Nice one Ross. Overhead and passing shots giving your videos a real quality look to them A certain breakfast cereal would be jealous of the Snap, Crackle and Pop on the overrun!
@@ighfee did man got one my first ss silver just a sieres 1 with 124 on the clock in October im in love with it but more saving before anything like this ever hahaha... but this wow thats why im jelouse this is just mad this thing you have done a mad job👌
Likewise, I've got a 08 ssv with otr, exhaust good tune and suspension. Flat shift 1 to 2 and can easily hit a 5.01 time and time again. Traction control definitely needs to be turned off though.
Ross reviews do u think a 2004 equivalent to vz with 60k kms is desirable going forward. The poor old statesman which probably is comparable performance wise and comfort wise to a bmw for a quarter of the price gets no attention.
Bloody sick car this definitely deserves a trip to Mexico for some 80 to 140 and 100 to 200 pulls this thing would be a beast on the open Mexican highways.
@@mikenolan3060 Cheers mate, was more thinking a high speed ring or straight strip ie salt flats where you have enough road to hit the top speed of the car
Nice ute 3x xr8s thatl go down well I'm impressed most holden reviews its obvious your a Ford guy but I think you threw them under the bus on this one. .👍🤣
the wheelspin will always be there. main reason i lost time was not wanting to burn the clutch. if you watch the tacho, i'm babying it for the first 2 seconds until it gets going. then the needle goes straight to redline
@@videomaker8207 actually traction control was on, you need it off for full power, otherwise the computer cuts it. having the diff and clutch looked at next week, will give it another belt once repairs complete
Ross whens you mom going to do another review, i just loved the way she handled a stick shift, i find younger women today cant drive a stick shift, i love seeing a real woman that knows how to handle a stick shift
Owner here,ok a few things, first the whole setup wasn't really about 0-100, more to overtake road trains ie 80-160, plus it's a ute with zero weight in the back. I did another one with my nephew a few months back and you just cannot get the wheels to grip in first, the thing just smokes and redlines while the speedo says 60 or something. As Johnny says, if it had 305s at the back and weighed down with concrete bags maybe, but 1st and 2nd gear forget it. That thing wheels spins 1st 2nd and 3rd past 100 before it gains full traction.

thank you man trying to bring that better quality.. the sound on this ute was epic eh
That Ute sounds bloody mean and I hope you have a merry Christmas Johnny
Cheers brotha 🍻🇦🇺
Thank you man! Yes great sounding ute
Hey Johnny what a nice SS Ute & sounds bloody mean too,you do the best reviews great stuff buddy.
Thank you kindly
Another fantastic one!! Wow that's a great Holden!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Another great review Ross! Merry Christmas to you and the family. 👍
Happy holidays! thanks you too m8
I have driven this and its an absolute beast.
This exact car? 😳 yeh she rips eh
Yeh mate this car, including a trip to bunnings in the trade section.
Was entertaining driving inside....
Yeah Johnny, Nathan's my brother in law, I was suspended so he had to drive it lol 😜
Love the video mate, top quality and entertaining review :)
Thanks man glad you enjoyed it 👏 more to come like this
20k worth of performance upgrades is well worth the smiles and giggles 🤙
100% money well spent
If you got it to through at it for sure but now
im just jelouse
@@The-od1-out save your pennies mate and you can own one. next mod for this car is a set of brembos and koya sf06 wheels
@@ighfee did man got one my first ss silver just a sieres 1 with 124 on the clock in October im in love with it but more saving before anything like this ever hahaha... but this wow thats why im jelouse this is just mad this thing you have done a mad job👌
@@The-od1-out thanks mate, 20k in so far, and with wheels, brakes, clutch and diff, will be another 20k, then it will be finished (i hope)
Loved that👍 happy holidays 🍺
Cheers brotha🍻
Love that grin just rolling onto it 😄😄😄😁👌
Oh man it was eye watering 😳💦
God vid mate.. deffs up your alley this one.. kinda like your old ba Ute on steroids 🙏
I love a good ute especially when it’s yellow and loud 🤪
Absolute weapon is right! Love it
Definitely went hard eh!
My favourite at all Holden any Day
Beauty Ute
Sweet ute mate merry Christmas 👍👍
Happy holidays! thanks brotha
can never beat the sound of a v8 😫
this ute sounds so good eh.. loved this one
2j my friend🤷♂️
Or Barra
@@joshuafrancis5348 neither of those sound as good as a lumpy v8 they sound nice but never as nice as a v8
Merry Christmas 🎄 Johno 👋🤙
thanks brotha you too!
Sounds amazing but I was expecting a slightly quicker 0 - 100
Probably loss of traction causing that as U see in the video bc it's so light in the ass end
And as much as you want to snap second those gearboxes just don't like it so ya pretty much can't. On revs that car would be quick AF 👌😁
@@murdy2187 pretty much, we just bounced up the hill, didn't get full traction until about 80. Plus I wasn't keen on frying the clutch on takeoff lol
Likewise, I've got a 08 ssv with otr, exhaust good tune and suspension. Flat shift 1 to 2 and can easily hit a 5.01 time and time again.
Traction control definitely needs to be turned off though.
@@D_J_G88 Still 2 tenths slower than a bone stock 08 xr6 turbo that does 4.8s all day.
Do you think you will ever own a Holden/hsv?
Yes... I really want a VZ ute
Merry Christmas to you bro
Thx u man
Merry Christmas bro
Thx you man
love the sound
So good eh
I would love to modify my statesman v8 but I think they will go up in value at some point
keep her factory man.. unless your gonna keep it for life
Ross reviews do u think a 2004 equivalent to vz with 60k kms is desirable going forward. The poor old statesman which probably is comparable performance wise and comfort wise to a bmw for a quarter of the price gets no attention.
Love it 👌
I'm glad you like it
Sweeeeeeet
😎👍🤙🇦🇺
Moist farts
Lol Johnny, thanks for blacking out my number plates :D
just on the cover pic tho 😅🤦♂️
@@RossReviewsau oh no, now the cops will come round looking for me haha
@@ighfee she be right m8🤙🇲🇽
Stock rods and pistons? I wonder how they will hold up
Yes stock internals 😅
Should be able to handle 600whp, as long as you don’t flog the shit out of it
@@mitchell5064 true, never had problems, next upgrade will be the brakes followed by an NPC triple plate clutch
Stock bottom end in an L98 is actually good for about 800. Because the rods and pistons were built to handle the high torque from factory
Cant go wrong with aussie SS ute 😉
i love a good ute :)
Should I cam or supercharge my stock LS I’m unsure what’s safer for the car
i did both, don't worry a v8 can easily handle it
@@ighfee I an up to the Diffs now, I am consdering just going straight into the charger - Max power 600HP is all i want.
@@Aaron-fj1hl take it to a performance mods shop, they'll give you all the options and prices
@@Aaron-fj1hl you'll most likely need a race clutch, 600 is more than the stock clutch will take, diff should be ok
Manual, big S/C, 245 tyres = nightmare to consistently get off the line or cleanly accelerate below 80km/h. You’re a sadist mate 😜
def needs 305s at the rear like that mustang haha
This will be a bloody rippa
My mic has issues but I rigged up the exhaust so atleast we hear that more 😅 still a cool vid
Bloody sick car this definitely deserves a trip to Mexico for some 80 to 140 and 100 to 200 pulls this thing would be a beast on the open Mexican highways.
@@mikenolan3060 is there anywhere in Australia you can do a legal high speed run? I'd love to see what the top speed is
@@ighfee Hi fella sick car! Maybe racewars in Albany its a 800 and 1000m race. If you go take Ross with ya and get him to film
@@mikenolan3060 Cheers mate, was more thinking a high speed ring or straight strip ie salt flats where you have enough road to hit the top speed of the car
Just googled xr6 (Non turbo) 0-100 time, 6.2seconds.
haha true.. but it was uphill and the car is to powerfull needs wider tires
@@RossReviewsau and not raining lol 😜
Nice ute 3x xr8s thatl go down well I'm impressed most holden reviews its obvious your a Ford guy but I think you threw them under the bus on this one. .👍🤣
call it how i see it lol.. this is running over 600whp supercharged so yeh def felt like near on 3 stock BA xr8s (older V8s)
What’s done to it?? Like what exhaust what supercharger etc
Says it in the video but 3" hurricanes, extractors, 2.3L Magnusson blower, running 10lb, race cam, now has Harrop brakes with Koya wheels
@@ighfee cheers
@@ighfee i couldnt find any full huricane exhausts, is it just catback or something??

That thing looks and sound mean as
its a weapon eh! hes since put bigger brakes on it too :)
! Lol @ LUV it from London @ GO AUSTRALIA
Goes just like a V8 supercar !
really does!
As the trash panda says ... Ohhhh ... Yeaaaaaaaah!
send it
What wheels are on this, does anyone know?
Hi mate, they are 20" PDWs, and they're for sale. I changed the brakes and had to also change the wheels
@@ighfee What brakes did you upgrade to? I'm looking at upgrading mine in the not so distant future, need to ensure they fit
@@xmymiddleleg I was originally going Brembo brakes but then got Harrop ultimate kit
What superchager is this
magnuson :) think 2300
Magnusson heartbeat 2.3L charger running 10psi
Got a bunch of spiders on your shirt homie.
🌴 🤣
I reckon the Ute would be like 4 seconds 0-100 without the wheelspin while changing gears
oh it would be ballistic if it could hook up! was SCARY FAST
the wheelspin will always be there. main reason i lost time was not wanting to burn the clutch. if you watch the tacho, i'm babying it for the first 2 seconds until it gets going. then the needle goes straight to redline
Most of the time it will, you just need to have traction control on and remember to build the revs as well as he in the perfect condition
@@videomaker8207 actually traction control was on, you need it off for full power, otherwise the computer cuts it. having the diff and clutch looked at next week, will give it another belt once repairs complete
Or did he miss first & pull off in second
Weapon.😱
scary! very very scary lol
And it was found to be good...
that is a crunchy note
Love it
❤
Where about you driving here
canning dam
Ross whens you mom going to do another review, i just loved the way she handled a stick shift, i find younger women today cant drive a stick shift, i love seeing a real woman that knows how to handle a stick shift
Not fair not on instaspam
haha send me a pic of your ride on FB then :p
Interior is a1
0-100 wasn't really an accurate time in my opinion
it was a very rough time i know

Thx to send message:)
No problem 😊
He said it 3x better then xr8 lol 😂 Holden vs Ford Holden won
well its Newer than my old BA XR8, its modified to over 608rwhp, of course it would feel 3 times the car than my old 200,000km BA ute🤣
A taxi that can only carry one passenger that is barely faster than an ACTUAL taxi?
oh come one m8... we all know that the falcons are taxis😉
cant get behind that yellow
yeah it's not everyone's cup of tea, people either love it or hate it lol
