Hey bros ChevySS here in Vegas,

Good news! Our beloved SS is getting track-tested in my vicinity and I've got some photos of the track car. With that, we should probably expect some solid performance numbers as well as reviews and so forth. Here are the photos. ENJOY!!

Did you take the pics? If so what's your impression on first appearances? This must mean it'll be close to getting some reviews out and about

Thanks for posting.

Who, what, when, & where and any other details about the testing?


CorvetteForum member "[email protected]" (@ is spelled "a", forum nannies think sk-ank is a bad word) was at Laguna Seca and posted detailed info and results from the Motor Trend test of the C7, 911, and Ferrari F12 a month before the test was pu
blished....... just saying.

The "SS"s on the dash look like ZZ. Code for sleeper?

 

[SSS]

how did this SS get over here? Someone rush delivered it on the back of a cigarette boat?

@ChevySS do they have it out on the oval or is some one pushing it through a circuit?

 

[Tarnath]

They had a red SS on display at Barret-Jackson back at the beginning of August.

Fellas,
The pictures were taken by my buddy who works at the dealer. It was a very exclusive event (not even family allowed). He got to test drive a 2014 Stingray and told me that the one he drove did 0-60 in 3.8. Anyways, I am going to see him tomorrow and he told me he had plenty of photos and a few vids! I will upload after I talk to him.
I don't know how this SS got here. My guess is it actually is the same one from Barrett-Jackson since it just so happens to be red without a sunroof.

All I know is the guy that pulled the SS out for the drive was a professional driver and some tests were getting done. I will relay more info/numbers soon as I can! stay tuned...

ChevySS,
Which dealer are you working with in Las Vegas? I live here as well and I went to Findlay Cheverolet a few times to discuss the SS. They are getting 2 of them. One black and I think the other one is red. I'm definitely interested in the black one (I know...the heat. But it's only 3 months out of the year). I think Vegas will eventually get 10 to 15 SS sedans by the end of the year.

I'd guess that the SS that was being tested would be either an early pilot car built on the line or a hand assembled pilot/ early build.

I believe all the journalist testers that Holden used for first tests and reviews were early pre production pilot builds. In these instances the fit/ finish and trim isn't necessarily the final trim.

Hey did I miss understand or did someone say that you guys would not get a 2014 model till Feb 2014. If is the body style changing for the car that the SS is built off of will change from its current look. If so this maybe the reason for only 3300 or so being built for 2014 they would switch over and build 2015 models in Feb. This just popped into my head last night.

So the first time I saw these pictures i didn't even click on them, now that i did, im glad I did, the rear of the SS in red looks amazing. Seems as if the paint is flawless, no noticeable orange peel

 

[SSS]

I like the SS' smokey tails and how the rear deck is multi leveled. lots of layers and fluidity in the design that most of the 'official' pictures hide....

definitely staying tuned, cheers on the details ChevySS

Here in aus model year only means the year of manufacture,
depending on the amount of change we will either do nothing or go to series II like was done during VE in 2010 when the dash and some cosmetic changes were done with the front.

 

[Big Block Meister]

Thanks for the post. Where was this exactly?

Aww man this feels good at least we have some traces now to work with. the interior is nice.

I don't think we'll see a series II IN THE commodore range again. VE was never meant to have a series II. I'll have a look on carsales later when I have better connection to check out model year designations I am sitting behind a truck waiting for a dock with 3G.
