One more link to get you thinking...with the strength of the US dollar in comparison to ours at the moment, you could probably get some HSV parts quite cheap!


Oh no! Thanks!!!

I'm surprised Borla even made a system for that car.

You can use the steelies for some winter donuts.

 

[ls1mike]

I should say Borla components. A local shop did a very nice install with them. Most likely G8 stuff or maybe they found Caprice SS stuff? I don't know.

All the cars on the Zeta platform are RWD. The Impala has been FWD only since the 2000 model.

The Impala SS name went away after 2009. You maybe thinking of the current Chevrolet SS: 2016 Chevrolet SS Sedan


Yes sir that is it.

I have always been under the impression they were still Impalas.

Very nice find! Sure footed, fast and comfortable. My kind of ride!

Looks very nice. I have never driven one without a bunch of equipment weighing it down and computers sliding around, and gun rack's rattling.

Bet it is quite fun. I would put the steelies on right away.

I will assume you are a Police Officer. First off thank you.
Second you sound like the State Trooper I spoke to.
He was excited that I could get the weight out it.

I am not sure about the steelies. I get people slowing down and acting stupid already with aftermarket rims and temp tags.

Put some Holden badges on it Mike, just like all the Commodore drivers here put Chev bow ties on theirs...That'll confuse a few of the locals

Needs a couple of front bumper mounted push bars!

Get used to it... Short of painting it pink and putting a flashing neon sign that says "not a cop" on it, that is not likely to improve....

I mean even pulling a boat with a 15 year old Crown Vic they still did that stuff....

I'd put the steelies back on it myself...

Believe it or not, I saw a Holden Manaro (Our Pontiac "GTO") on the road a few years ago.

Looking back, I guess it could have been a rebadged Pontiac though.

Yes it confused me.

It's very rare I like when people rebadge their vehicle with the import version, but in this scenario I would definitely consider it. Awesome car, congrats! Such a rarity to have in your fleet. And a nice sleeper!

Welcome to the Holden club!

 

[ls1mike]

I have never loved a car this much.
A few more after a wash and wax.

I think he's the fleet manager based on previous posts.

 

[ls1mike]

I will see if I can fix it.
It says public.

I think it is fixed.

 

[SatinSilver]

Yep it's fixed but I think we need a little revving sound clip. That's a tease clip.

 

[ls1mike]

Sorry. I just love this thing...Got the divider out. You can see in these pictures how clean it really is.
