In todays video we finally show you guys the new VY SS that I purchased for a steal! Couldn't be happier finally owning a sting red VY SS and in a manual too! Enjoy the first look at the new whip.

    Nice find. I purchased a 2003 manual VY SS in hot house green from Brisbane in 2017 for $3700 with 445,000km. Ran perfectly and the body was in remarkably good condition, even had an OTR, extractors and maffless tune which I doubt the dealer understood. You mention noisy trans, it had a noisy trans too and it was simply the boot that surrounds the gearstick to stop the sound coming in the cabin, a new boot from Holden completely fixed the issue.

The LS1s are extremely reliable if maintained and not flogged. I used to have a WH LS that had been a similar story, lived in the country and had 390 on the clock when I got it, still ran like new.

    My mum had a 2003 VY S pac in hothouse green, grew up in it & loved it. A bit after my parents split up my dad eventually bought the car off her, put it in storage for a while, then sold it - she replaced it with a Series 1 VE SV6, in 2014-15ish. Imo Hothouse Green is unbeatable on the VY, Cosmic Purple and Quicksilver also look great (really all the colours look great haha) would love to get an SS in Hothouse green tho. Currently on my first car, a manual VZ Sv6 in impulse blue, loving just about every bit of it.

    Hi Marc. I am extremely happy for you that you have bought what you have bought (VY SS Commodore manual) for your new pride & joy... yes I have made quite a few people laugh alongside with my Asperger's sense of humour this week over what car's people remind me of. one of your mates have recently bought a 1983 Toyota Corolla CS sedan the car you remind me of and the associated song from Daryl Braithwaite - Rise... All the wonders of my Asperger's sense of humour... I am extremely excited for you too that you have bought yourself a - VY SS manual Commodore... yeah still waiting on my campervan but it is getting there closer - Just taking a bit of time lately because of getting things like my driver's seat structurally sorted " because the previous owners of my van did not previously have a proper Urvan seat given things have been bloody changed (can't remember the exact details) which was the reason why it was so complicated and took a hell of a long time. Cheers 🥂 from William. Mount Gambier South Australia. The second car that you remind me of is also this car now that you have bought and the associated song for this car is also from Daryl Braithwaite - Rise... same as for the other car now you can also play in this car for your next future video in the VY Commodore..... congratulations for your engagement with your Mrs plus her new car - VY SS Commodore - the second car you remind me of with the exact same song from Daryl Braithwaite - Rise... I'm sure your Mrs would find it quite Gold if you told her my Asperger's sense of humour what car's people remind me of such as yourself reminding me of this car also as well as the 1983 Toyota Corolla sedan... yeah definitely get yourself a Holden club sport and play this song in that car too(Daryl Braithwaite Rise)

I used to sell cars in Perth and we had a VZ Calais international with 200k's and it was tight as a drum, absolutely immaculate, felt like half the k's. I love VY's too and have owned 2, an S auto and SS man, both utes and both hothouse green, both immaculate around 130k's. The only bugbear I had with the SS was the notchy gearbox, felt slow moving from 2nd to 3rd. I always wanted to give it a lower diff to, like 27 or lower. Anyways enough of my ramblings she's a good score you've got there man, well done. 😉👍

    @Marc180sx I finally came to terms with the diff in the SS and it should definitely be shorter than the standard 3:08 and I was dabbling with 3:27 but I think with the high 1st and ridiculous 6th at least 3:43 or roundabouts. I think then you'd have a decent launch machine. By the way I've owned a lot of Commodores and driven thousands and the VY is my favourite. Even other car dealers and salesman agree. I bet Holden was joyous when the VZ came into play with it's miserable ☹️ Alloytech boat anchor. As soon as the warranty period was over they started raking it in. I always said to myself that if I was to buy another Commodore post VY it would be exclusively V8. I can't think of anything else to warn you about the VY because they're bullet proof well put together cars so. Enjoy!😃

    @merlintroy You'd get a more accurate answer from somebody in a forum but I do remember my S V6 got too many kays out of 1st for my liking so I'm guessing a 3.27 would suffice and preferably LSD but it depends on what sort of revs you want to pull at highway cruising so you could even drop into the 3.4's... check out more opinions, of course.

    I am really not a Holden/Ford/Chrysler guy (drive old Alfas mostly nowadays), though I have owned various 6-cylinder Kingswoods, Falcons and Valiants in the past. But I came very close to buying a white '98 VT SS for $12k that I stumbled upon at a wholesaler about six months ago. Simply because I've never owned a V8 and thought they are probably now at their cheapest point before the ones that are still roadworthy start going up in price again as V8 Aussie nostalgia. It was a +250,000km country car with intermittent service history, but seemed a good runner, totally straight (never repainted and duco was dusty but unmarked), had clean factory alloys and even the body kit was complete and unmarked. So a bit of a unicorn - usually skirts are cracked and bodged, with unmatched paint patches and wheels covered in gutter rash from a life of hoonery. I am kind of annoyed I didn't take a punt on it though the missus would have killed me if I'd dragged another +20yo car home... One question for Holden fans - why do so many VT-VZ SS, Clubsport and SV8 models (excluding ones with leather interior) have such god-awful cloth trim? They look like they are made from Fat Pizza tracksuits.

I mean I can understand all the love for the commodores I've got a mate with a VY SS manual myself and everytime I go for a drive with him it just confuses me how everything just works... like if you had an AU that had more than 1 hubcap on it and the central locking system and boot latch and power windows weren't fucked and the headlining wasn't sagging you'd have to sell it or give it away because what would be the point in owning one if everything worked properly and you weren't fixing things all the time 😂🤣😂😂😂
