Default Chevy SS sedan

Here's the stablemate to my Z06, she's a 2014 Chevy SS, 1500 miles. Full Holden conversion. Last week added the suspension, brakes wheels & tires. Really happy with the way she turned out.

Wheels - Vertini RF1.7, F 20x9 +35et, R 20x10.5 +48et. Coated with Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armor before tires mounted.
Tires - Continental Extreme Contact Sport, F 255/35, R 275/30.
Suspension - BC Racing coilovers, and Whiteline upper strut mount bushings/bearings.
Calipers - GM OEM rear Brembos. Coated with Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armor before installation.
Rotors - StopTech slotted, F/R.

One of my favorite cars.. Wish GM would make more
Did the SS not come standard with Brembo rear calipers?

Unfortunately, they can't. Holden closed its doors for good at the end of 2017.

The 2014 cars did not have Brembos in the rear. They were added in 2015.

I’m a little biased towards the SS as I have a 2017! Traded my 14 Audi S6 for it and people thought I was nuts...love this car and the stock sound is amazing. Well balanced and with an LS3 in it the car is a kick in the pants to drive!

The Holden conversion looks awesome as many people are clueless to what the car is even with Chevy badges. Only 1500 miles...start driving it!! I’m over 25k. Enjoy the car and many happy sMiles with it!! G’Day Mate!!

Makes me miss my G8 even more

These sedans are amazing. Big, comfy, fast, rwd, V8, good econ. Can't go wrong

Will say I preferred the stock wheels however, but I wouldn't say those are bad at all. Sharp car, cool color. Don't forget to change the oil in it

G8s are awesome.

The stock wheels are nice; Alcoas, polished, forged, but c'mon you can's tell me this looks better?

Same car:

I guess I've never really been into performance cars looking like 4x4s. Also not a fan of chrome wheels at all, and while the factory wheels are not chrome, they look like they are.

I’m on the SS Forum as well CorsoZ06. Same signature. Not that active on there. If you’re on Facebook there’s a pretty active FB Page for SS owners.

Yeah, the SS Forum is a bit of a snooze fest. Due to quite a few know-it-alls and Gestapo-like moderators, the posting and contributing is quite low.

it looks great in any configuration man, trust me. She's a gorgeous car! You'd have to try hard to try to make her unattractive. And you're a tasteful individual, I don't see you doing unattractive mods to her
