VF Series II IS HERE - Part 2

W547 pack......

http://www.wheelsmag.com.au/reviews/...s-w547-review/

Not sure if it's been covered in this thread though GM is offering the brembo upgrade on all other V8 models other than the redline that have the 4 wheel brembos already.
Can anyone shed any light the $350 upgrade includes all four corners or just fronts?

The $350 upgrade is not for brembos. It's the "optional performance brake" package that uses a big single piston caliper that was designed for the US spec police cars.

Wow, $26k for 547kW. That's a bit. Think I'll be happy with the 430kW to be honest. At least my driveline will still be under warranty.

As the SSV has 19" rims maybe better a man buys the full brembo kit & installs after purchase.

I doubt SSV's will fit the brembos though. I had a look at some S1 SSV's which would definitely not fit them. It was hard enough finding some good aftermarket wheels to fit over the brembos.

Is that because of the pads as posted above?

Fronts MIGHT work but the problem is the caliper is fairly bulky and fouls on a lot of wheels spokes. A LOT of rear staggered wheels foul the front face of the Brembo 4 pot.

See the SSV & Redline do share same rim size, are the offset different on Redlines?

Fairly sure offset is the same, but there's a lot more spoke clearance on the rear of the redline wheels.

Any members on here picked one up yet ?

I picked this up on Friday. Awesome car.

Very nice..Redline ? Auto or manual ?

Redline, manual. Options I grabbed were rear wing, sports armor, motorsport mats and tint.

Also put a stubby antenna on it before I drove it out of the showroom.

Must say the black rims look good on the red, but don't agree that's the case on all though.
