VZ SS ute with the 6.O L 6 speed manual.
I tried to get one when they came out in 2006 but the idiots only could get auto's and i was waiting for about 4 months and just gave up.

I did like the VK SS Group A the blue one with the red motor years ago but they are to old now. 502 were made
I don't know what the HDT VK SS Group A/Group3 is ? only 48 made but i know a dude in Maryborough back in about 1985 had some blue Group A, he owned the lamey bridge car yard, but i think it had a smaller exhaust on it than the dude who ran a pub in Maryborough at the same time, with one. as his was a weapon with a nice cam note big exhaust and the motor was red and it was factory stock std.

Ahhh memories of my first reverse-doughies on grass ... good times.
A best mate of mine bought a camira wagon brand new back in the day as his brother used to work for Holden and got him a deal, he only sold it 3 yr's ago.
Was one of the best car's he ever owned and was still going strong till the day he sold it, never had any major issues and I still see the car around town today.
He is not and never has been a person to thrash his car's, a car to him is a reliable vehicle that get's him from A to B.

Many years ago, a friend of one of my cousins had a beautiful HQ 350 Statesman, black with a white interior. That was a pretty cool car and went well, too.

A new Opel. OK they are not a Holden, but Holden did pretend for a long time.

but to drive and ride?? just did not expect the competence from the market level that the Camira sold in

A SSV Ute, of course it has the best mass produced V8 on the planet, so it is a bonus and a no-brainer choice.

Bench seat and flat alu, tray would have been nice, LPGi too

Nice looking GTS!
I also think They look cool in yellow.




I like the odd colour combos.. I saw a new black and red FPV GT Rspec - fantastic!
