It's great to see people from all over the world on this site, sharing a common interest. I like the lumina for its low profileness. You know that LS1 can be modded to hell and back. Imagine pulling up next to one in a C5 vette and having your ass handed to you by this thing. It's great. Would be a great grocery getter.

I agree. The sleeper quality of this car is to be admired. Who care's if it's a Chevy? And since it's quite a nice car, I'm sure he's not going to hang onto it forever. Probably move up to a MB E55 AMG or a Renntech S600 TT baby!

Ya I was thinking it looked like a Cadillac Catera

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

Not true. The Catera is based on the Opel Omega not Vectra. Vectra is basis for the 93 and 95. It's also the current malibu.

Commodore... are all based on the Opel Omega chassis.

I was thinking the same thing it looks just like a Catera as well.
