  1. Time for more useless trivia - the reason the original SS Commodore was built was because back in 1981 (I think), Peter Brock built a road car named the Peter Brock (HDT) Special, with some goodies he wanted homologated for racing , but he based it off the VC SL/E which was the top end Commodore of the day. He built the required 500 units for homologation, but then the governing body decided that they would start weighing the cars and also enforcing a rule that if they were fitted with a stereo system, air conditioning, etc, they had to be fitted to the race car as well. So the Brock Special became a very heavy race car. Back to the drawing board, Brock then decided to build a very basic car with all the goodies he wanted, to get around the weight restriction. The first SS Commodore was the VH, in 1992. The VK Group A SS was the first car to receive the de-stroked 304 engine (Earlier VK's still used the old 308)
