#CarReviewsUnplugged
This is a loose review, you won't have a bloody degree in vehicle engineering by the end of this video!! Shout out to all my Holden, Vauxhall, Chevy SS owners around the world, especially my Holden owners back home in AUS. I love these cars and life will never be the same without Holden!!!
This is my 2015 Holden VF Commodore or Chevrolet SS Sedan. Obviously stock it came naturally aspirated, RWD, 6M, V8. Purchased new in 2015 with Chevrolet badging, I have slowly turned this once stock Chevy SS Sedan back into her former Holden glory with a lot of upgrades including the Supercharger.
Shout out to Aaron & the crew @ Winning Formula in Louisville KY, Hal & the crew @ Dynosty in Louisville KY, & Jason Dugger & crew @ Bob Hook Chevrolet and all the guys @ Roberts Electronics in Louisville KY for always taking care of my pride and joy.
And yes, I know this car is not a naturally aspirated V8 anymore!!!! During the vlog I make reference to the NA base line vehicle from stock, I am not talking about its current setup, but rather the dying breed of 4dr RWD V8 sedans. Follow me on Instagram @vadimdale

Worked for Holden's. Our line built the Commodore sedan, Monaro and the ute's. Got to drive a few of the American versions while recovering from an injury, they went a bit harder with the factory mods for the American market. Great product and a great place to work. Built my own VE and still drive it today, we were allowed to follow it around the factory at each station you'd let the operators know it was yours and each job was perfect. Good people.

@@vadimdale22 It was good fun mate following your car around. A few guys on our line bought the current models and got to do it. You just got to hope you're on shift when it goes online. The car takes on a greater meaning when you've seen a lot of it built. It's a shame it went the way it did. For years while the US plants were struggling we were turning a profit, Elizabeth was running 3 shifts with the plant operating 24 hrs a day for a few years. Only allowed to ever export X amount into the US. GM really did us no favours and then bailed on us after Obama saved their collective arses. Our Government was no help either when we needed them most. It ended more than a car company like you said the Ford Holden rivalry is decades old. The muscle cars that have come and gone through those years, Bathurst the V8 Supercars. Brocky whose face was all over the plant. Was on afternoon shift the day the news came through he'd died in an accident. The whole plant to a man and woman was sombre you could feel it in the air the loss was so immense. It was a religion, when two teams go to war you were either Ford or Holden lol. That will be missed forever.

Did you put the GTSR brakes on the car? forged 6-piston AP Racing monoblock calipers with 410mm front rotors, The brembos will not hold up to that cars power if you ever test it lol, It is 5.5k but i get a feeling that is chump change on that beast ;) Edit: after watching the whole video, you didn't.

Vadim Dale, mate you are a pissa! Love the SS and what you've done to it.... only thing i'm not a big fan of is the VE GTS wheels, but that's me i love big dish or concave! I have a my 14 Fantale Orange SSV Redline, i love it but it shits me that my seats dont have SS embroidered in them, or have the alloy vent that the US ones do, they look so much better with it! I only have the 6.0ltr in mine but it's pushing around 400kw with nearly 700nm torque NA and when i get the money, a GT45 turbo will be going on it! I'm a bit of a fan of Carbon Fibre so the fake CF inserts on the interior do not do it for me at all, i will replace them with real CF ones along with a bonnet, rear diffuser and anywhere else will look good!

And yes it's a 6 spd. I laughed when my mate brought a series 2 redline wagon cause it's auto lol. Oh don't get me wrong, they are a great looking rim, but when i see VE rims on a VF, my initial thought is "it's a VE" until i stop looking at the wheels if that makes sense? There are so many awesome aftermarket wheels now.....I had matte black Simmons FR20's on the car when i brought it, i've always wanted them but as soon as i got them, i sore them EVERYWHERE lol....so i swapped them for staggered 20 inch Lenso D1R Drift wheels, 9 up front and 10 on the rear with i'm pretty sure the biggest dish you can have on a VF without tubbing it, i reckon i could sit a small kid in the dish lol And being a spray painter on the side and getting all my paint for free, i painted the wheels satin black, along with the front bar inserts, the side vents, rear diffuser, and all badges The roof is wrapped but it looks shit so im going to take it off and paint it black as well! I do have the chrome handles that you have, but everything else is blacked out which looks soo tuff and stealth on the orange! I have also sacked it on it's balls (coilovers, but will be bagging it) and taken off the rear wing, which makes it look so much better. The standard lines the car has is perfect! I'll get some pics up when i can I really really hate my seats after seeing yours, i dont know what Holden were thinking but they put a white suede insert down the middle of the seats (i have the white suede throughout mine) but that's it! It goes black if you look at it the wrong way let alone sitting on it, but they just look so plain and shit! I used to have an airbagged 2002 HSV GTS Coupe and even the interior in that was shit for a $110,000 aud car! They should've stuck with the Recaros they used to run up to the VY!

Hey, I hear what you are saying in regards to a brand. When I was in New Zealand a few years ago I kept seeing these and really liked them. Especially that exhaust note. Heck the only reason I'm even here watching this video is I actually saw a Holden on the road here in Texas yesterday. I was like, WTF is that badge. And then I remembered my time in New Zealand. I was more commenting on the the SS Sedan version Chevy had here in the States for a short time. I'm sure you know it was a complete failure. It shouldn't have been. No marketing and bad price point for features modders don't really care for. Sweet car though. when the used market prices come down to 15-20k I'd consider getting one. But, I'd rather have a Holden just for the sleeper aspect.

I worked there and there was so much wastage, on day shift it was completely top heavy with ridiculous amounts of supervisors and tradies who did nothing all day. Old men and women who were kept around long past their use by date, who couldnt do any job so had jobs tailor made for them as some sort of loyalty perk. The union was too overbearing and kept alot of people's jobs who didnt deserve them, such as a woman on arvo shift who would come into work 1-2 times a week either high or drunk and would be allowed to either sleep in the smoko room or go lay down at the medical centre.

But i was happy there and it was frustrating to see so many people who worked there have zero passion for their work and the company, and i was never a Holden fan when i was younger but i appreciated cars and felt pride in my work.

Only $40k US unmodified. US citizens get it all for peanuts. We pay through the nose in Australia, the land where everything gets worse over the years. We're all stuck with front wheel drive SUVs and you cannot but a rear wheel drive car new now. The Aussie govt stuffed up badly by not helping continuing support for Ford, Holden and Toyota. Thousands of engineers, body makers, trimmers etc lost their jobs. Useless Abbott government.

graham answerth absolutely agree 100%. It’s a freakin disgrace what the Aussie govt is doing to its own people, they should have their asses kicked and then thrown out. What a bloody joke it is, frustrates me big time.
