Greetings from San Jacinto, CA. I have been a long time ”lurker” on this board and last month bought my second Chevy SS. I owned a 2007 G8 GT a few years ago and a 2017 NGM manual which I sold last June. I missed the SS so much that I bought a 2017 HW automatic. i will not be selling this one anytime soon!

It's been a year now. I'm still waiting for a new member to come aboard after purchasing a 2014 Heron White SS with no sunroof, purchased at Carmax in Buena Park, CA plate#(1st and last number deleted)FLW11(as far as I could trace it), a year ago this past weekend. All I have left for you now is the complete service records and advice, all the other stuff is gone. If you(who ended up with this car), feel free to PM me.

I just purchased a 2016 SS in Slipstream Blue with no sunroof and with a spare. I suspect the previous owner is or was on here Ma Plates that read HOLDEN.

I had a 2006 GTO with a manual and loved that car and wanted to have something similar and the SS has much of the same feel just with more bells and whistles.
The SS is a perfect family car to go with my C8. What the Corvette lacks in involvement the SS has in spades. Both cars perform well above their weight class so to speak.

Greetings peeps! Just picked up a 17 NGM, dealer I work at got it as an off the street purchase and I knew I was gonna own it! Doubtful anyone here is around the Central Montana area but I cant wait to enjoy this car!
Congrats on your new car and welcome to the forum. I believe there are still a few members here from Montana currently, and a few more who have sold their car and moved on. If you do an advanced search for "Montana" in the search bar you should come up with numerous hits.

New owner: 2016 PBM M6, Roof, Spare (#120 of #126)

Like many of you, I was obsessed over this car since it came out but could never afford it. I began looking at listings daily last year and finally came across the unicorn. Obviously the SS is rare in and of itself, and more so with a manual. But I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I found this listing, reasonably priced, with a full exterior Holden conversion and... 1,441 miles on the odometer. I jumped on it immediately.

Since I was blinded by the opportunity, I asked very few questions of the dealership (located in Washington near Seattle) other than the basic, "Is there anything wrong with it?" It wasn't until it was delivered that I realized it is truly pristine, and the original owner had graciously included all of the original parts (including stock cold air intake, upgraded to Rotofab) in the trunk. I rushed to purchase a car cover from California Car Covers only to find out the owner even included one in the trunk. So that will be another post in a different thread for someone interested in a brand new, discounted custom car cover.

I previously owned a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT... couldn't at the time afford a GXP.

As a daily driver in winter weather, it was not ideal, so I moved on and continued dreaming of the SS. I've arrived and couldn't be more thrilled.

Hello, i'm new here. Thinking of pulling the trigger on a 16. I have been going through the forum and wondering how many active people are still around. I have a ton of question but waiting to see if I'm going to go ahead and get the SS first. I'll continue to read thru the forum and gather as much info as possible.

Well it happened. Triggered pulled and bagged a 16 SS. I'll post pics when I pick it up. I have soooooo many questions haha. A lot of this will be reading thru the forums and gathering info......

1st one is - Anyone in the Atlanta area or GA in general?

2nd - Anyone know of reputable shops around this area. I'm talking about quality work ( someone that cares about craftmanship and takes pride in their work and stands on it ).
a. Looking at most so far to do headers, (x-pipe or h-pipe - no clue which is better ) back to factory mufflers. I would like to keep the bi-modal presence. Oh CAI, VCM looks nice.
b. Need to get the paint sorted and ceramic coated (might be the 1st thing I do ).

3rd - Tires wheels - so far like the VS-07 ( I like the concaved look rims ). Not sure what tires to with ( kinda like the continentals but i'm unsure ). I do not want to lower or roll/pull fenders. Now, i could lower but I want to keep the Magnetic Ride Control.

4. Would like to switch out some of the badging for Holden. Can't see my self paying 600 or so for the airbag though. I would like to have the radio done and I do like the "extra" info you get as well with that service.

Thank you for any assists in my endeavors...haha

Welcome and congrats, lots of threads on the topics you are interested in, but if you don’t see the answer you need feel free to ask. Still quite a few original owners on the board and plenty of 2d and 3rd Gen now…and everyone has an opinion. ;-)

Congratulations on the SS! Thoughts on your list:

!. Not me.
2. No.

3. Check with forum vendor Jon @bestwheeldeals.com as he can tell you what will depending on if you lower or not, and set you up with the correct offset based on that decision. If you lower and keep the magride make sure to have a ride height recalibration done on the magride, otherwise the system will "think" the vehicle is under load and it will probably ride like a grain truck.

4. From what I've seen on here, Holden badges are much like a CAI. Once that Pandora's box has been opened... You'll start with the grille and trunk no doubt. You'll need to hurry on that radio btw., the service is still available but we're not sure for how long.


All of that and then you get in and see a Chevy bowtie on the steering wheel? Start saving now. ;)
