Powered by a LS3 with ASA Cam putting down 555HP to the wheels through a Tremec T56 6 speed. Sitting on Boyd Coddington Wheels wrap by Michelin 245/40 ZR 18 in the front and 335/25 ZR 20 in the rear. CPP tubular A-arms with coilovers 4 Link rear with 9in and 4.11 gears. Vingtage Air sitting inside the custom interior and paint inspired by cardboard with custom fabrication done to the front splitter, fenders and trunk
Walking around the LS3 area, I found a bridge that looked over a dual carriage way, and I wanted to try out some shutter speed with my new camera. Forever one of my favourite techniques, and I can't wait to go out later again tomorrow to get more results!

The General Motors Zeta Platform was both the crowning achievement of GM’s Australian division – Holden, but also its swansong. Developed here, and sold as the VE-VF Commodore range, Zeta was to have underpinned a majority of GM’s premium and large models globally for all divisions.
Unfortunately, the GM bankruptcy of 2008 ruined all of that. The only other Zeta-derived production car was the Chevrolet Camaro.
The VE-VF though, was successful in Australia, the Commodore deriving sedan wagon, LWB and Utility versions.
The SS trim again noted the high-performance variants, which used the Chevrolet Gen4 pushrod V8 engine in 6.0 L capacity, producing 270 kW and 530 Nm. SS variants are identified by dual-dual exhaust outlets in the rear bumper.
In June 2013, the VE was replaced by a moderately restyled VF generation. As part of a 2015 VF II update, the SS migrated to the LS3 version of the Gen 4 V8. This saw a capacity increase to 6.2L, with power increasing to 304 kW and torque to 570 Nm.
2015 also saw the introduction of a special edition available on wagon and Ute, named ‘Sandman’ in reference to a similar stylistic trim pack available on the 1970s on the Kingswood full-size Holdens.
