In-game description[]
"Powered by a Corvette V8; experience the thrill of the thundering engine."
There are two similarities between the Chevrolet Corvette and the Holden Commodore SS. One is that both cars were made by General Motors, and the other, they came powered by the same 5.7-liter V-8, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
Think of the Commodore SS, released in 2002, as a family-sedan version of America's favorite sports car because although it has four doors and seating for five, the car's engine gives it a definite mean streak. In the Commodore SS's case, the powerplant produces a rear-tire smoking 335 HP and 354.4 ft-lb of torque. This allows the big sedan to run to 62 mph in 5.8 seconds, to the 400-m mark in 13.9, and reach a top speed of 155 mph.
The car also exhibited good handling manners. The fully-independent suspension system--struts up front and semi-trailing arms at rear--provided good stability through turns with slight understeer, while 235/40R18 high-performance tires ensured excellent grip.
Inside the sheet metal, the Commodore SS sported an interior with plenty of luxury features that included power seats, ideal for the family man or woman. The Commodore SS's high level of performance, comfort, and packaging made it the vehicle of choice for Australia's highway patrol. It even set the record in a highway-touring race around the continent, covering the 15,000-km distance in just six and a half days.
