I just wanted to share these photos of a 2002 Chevy Lumina SS Commodre that my friend imported from the Middle East
Its got a 3RD Generation V-8 Engine 5.7L that delivers about 325HP, and my budy has the after market upgrade (550 HP).
And its a rear wheel drive
If you have any question, please save them untill you see 10 posted pic's

And finally 10
This is what we call 2004 GTO, which will only be available with 2D (Coupe)
Now, you can ask any question.
I have the same vehicle and wanted to import it, but was told that my engine will be cut to reduce HP, and i refused.
And my budy only got it through because he is a diplomat
Mine is Metalic Gold or what we call (Burned Orange)

 

No thoughts , no questions???
wasn't expecting that

 

No disrespect intended, but that may be the ugliest vechicle I have ever seen. And to make things worse it is a Chevy.

Also, you know this is an Acura forum, right?

Still, interesting to see though. Thanks.

 

Looks like a Holden Commodore from Oz. Holden is a GM subsidiary.

 

what's the mileage ?

I guess over there gas should be cheap...

 

Ya, Hate to say it, but thats a UGLY CAR!

Reminds me of a Corolla. Would be Definitely surprise to sit next to it and challenge it thinking its slow and it whoops u lol

Does it have Hids, or any features?

Sorry Qatar

 

Qatar, how about another picture of your A-Spec?

I'm amazed that the General doesn't sell that car here, it would sell well among the dedicated Chevy-heads.

 

Qatar - Any way to get a pic of the 5.7L sitting under the hood?

 

Where is the dual exhaust? Where are the giant calipers?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Reminds me of a souped up Prizm or even a more round Cavalier. Not for me even with the 5.7.

 

Its a Holden (from GM, Australia), which is being imported to this country as the Pontiac GTO.

 

are those body panels plastic?...i ehard one of the reasons the gto took so long to make it to america cause the plastic they used for the body panels cant handle cold well...sicne there isnt much of thta in australia....where did he move too?

 

The GTO is based on the Holden Monaro, which is the two-door version of the Commodore.

 

I thought that the car was pretty ugly when i saw it for the first time, and it didn't appeal to me at all, but after owning one, the story line changed.
This car is amazingly fast (Stock) and after modification, let anybody try to overtake (all they can do is try), the Lumina SS is one of the most popular sport sedans in the Middle East in adition to Chevy Caprice SS, which has more HP and a bigger engine.
I can take more pic's once i see my budy
And he moved to Virginia

 

Another picture for a Lumina SS cruiser

 

And 2001 Chevy Caprice

 

I'm sorry guys, i know that its a TL furom, but there was a thread about the GTO, so i thought of sharing this with you all

 

Two words........................















POO-POO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I keep hearing about these cars and people post pictures, is it too much to ask for a pic of the engine?

Jus wonderin...

 

Thanks QATAR, for the pics.Its a change to see something completely different once in a while here. BTW, whats that kit that can bring it to over 500HP?

 

Is this not the car the Caddillac Catera was based on? They look nearly identical in proportion and general shape.

Shrrrtee

 

jwaters943,
Caddillac Catera is based on Opel Vectra, not Chevy.
Danno, i don't really know, and actually, i didn't care a lot to what they did, as much as i cared about how many extra ponny's i got.
But I believe that the modification was to the engine its self.
We have people that build engines, and i don't know if you would believe this or not, but a budy of mine had a Nissan (Arawi) and its a pickup truck and it had a 4 speed manual gear, and my budy took the whole thing out and put a 5 speed manual gear in his yard, and thats not something common where i come from, because all things are done in professional garages

 

The milage is 21000 KM

 

the coupe looks waaaaay better IMO. i would like to try and get a GTO but i think i'll wait for quad exhaust on The Judge in the upcoming year

 

Qatar, the Caddy Catera, Commodore, and your Lumina are all based on GM's Opel Vectra platform. The Catera just never got the power it deserved until they renamed it CTS and gave us the CTS-V with the Corvette's 405hp V*.

 

McLean? and does the license plate begin FT?

 

If you mean the plate number, no
its starts with DK

 

Here are the links to my Lumina's if you want to look. And no the body is not plastic, it is metal!

This is my 2000 Lumina SS (325hp/350ft#s)

This is my 03 Lumina SS (324hp/341ft#s-Cat. converters)

Even though I like these cars I am very eager to get backtot he states and get a TL!

 

oh, i was thinking it would be Qatar. Greece then?
