Well I suppose Ross did his best to follow suit an look the part by stopping in at a petrol station in Lakemba to buy those sunnies LOL. Seriously those wheels, just the textbook Lebanese modification.
@Richorob , that's the whole idea of these cars man, it's the Sound, Power, Excitement that we all feel when we hear how loud a car can be, Deal with it 😂
It makes me so happy to see a young guy half my age with a passion for real cars. At your age I owned a 351 XB Coupe, then a 308 HQ< HJ then a Walkinshaw,, a VN and now my LS1 Vy Calais which is still having a shit load of money put into it. Even though I am in my mid 50s the V8 passion never dies. You are like a breath of fresh air, keep it up man.
I grew up in the era Ross is talking about. My first car was a VL Calais that eventually got a set of Gestalt Virouge chromies that where the rage at the time. My Brothers owned a VK Calais V8 and WB one tonner V8. I later owned a VL turbo Manual SL, VS Statesman V8, VT 9C1 V8 and my current ride is a VE SSV that i bought from Holden in 2009. I bought my son a VY L67 Calais for his first car. Its good to see Ross passionate about these vehicles and keeping them on the road. It would be a sad day indeed if we could no longer enjoy these cars.
I think it's the colour of the car people don't like not the rims, the rims don't look to bad, maybe chuck new Holden rims on it like VF rims Or VE Rims from whatever cars and whatever rims suit the car. its already got a big downfall with the Chevy and HSV badge on it, NO. Just no lol, nice car although Man.
Really enjoyed the review of the Grange. It’s a really luxury Aussie muscle car. They definitely were a lot of money back in the day. It sounds amazing. The 0-100 for this car is also amazing for its size and weight.
I still have my 98 wrx, harlequin gold to magenta pearl paint. It was in 2000 autosalon built by osman brothers. I dailied it for 20 years. Full sex spec. When I'm finished the new motor I may drop u a msg ross. Great vids. Keep up the good work mate.
Nice package...that car would wake up the dead.....man you love you job....and why wouldn't you....cars make us feel alive....keep that passion alive Johnny...great review ...
I kinda like my Wl ls1 Stato being quiet.. sighs.. my girl just tapping 162k... meanwhile the old Vr ute. is still kicking along.. nothing newer for me whilst my backside points toward the ground. I'd like to cam the wl.. and perhaps swap the heads out.. who knows.. Maybe one day i'll have enough spare coin to do it :) ahmm.. no rims like this one.. though .. they truley look shocking..
Those rims are hot bro, coming from a mad Sexspec nerd , they really do suit da hsv, I’m surprised there’s actually people hating on Sexspec in the comment section, don’t really see hate on Sexspec as much as the 2012-22 period.
All this talk of sex spec cars takes me back to my childhood, nfs underground and early fast and furious movies. Ppl really did go nuts with their cars and i was there for it. Some cars were questionable tho but thats also the point. That grange really put that smile on your face haha. Like a kid in a candy store literally 😂😂
No wonder it gets no traction... it appears they are 225 rears and Nexen N3000s? They were even crappy when they stopped making them like 10 years ago!
Ross you realy win "most assimilated immigrant of the decade." Love your aussie passion! Love your vids. Hope you get a chance to drive my senator one day.
the cops defected my ute less than a month after I changed the exaust, straight through 3inc with big "hotdog" in the middle. It was only a minor defect so I had 3 days to take it to an authorised mechanic then take the paperwork to the RMS and have it lifted. it ended up costing me almost $800. and all that in 3 days while I have to drive my ute for work, I don't work I don't fet paid, terrible cycle to be stuck in... it was however nice while it lasted, my misses hatted it, she'd put ear plugs in.
this being what feels like my 50th review. just a idea to float around, putting the car specs for each ride (if known) in the details below the video would be good for info to give others ideas etc for there own cars.
I am thinking of purchasing a Corvette stingray, either a 1970 or a 1977. 2 of which are my favourites, the 1970 I have a better chance to find a 454 in the hood with factory 450hp
Having the F@# time of your life brother 😂 & that's what it's all about hey,what a car man! everything you said I totally agree with,but I wish you would have drove past the local uni a few times a blue haired faries worst nightmare hahaha,I really loved this one Johnny thanks mate 🙏
Look out the 55 year old drug dealer is back!!..lookin to impress the girls at kfc 😂 Not you Ross, you a ledge mate.. thanks for not having the owner on video 👍
If I had more coin I would buy that to make it my 3rd wk wl grange and 4th stato. 1 a stroked & blown billet ls3 1 a freshened ls2 but more daily steetable 👍👍
Sick grange for sure , great video as usual mate. Gotta comment on the wipertech blades being rubbish, bought a set for my Navara ute and they are too hard and bounce all over the screen, not a good product.
everyone pls subscribe to this legend of a man so I can keep getting my daily doses of ross and his hilarious reaction faces lmao love the content bro keep up the good work
Needs a proper exhaust and proper wheels. Still too big and heavy for my liking but I'm sure there is a market for this type of car out there. Edit: I'm pretty sure a cammed LS2 can rev to 6800rpm, so if you held it in gear during the acceleration test, it would be even faster.
Thank you for the video Ross. You have been bringing the Holdens lately. It is appreciated. Why does this one have a Chevrolet badge as it is the Australian version. I know the Statesman/Caprice was exported to the Middle East and sold as Chevrolet Caprice there and to South Korea as the Daewoo Veritas and to China as the Buick Royuam. The next generation came to the United States as Chevrolet Caprice Police Pursuit Vehicle ( PPV) and China as Buick Park Avenue. Here is a video for those who want to see it in Chevrolet version: ua-cam.com/video/SB-vCyTklv4/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/-R5qPgKkgM8/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/mXhVwkJl8Rg/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/k-uc1wGuNlg/v-deo.html They had a Cadillac that fit the description of what you said in the video. It was the Cadillac CT6-V Blackwing: ua-cam.com/video/Md9HhzIAzLg/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/GyiKpkuEwNA/v-deo.html
Hey how are you I'm Ejay I'm from western Sydney Mt Druitt there's a commy over here called BBQ my partner and I think that u should really check it out
Is it loud then?? We have problems in the UK with noise limits, cameras with sound meters to record and prosecute drivers of loud vehicles... just something else to dodge. You clearly enjoyed it, I am not a fan of the badge, wheels... not for me TBH. Did send you an email a while back.....
This particular Grange unfortunately looks and sounds quite clapped out IMO... I reckon, take those wheels and the Chevy badge off, and put a proper exhaust on it... Also, how would it pass roadworthy without a catalytic converter? I will admit though, everything about this particular car is crazy!
Sorry but that's nowhere near sex spec. That Grange would be VIP style in my book: large luxury sedan in a dark colour, limo tint, lowered, aftermarket wheels. Look at 23QOUT as an example of a sex spec Holden.
Those wheels and chev badge on a HSV should be a crime
I don’t mind the wheels 😅
100% brother
Well I suppose Ross did his best to follow suit an look the part by stopping in at a petrol station in Lakemba to buy those sunnies LOL.
Seriously those wheels, just the textbook Lebanese modification.
Hahaha I reckon the wheels look good on it
Those wheels are hideous
get rid of that chev badge on the back and put the HSV one back on it tho lol
💯
Agreed 😅
couldn't agree more, It's insulting.
Totally… redo the exhaust a little too - It’s loud through the TV 😂

Thank you brother you lived through the best times 🫡
I dunno about my eardrums, but those wheels destroyed my retinas!
Wow that Sounds unreal. Rims and chev badge are shocking tho
Bro, your excitement and energy really resonated through in the video. I honestly felt like I was driving the car and experiencing that raw power
I appreciate that! So glad you felt it! I couldn’t believe how good this sounded in person
No, that resonating was the god awful exhaust! lol

Q: how much valvetrain noise would you like

YES 🗿
Not before those aftermarket wheels and head unit destroy my eyes. Such a shame..

How to make a really nice and scarce car look like a blinged up Lancer.
Needs the shopping trolley spoiler to complete the stupidity.
It’s been like this since the early 2000s when it was made.. I love the vibes and can see past all that.
This car sounds mental old school with huge cam n/a love it .
So damn good
