Origin of the Z34

In 1989 Chevrolet replaced the popular Celebrity and Monte Carlo with the Lumina, a front-wheel drive car using the GM-10 or W-Body platform. 

The Chevrolet Lumina Z34 is one fast car, With alot of attitude.

This mid-sized sedan was manufactured in Canada to follow in the Monte Carlo's footsteps of gaining the most NASCAR victories in history. Vast improvements in aerodynamics and body design helped support confidence when the Lumina was driven to victory a majority of the Winston Cup Circuit.

Much of this sleek NASCAR design was translated into the Lumina Z34 when it hit the consumer market in late 1990. The Z34 put aggressive styling, a tame lion's exhaust snarl, and precisely tuned handling powered by the first American made dual overhead cam V-6 in the hands of consumers. While this car has the power and agility to match a Ford Mustang, it still seats five comfortably and has enough trunk space for a day of shopping.

Everyone I knew back in the day wanted one.

But back in those days $16,000 was alot of money for vehicle, No matter how hot it was.

Overall, the Z34's upgrades in the body, interior, engine, and other areas add a performance punch to the standard Lumina.
