I want this car...
 
It's the Chevy Lumina SS. It's basically a modified Pontiac G8 that is for sale in the middle east and africa. It's got the same 6 liter LS3 with 400+ hp and is RWD. It's also sexy as hell:

it kinda looks like the g8

Flynnster 04-19-2009 08:55 AM

It is a G8. The G8 is based off that platform that has sold overseas for a long time.
It is beautiful.

Actually, the US government is backing all GM warranties, so even if they go under your warranty will still be in effect.

GOVERNMENT MOTORS DAWG

Obama's gotta keep them cadillacs alive by using our tax money to fix GM's broken shit

PistonsFan102 04-19-2009 09:55 AM

I like it. The name "Lumina" just does't fit as an accurate title for the car though.

PColav6 04-19-2009 10:17 AM

Yeah, we had a Chevy Lumina once

Thats actually a Lumina APV...the regular Lumina is a 4 door sedan.

I have always referred to the APV's as Dust Busters...

PColav6 04-19-2009 11:38 AM

I called it the armored personnel vehicle

Dave04Mustang 04-19-2009 11:41 AM

^^ my buddy drove one of those all though high school except it was the pontiac version... we called it the space shuttle

Raw power yes but I seem not to be able to drive the Z slow though.Was on a long stretch of highway yesterday and had it up to 130 :cool:

The G8's are just a girly version of the GTO. I saw a 50-year old lady driving one today and said the stupid ass, "Your husband let you drive it today?" and then she oh so politely tells me, "Actually, it's mine......" lol

Even the GXP is too quiet and held back for my personal preference.

When someone assumes that my Mustang is my boyfriend's or my dad's, they get told off. :smokin:

I had a '93 Lumina EuroSport as my last DD until the motor blew at 228,478 miles...made a great daily driver...but it tended to scare away the females though! :( The rusty deer damaged exterior didn't help I guess! LOL

EDIT: The blown out suspension made it permanently look like it was drag launching and the front end was lifting up...it was front wheel drive though...hahaha!

Your personal preference sucks then, lol. If I had to choose between a G8 or hell even a GTO if the deal was right I'd swap in my Mach in a heartbeat.
402hp atc > 305hp atc
Even though their gears are 2.92 or whatever it is, I'd still take it. Do a gear swap and be a VERY happy man.

Did I say the GTO was bad??? Fuck no I didn't. The G8 is just like the new Mustang, all the drive by wire junk takes away from the real power under the hood. I never said it was slow....I simply said it was held back.

Obviously your reading skills suck. Does that make you feel any better?

King 04-21-2009 02:56 PM

Damn...people are bitchy around here today. Take some midol dude, seriously.

08mustang_gt 04-22-2009 12:55 PM

You're the one that said my opinion sucked. Mister all fairness and equality. If you want to take Stephen's role and be the jackass of the forum than be my guest but don't think you're going to tell me that my opinion sucks and not get a response.

I have no problem with you or anyone else on here, but don't say that my opinion sucks when you're voicing your own.

King 04-22-2009 02:09 PM

Ouch. After being compared to Stephen I feel like I've earned my right to jump off a bridge. Naw, man...I meant that in a light-hearted way. Not a "you're opinion sucks, no go kill yourself" steve-o sort of way. Hence my "lol"
haha

jseven 04-22-2009 04:28 PM

Let me know so that i can buy your mach. lol

Huh? With one exception (a Chrysler,) I've never driven a drive by wire car that felt "held back." My current V8 car is DBW, and it does not feel held back at all.
