This “private property” burnout comes to us from the YouTube channel of LMI Racing. It showcases a Holden VF Series 2 doing a long, rolling burnout. If you are not familiar with the Holden VF Series 2, that’s because you may know it as the Chevrolet SS sport sedan. The car that Americans know as the Chevy SS was built in Australia, where it was sold as the Holden Commodore with the VF Series 2 package, but when it was shipped to the US, it was rebadged as a Chevrolet.In stock form, the Holden VF Series 2 offers 408 horsepower and 420lb-ft of torque from the LS3 V8. That power is channeled to the rear wheels by an automatic transmission. This particular Commodore has been modified with 1.75" headers through high-flow cats and a 3-inch exhaust system, as well as an aftermarket cold air intake, a high performance camshaft and a 3,200rpm-stall torque convertor. All of these upgrades seem to work nicely together.When fitted with a set of Hoosier drag radial tires, this VF Series 2 ran a best quarter mile of 11.53 at 117 miles per hour. However, more importantly (in this case), all of that power makes this big sedan an awesome burnout machine.The high performance family hauler begins off in the distance around the 10-second mark and the burnout continues for around 15 seconds, with the Holden creeping towards the camera as smoke pours from the rear tires. The back end wiggles back and forth as the Commodore lays down hundreds of feet of rubber with a soundtrack which can only come from an American V8, so crank up your speakers and enjoy!Tags: burnout, Burnout Fridays, Chevy SS, commodore, Holden, ls1
