Noob with a New car
Hey everyone, joined the forum today and I thought I'd post up a few pics of my ride....
2007 Holden SSV - Phantom Black - 6.0L V8 (L98)
I have since lowered the car and found my tyre shine!
It's an awesome car to drive, and I'm very glad I got it. If only I could find some decent wheels for it. Anywho, let me know what you think
Bob.

Welcome to the 6.
Nice car! Looks like a lot of fun to drive. I can't wait til they bring the Pontiac G8 to the states so we can drive all the fun muscle sedans you guys have had for years.

Performance specs: 0-60mph ~ mid 5's, 1/4 ~ low 14's (as tested by local 'Motor' Magazine)
Trasmission: 6L80E w/manual mode (A 6sp manual is also available, but, I drove the Auto and I liked it, so I got it.)
Anything else, you can visit http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/...w?modelid=4006
I believe the 2008 Impala SS will be about 90% identical to my car on the outside. Only differences are the Impala doesn't get the Black tails, nor the Projector headlights, and it'll have Chevrolet badges on it
As for the inside, from what I've seen, it appears that both the Impala SS and Pontiac G8 don't get the 6.5" in dash LCD screen for Audio/Climate controls/Nav/Secondary DVD Display. Don't mind the dust on my dash
....
The sound system is average at best, but there are a few companies making aftermarket goodies for them!

Bob, that's a cool car man, welcome.
Just wondering, what's the real world fuel consumption like? I imagine it's pretty thirsty when you're on it, but what about just cruising around and on the highway at low rpm?

RWD, it's one of the first cars that's based on the new GM platform that is going to bring us the G8.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that car has the LS2 in it. That thing cruises just above idle on the highway...think close to 30MPG!!

And I figured you'd find me on here!
Where can I find Vader?
