Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone,
it's been a long time since I've posted in here. Sorry for that, life has been very busy.
I still have the GTO, I don't know if I posted about doing the brakes and new clutch.
It now has CTS-V 6 piston Brembos up front with G8 GXP/Camaro SS front rotors, and in the
rear it has 4 piston ZL1 Camaro (Same as CTS-V, but a different color.) 4 piston Brembos
with C6 Z06/GrandSport rear rotors. It also has a monster twin disc clutch with C7 flywheel.
It is going to be getting a new suspension and brake ducts installed in the coming months.
Plus more plans I have for it, but when I get a chance to get things done.
I moved down to sunny Florida last year to Miami Beach. I picked up a new Chevy SS aka a VF Commodore
with Chevy badges and a LS3. I removed those atrocious Chevy emblems and put the Holden ones back on.
I have only done minor cosmetic things to the SS, and will do performance mods when the warranty is up.
It will be getting the same brakes as the GTO has which is what the VF Gen 2 SS have on them in Red.
I am thinking a Duspeed OTR intake with a LSA blower, and a nice exhaust. It's fairly cheap to do in the States.
As a Chevy.
As a Holden.
With the GTO.
Thanks for looking everyone, and I hope everyone is doing well.

The SS looks cool without the GTS spoiler. Almost subtle.
I feel it looks a bit bland with the lip spoiler instead of larger spoiler or small wing like the HSVs have.HappyMidget said:
Feels unfinished to me, but guess am just used to seeing the spoiler.
I feel the same way. It looks too much like an Impala or Malibu. It needs a wing.motomk said:
Nice, do they all have magnetic ride or is it only on certain years?
Had the "red" calipers put on mine a few weeks ago. Went a bit mad with the black pen.

The red Brembos look good, and are standard now on all 2016s.Had the "red" calipers put on mine a few weeks ago. Went a bit mad with the black pen.

The magentic ride is available on the 2015, 2016, and the 2017 models.
Interestingly enough the 2014 SS handle better and stop better than the other years.
The newer models have been made more comfortable.
They also get rid of the polished powder coated forged 19 inch rims that were standard on the 2014 and 2015.
The 2016 and 2017 have cast 19 inch rims.....
