@@PeRRXX The Dodge charger... Is showing something different....everybody and their favorite stripper has one of those things.... And that's exactly why I bought a 2014 Chevy SS... If they market it right I think a rear wheel drive V8 would have sold out here
quadir reed most charger sells are the V6 model. Us enthusiasts want them, but the common buyers wants something FWD/AWD, and with a V6 or four banger. I do see a lot of RWD cars in Vegas, but that’s only because snow isn’t an issue.
@@PeRRXX yeah you're probably right.... I'm giving you my opinion from being up in northern California.... In Sacramento.... Shit we love our rear-wheel drives up here....lol
@@PeRRXX not true. When chevy sold the SS there were zero options (except option for a spare tire or fixaflat kit), zero advertising (no one knew it was a thing), and held the last year models for over a year because of a seat belt issue. Can't sell something no one knows is for sale.
Goodness what a gorgeous vehicle!!! Wild they used these are police pursuit vehicles. Obviously the interiors here were bottom of the line. Great ride sir!!
Wow! This is the nicest Holden Caprice I have ever seen, but it is definitely too low. I was hoping you had air suspension installed where you could just move a level or press a button to raise and lower it as you choose which would prevent rubbing.
I have an April 2017 compliance WN Caprice V seriesII with the 6.2ltr LS3 motor. Only mod i've had done is an exhaust, long tube headers and 3" Genie exhaust. I am baffled as to why people lower these things, they ride beautifully with the stock suspension. Yours looks way too low and I'm guessing the ride would be horrendous on Perth roads, especially in the country! These cars are big & roomy, they look very classy, I absolutely love it, with one exception... The fuel consumption! Mine is averaging 14.4ltrs/100km around town. That does drop to around 11ltrs/100km in the country.
I got my first Aussie V8 in Dec last year as a weekend fun car but now I want a V8 for a daily driver too and I love the shape of the Caprice. It's on my wish list.
Looks great... roll the fenders down on the dogleg in the rear. That's where it's rubbing. After rolling fenders on 200+ cars, with that fitment you've got, that's where you're probably getting the most noise :) This car is beautiful! Fell in love with the long wheelbase Caprices while i was in Melbourne and Sydney.
Fancy seeing you here Ivan...stumbled across this as I am currently looking for a 14+ PPV. It'll take a princely sum to get the interior as nice as this one though.
Or he could just use the proper factory specified tyres which are not a 285 width for the caprice they are 245/35 R20 all the way around , and the HSV specs he was wrong about the tyres are supposed to be 275/30 on the rear and 245/35 on the front ! Those are factory specs and they make tyres and rims specific for a reason , even the HSV offset on that rim are not suited to the caprice , caprice all around have an offset of ET38 and the HSV have an offset of ET48 for front and ET 57 for the back it means the rims are out of specification for this car and would make the car unstable at high speed
When I get my PPV in the states I’m going to need to find someone to ship me parts from Australia cause I want some of the stuff the ppv’s don’t come with in the states... awesome car
Parts are cheap here and the US dollar is a lot higher than the Aussie dollar. So you could have a really unique PPV in the states pretty cheap and easy!
I assume your on NewCaprice forum and FB pages? I just bought a grille /badge combo from Homart for my '11 PPV and it arrived in a week. It was cheaper than Holdenpartsusa who was sold out of their kit.
Escape. Force1 - the easiest way to get one in The States is to check a Police Auction, since the Holden Caprice was sold in USDM exclusively as the Chevy Caprice PPV (the Chevy SS was the shorter Commodore). Most were the regular version, but there was a rarer "Detective version", which didn't had (or doesn't need to be removed) certain specialized equipment. I do believe all US-spec Caprice were V8's (mostly the same 6.2L LS3 shown here, but with "only" 415 / 415 output". You can then modify it more or less (Australian or American-sourced, since these have US-made LS engines).
I own a wn 2015 caprice in Australia best thing I ever bought. Why GM didn't export this car to the U S is beyond me.They have closed GM Holden in Australia in2017 and about a month ago February 2020 they are totally withdrawing from Australia leaving there customers and dealers in the lurch. The once largest car maker in the world is working its way back to being the smallest car company , G M doesn't want to make RHD cars any more must be to hard.If you guys in the US want a Caprice try to import a second hand LHD caprice from one of the rich countries in the Middle East that was Holden bigest export market. Regards Phil from aus
Phil Tuesley - the US-spec Caprice PPV's were (IIRC) all V8's, mostly the 415/415 NA-6.2L the SS (US version of the Commodore) had, but probably the Magnetic Dampers didn't make it to the option list of Caprice, as it did on the SS. There was also a Detective version that looked (didn't had to be installed some of the equipment the regular Police version had) more like a Civilian Aussie Caprice. Phil, I have the feeling GM is PREPARING TO BE SOLD in several years as they have become a way too small company to be kept independent (reason why PSA is still into buying FCA as a whole; they don't want to become easy target for M&A). GM is now "selling their Thai plant" that makes pickups and SUV's. And it doesn't need to be an existing auto maker, just have enough capital...
Concerning the rub, you might look into getting your fenders rolled to get more clearance. My VE G8 had nasty rubbing until they were rolled. Eastwood sells a wheel well roller, or you might be a local shop that has them.
Hello sir I know you uploaded the video 2 years ago and today I saw it for the first time I've been in love with this car for a long time and I don't use any other kind of Caprice I want to ask you about how to export abroad. I want to buy one with the same specifications But the biggest problem is that I am in the Arab Gulf, specifically in the State of Kuwait, and in the Middle East it is forbidden and contrary to the laws that the steering wheel is on the right side and must be on the left side. Therefore, I would like to ask you, do you have a Caprice with the same specifications and the steering wheel is on the left side? I repeat my apologies to you, sir, if I caused you any inconvenience. Thank you
I believe they were sold in the Middle East as the Chevy caprice maybe able to export them from other local countries. But I looked up Chevy caprice Kuwait and was able to find a few things

Put the original suspension back in it. They look and drive beautifully, Buddy of mine has Same Caprice and he lowered it. It is horrendous to ride in, bone jarring, teeth rattling horrible. Why, Why, Why.... Comfort over looks any day.
Wrong tyre sizes , reason why they rub are 285 width is too wide , if you look it up holden caprice have 245/35 R20 all the way around , the HSV specs you are wrong about HSV senators have 245/35 R20 on the front and on the rear they have 275/30 R20 , they make those manufacturers specifications for a reason , if you had 275 width even they would not rub , however because it’s a caprice they are supposed to be 245/35 all around , also the HSV have a way different rim offset to the caprice on caprice offset is ET38 all around , on HSV the offset is ET 48 on front and ET 57 on back ! The way you have put those rims on and tyres actually make the car dangerous to drive
@@KLoNe1 That sucks! Holden made some awesome V8 cars! Too bad they're pretty much defunct now... Sad that they stopped making the Commodore/Caprice in 2017. Stupid move on Chevrolet/Holden's part!!
Looks like a killer daily with some wicked features for the price, and that idle....yes!
Thanks mate, such a fun daily!
Why Chevy didn't make that the new impala in the us is beyond me that thing is nice......has the same dash as the Chevy ss
I don’t think it would sell in the US. People don’t want RWD V8s anymore.

THIS exact car, blacked out/murdered out, would be my dream ! Props from TX my dude, she's nyice !
Lovely car. I really miss our car industry ☹️
I wish they sold these in the states Australia got all the cool cars
Goodness what a gorgeous vehicle!!! Wild they used these are police pursuit vehicles. Obviously the interiors here were bottom of the line. Great ride sir!!
Love the car. It looks so much better than the VF.

I still want to convert a PPV into a Statesman. One of my longtime goals / dream cars i want to own. Will go great with my US Market 2011 Impala LT
Hi
absolutely gorgeous car man, you got a hell of a car, been wanting something like this for the longest
This is Licenzion Chevrolet Caprice/Pontiac G8/Daewoo Veritas. Nice car !
This is the original
JUST WANT ONE!!!!!!! Holden forever

Lowered is terrible. Needs better shocks tho and adj sway bars front and rear. Then you can set the bars to your style of driving.
I love with chevy caprice. I owned 2007 and now I have the 2011 and I am searching for another caprice but the 2016 model 😍 I like the new interior
I have 2013 for sale
I got my first Aussie V8 in Dec last year as a weekend fun car but now I want a V8 for a daily driver too and I love the shape of the Caprice. It's on my wish list.
they've held their value in 5 years. they're still around 30-35k

Already rolled and flared out slightly with a hammer. The VF HSV rims are just a bit too agressive in offset.

Just bought one too
Killa wheel choice👍
Yeah fuck yeah the wheels could not be any better....this man has taste
With those wheels and profile, at a glimpse it looks like an Audi A8L.
Congratulation on the purchase and I think she looks amazing.
But I do love your numberplate.😁

They did export the Caprice to the U.S. as a police car only ... it was called the Caprice PPV (police patrol vehicle)
We got the Caprice, but it wasn’t sold to civilians, unless you bought second hand.

I rolled all 4 gaurds and even got a hammer onto them haha. The offset of the HSV wheels is just a bit too aggressive so I'll run some skinnier tyres.

Did you say 285 tires on hsv?
Hmm not to many of those they should have made more with the impala Impala and caprice go hand and hand can't have one without the other
🇸🇦🤩
What settings are your coil overs on? My caprice is rough as hell, soften them up and it becomes bouncy
Front and rear are both in the middle dampening setting, yeah it does get floaty over jumps! The cheap XYZ coilovers aren't the best.
