RE: 400 HP
I was just doing some research on this car, and i found one picture of a lumina ss that looks like a gto but with chevrolet badging. It was a black car, so no it wasnt the same photo the OP had used. This could be something that maybe like the gto. Since it was derived from the monaro form australia. Who knows. Not enough enough to post other wise. What country are you guys from? I see the front tag is way different than tags here in the states.

Hey yeah that's a GTO with Chevy badging allright. ..same dash, instrumentation profile, interior setup. Didn't know there was such a thing. If they used the Lumina name that's pretty lame. That name hasless sport history than a Cavalier which has about zero.

He's in Dubai. It's on his license plate
. The Lumina SS has been on sale there for years. If you want to get close to 400 RWHP N/A you'll need a good set of heads and cams. I hear that blow-by racing sells a good setup. Then you'll need a laundry list of bolt-ons, and someone in your area to dyno tune them.

RE: 400 HP
Hate to say the lumina will smoke u only because it has a corvette engine. I would bet him on which vehical does not fall apart in the next 24months mustang will take it. Chevy quality has gone down the toilet. I tthink the new vettes are ugly as hell.;goes fast but it falls apart. I rather have the quality thankyou Ill stick with a mustang.

Man it is a bummer that we have to drop 5k + on a blower and all that must go with it (suspension, tires, etc.) to keep up with a GTO bc Ford only gives us 300hp (270 something at the wheels) stock. That really pisses me off bc us guys that can't afford a blower and can only do bolt ons will only get to 350hp ..... maybe.When the new Challenger and Camaro come out with 400hp + stock we are going to get smoked off the road. Ford better upgradeand come up with an engine that isgoing to compete with these twoother cars in the nexttwo years or I will just have to blow my load on a blower, damn!

RE: 400 HP
Never saw one of those. Definatly the same car as a GTO though. Those ls2's are strong, he will take you easy but that car is also 10k more then a stang. Tell him to make it monitarly even and let you put that extra 10k into mods, that and that car has a 6.0 vs a 4.6.
