddle shifters behind the steering wheel if you wanna do your own shifting. So yeah I like my 14 the best but the 15's I like also. Good luck and enjoy it!
@ꫝꪖzꪖrᦔꪮꪊડ oh very nice....for beginning to drive you're gonna start out with some serious power. Enjoy and be careful lol
hey bro can ya give me the specs you add on pls
What would you like the specs on?

dam I wish they were still 37 grand lol
One of which is simply the fact that it was too expensive. Its sticker price was just above $50,000, and it’s an amazing value for that money, touting luxury car goodies at a discount price. The problem is that you could only get the SS with all that stuff, and for that price. Had there been a stripped-down SS for $35,000 - something that could compete with the Dodge Charger, which is pretty popular - I think it could’ve done well.
But I think Chevy nixed this idea because it wouldn’t have made financial sense. The SS was built in Australia, and surely it wasn’t cheap to pay relatively pricey Australian labor to make the car, then add in shipping costs from such a faraway land. My thinking is Chevy had to pump it full of features so they could jack up the price, as a "stripped-down" SS never would’ve been profitable - even if it had been popular.
Another Aussie icon Holden dead by fucking morons running Holden into the ground by making poor decisions and not moving with the times! RIP Aussie muscle cars......
Nice ride
What color is that again and what are those wheels??
Nightfall Grey Metallic and they are the 2014-15 stock SS wheels
AWDTBSS did you buy those wheels online or through the dealership?? Also what year would you recommend someone to buy it?
@@classified3783 i bought them off of a local owner who switched to aftermarket wheels. All years are good I'd buy whichever the best deal is. the 14 has Brembos only on the fronts and a plastic black rear diffuser vs gloss black on 15-17, 15+ have magnetic ride control and 15+ have brembos all around, 16-17 have bi mode exhaust and vented hood. I'm sure I'm missing a few things
Like the color
This or a Scatpack?
SS
Sold my scatpack for one. Best decision I ever made. I'm doing a lsa swap on it too. Gonna be hurting feelings soon
Get an otr set up. That cold air intake is shit
