It does have a Chevy badge.
That looks to be the Lumina that Holden builds for Chevrolet in the middle east.
I have to give Holden some credit after spending some time around a few GTO's.
The have some of the BEST build quality and have some really awesome cars.
Check GM.com and look at some of the cars offered overseas.
Chevrolet in Saudi Arabia and Holden in Australia for example.
Too bad we don't quite as exciting of a line up here.
Atleast for another year or two!

So ours will have similar performance, and sound kind of mushing/muffled.
It's against the law in Australia for a car to sound like that. Their exhaust noise standards on new cars is stricter than ours. The system on that car didn't roll off the Elizebeth City assembly line with the car.

I'm with Charlie & 5thgen69Camaro on this one. The last thing I'd want to hear in my home is some a**hole doing full on loud burnouts in his driveway next to my house, especially if the houses are as close together as those seem.

BTW: it isn't hard to get Chevy badges for your Holden in Australia. I even saw a GTO front end on a Commodore while I was down there.

And that wasn't the only one he did, either.
Look at the driveway BEFORE he backs up to do the burnout.
There's more patches on it.

I wonder how many he did and how p***ed his neighbors were.

As Guy said, there is a crowd out there who like to re-badge their commodore's with the bow-tie.

Besides if you still doubt my ability in picking a bogan voice, in the comments on you tube the car owner states he is from Sydney's western suburbs (Boganville )
