Upgraded from the Yukon to a car...

[OHSIXX]

That is a sweet score...I bet people move out of your way or hit the brakes when you go by.....I bet it is fun to drive-as long as there is no snow lol

I don't know what that means. LOL They're 18x8

Lol everytime I see a car with steel rims like that I think there hub caps fell off and
A. They don't care enough to put caps back on
B. To poor to buy new hub caps.

I know that's not the case with you but that's what I think of when I see steel wheels.

It's a 2011 Caprice Police PPV 9C3 Detective. Only 9k on the clock. RWD with 4 wheel independent suspension. I bought it from the original (private) owner. It was never put into service. Normal interior free of holes.

It's the Australian encore of the Pontiac G8, but longer. I drive the car with the seat all the way back for my 6'2" frame and can sit behind with about 3" of knee room left over. The Chevy SS is basically the same car but the SS has a 6.2L engine and different styling. This one is a sleeper with it's plain looks, but hauls ass and handles more like a Camaro.

As far as the rims... A lot of people like it but I've got some Camaro wheels to put on it this summer to look less "cop".

Sorry for going on, but he asked and I'm proud of the score.

Them Camaro rims will looks sweet!!

I'll post a pick when I get them installed.

That's why it's been in the garage for the last 2 days and the Yukon is back in service!

I thought it was some econo car but now impressed

That is a heck of a sleeper! Must be a blast to drive.

Small word, Dave!!

They're GREAT cars. Ours is a 12. It is a retired service vehicle, so it does have some holes to fill. I've capped them with antennas, replacing the cheap plastic plugs they silicones in the holes. The light bar hole will get a GPS antenna.

These things just fly, in spite of the tall rear gear. I'm planning a full exhaust swap, and maybe a cam change, but first need to get the 2/3drop for her Tahoe.

I thought about lowering the Yukon a few times but the $$ to do so didn't make sense. I kept coming to the conclusion that if I wanted something that handled like a sporty car I should start with a sporty car. Hence the Caprice.

I see now you're also on newcaprice.com. I lurked there for a bit when I was searching and now quite yakky, trying to get things done. My Yukon stays in service until the weather gets better, but I'll also be putting on the solo axle back on Tuesday and plan to send the radio and bcm in to whites the end of next week.

We can talk more on the caprice site concerning our PPVs.

I think it's going to get me in trouble.

You'd be surprised how well the Tahoe PPV handles, in spite of it's girth and road-hugging weight. The CFO wants it lowered some more, so a 2/3 drop is in the plans. I keep perusing forums for someone getting rid of the parts, and have a few, but not the important bits.

The parts are assembled for the Caprice suspension, I just have to get time to do it.
