Happy Birthday to the VN SS

It’s now been 20 Years since the first VN SS rolled out, marking a new era in Aussie V8’s.

As one bloke said on another website, “it took an imported US small block, designed in the 1990s, to better it.”

I find it amazing that in Australia, which has long been fascinated with the V8, we did not continue the development and refinement of the 5.0 EFI V8.

The fact that so many blokes – young and old, still like tinkering with their beloved Aussie V8 says a lot about us. Sure there are some nice new cars on the market, but nothing beats the sound, and feel, of the Aussie V8.

My VN SS only turns 18 this year (July), but to celebrate her ‘model release’, I’ll take her out for a little cruise and give her the nourishment she needs, a full tank of premium.

Long live the VN SS.
