To the new Audi A4 that thought I was driving a stock Lumina today....I did not want to turn your good day into a bad one.....but you asked and you received a 60DegreeV6 Spanking......sorry.....hope tomorrow is a better day for you...
How new was it? I have a hard time buying that you whooped up on a car with a ~190 whp turbocharged awd powertrain. That is, if it was brand new. The 1.8T is a little slower than the new 2.0T, and I might be able to believe that victory.
Mid/Late 2000's. I'm averaging low 6 second 0-60's by my g-tech. I'll post a 0-60 and a 1/4 g-tec run this coming weekend. When my local dragstrip reopens after it's repaving I'll be flogging this car there on a weekend basis.
NICE! Your Lumina is pimp, that 3400 sounds fantastic. Can't wait to get my swap done!
Actually, it's missing 1/3 of it's paint and running factory steel wheels. GM's delam issue going strong here! I was on the hunt for a J body to stuff this powertrain in, but for now I may roll this thing in Maaco's direction for the embassador special and throw sone wheels when money allows.
The bad paint and steelies just further reinforces the all Lumina are slow stereotype. That makes it fun when you beat someone's ass with a slow Lumina.

Damn camera took a shit. Battery won't hold a charge. But the car ran as predicted. A string of 10.04's, a 10.14, and looking for a 9 I dumped the spare and pulled off the air box and piled in a little more timing. After two runs I got a 9.84 out of it. Not bad for a Lumina. Beat up on a black GTP and got beat by a red one with wheels. Won against an old 5.0 mustang and a 90's LT1 Camaro. I can't wait 'till Bruton gets the 1/4 mile running.
