Australia's Holden Commodore vs Nürburgring!

This is a Chevrolet SS - which is to say, it's a Holden Commodore VF with a bowtie on the grille, built in Adelaide, shipped to America, and now on a German plate at the Nürburgring. Under the bonnet: the 6.2-litre LS3 V8 from the last-generation Corvette, 415hp, rear-wheel drive, Magnetic Ride Control and Brembos as standard, and close to 50/50 weight distribution. It's a four-door family sedan that GM never properly advertised, sold in tiny numbers, and quietly discontinued in 2017 when Holden stopped building cars in Australia :( It is also one of the most enjoyable things I've driven on the Nordschleife this year. Tail-happy, endlessly controllable, and it sounds fantastic.
