oh yeh i won the race.....but with tuning i think it could be close..

[higshemi-less]

Even if it was quicker I would still pick any of the SRT8's over them any day.... Ewwww, can someone say GTO ugly!

[Q8.]

OH YES the lumina SS is one of the uglyest cars i have ever seen in my life but they are so much fun to drive..

I think they look nice and they have a worthy motor, but they are still FWD!!!!

no man they are RWD

I have never seen these before. They are '06 models? I don't see them for sale anywhere or on Chevy's site.

The lumina looks like a rebadged GTO? And I thought they were
discontinuing the GTO? Probably for several reasons, but one being an expensive redesign of the dash for airbag revisions?

So these have the 6.0 LS2?

[Q8.]

they have been on sale here for the past 12-13 years the caprice was a replacement for the discontinued impala SS back in 1997... it came here in 1998 with the LS1 but for 2006 it has the LS2 on SS models

best part is you can get SOFTWARE to change any parameter in the PCM for cams superchargers headers anything you want.

it is sooooooo easy to mod these cars.

[Rev.Hammer]

fast? YAH!
Pretty? NAH!

[C4me]

Soooo, I take it that they build a completely different chassis for Kuwait? The only car we have even similar to that is the Impala SS with a 303 HP - FWD and they are not very fast. Probably due to the challenges of getting FWD to hook up.

[bmartin9122]

I guess these critters are no relation to the Impala SS on sale here in the States. They are FWD.

Looks like they're both rebadged Holden's from down under to me.

That Lumina is definitely the Manaro/GTO. They give the SRTs a good run, but I have yet to see one get creamed by them stock-for-stock.

[bmartin9122]

In that short sales pitch, there are 5 derivatives of the word "sport". Do you think they are trying very hard to convince the buyer?
