Yeh, burnouts look and sound cool but I have respect for the HP and want to put it on the track, where it safely belongs. I have see too many close calls

I know that the overseas Luminas are not even close to our (US) Luminas...they are based on the Cadillac Catera - at least the one I'm familiar with is. Here's a picture:
The standard V6 is 215 hp and the V8 is a 325 hp LS1. This car is similar to the Holden Monaro (I think) which is what the GTO is based upon. Not sure about any other details but I'm positive it's rear wheel drive.94 Black T/A GT, Advanced Induction 355, 3200 stall, built 4L60E, Moser 9", Baer Brakes, Shooting for 11s...

Oh ok cool. That's what I thought because I remember seeing a video of a race between an 1995 LT1 Z28 and an LS1 2000 Holden Commodore / Lumina. I was confused at the time because it looked nothing like the US Lumina. But I did some research and found out about this stuff, so everything was clear when I watched the video.94 Black T/A GT, Advanced Induction 355, 3200 stall, built 4L60E, Moser 9", Baer Brakes, Shooting for 11s...

yeah surprisingly the holden commodores we have in Australia are much better than the lumina's chevy produces even though they use the same ls1 engine. Best car so far IMO is the holden (HSV)GTS coupe which is just so damn sexy or the holden monaro GTO which comes factory with 292kw and 510nm of torque. Its known as the next pontiac gto in the U.S. .

I can tell ya exactly what burnouts cost....100 bucks and a court date. I burned out so rarely with my 80 because I love the thing...its never seen a hard turn or a donut or anything abrubt but one day it was nice and i hadnt driven in a while and i just stepped on it. That was a crazy peel....the cop thought so too....only ticket ive ever gotten.

I was out in the middle of Death Valley one time and it was so hot I had to roll the windows up (no AC). The car was running just fine despite the heat. Anyway, I decided to go through the gears a little bit. I do a nice smokey launch and by the time I am ready to slam it into 3rd I look over and hell if there isn't a cop parked under a tree. He just motions me over and then gives me a lecture. I tell him I am just out looking for a cactus for my yard, and he sees that I have a shovel in the back and decides to let me go after lecturing me some more. I didn't see another car for 1/2 hour. Everytime I get a ticket, it's a strange situation like that - only that was the only free pass I ever got
