92Typhoon Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 The wife and I finally got to take our honeymoon last week. What did we take? The Lumina of course. Greeley to Pagosa Springs, CO = lots of mountain driving. The Lumina is great. Handles really well, even as loaded as it was . Great uphill power, great passing power, smooth ride. Of course, when it comes to going uphill, it's no Typhoon, but I was certainly impressed with the 3.4. GM actually got something right. It may have high miles, but there's not one ounce of regret for buying this car. Now I just need to get up to Trail Ridge and get some good wallpaper quality pics. Might have to get her a K&N or even go with a cone filter if it's worth it, just to give her more air at altitude, but other than that, I love the Z34.

Dirty Rockstar Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I want JUST a 3.4 in my sedan THEN I want a Z34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadz34 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 There's no lack of power man thats for sure. The 3.4 is a good motor with regular maintenence. Yeah, sure give it the odd punch here and there. It's cool to here someone using a Z34 for family trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White93z34 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 for sure, i love both my LQ1 cars. and my Z34 has been nothing shy of ultra-relyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ77 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I love my Z34 because I have never seen another at a car show, much less on the road (maybe one or 2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daggar Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Even after my weekend of hell. I still love my Z34 and I can't wait till she's 100% again! Theres more pro's then con's on a 3.4 IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Great uphill power, great passing power...but I was certainly impressed with the 3.4. Might have to get her a K&N or even go with a cone filter if it's worth it, just to give her more air at altitude, but other than that, I love the Z34. Wow, after driving my Z34 for the past 4 years, the red car almost doesn't have enough power. It is just really hesitant to rev and accelerate compared to the white car, and this altitude doesn't help. I'd definately suggest a cone filter, it makes it sound a lot cooler, and adds some power on the midrange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedz34 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I've always loved the styling of Z34's. I first feel in love with them when my uncle had a red '93. I remeber riding in it going to Pistons games. But he sold it when the rear brakes kept going every 5k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 at altitude Look we all know that altitude KILLS all cars (exempting turbo apps). That has nothing to do with these. He was just saying that a little more power would be appreciated, and me, driving the same car at the same altitude, WITH A 5-SPEED nonetheless, agreed.

EurosportZ34 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Lumina are the shiaat, plain and simple! especially the Z34, from the 3.4 DOHC to the exterior styling Chevy finally did something right with a car for once! i just can't wait till i get another DOHC...

loominaz34 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I love my Z34 because it's habit, along with all the aforementioned reasons. I've loved this car since i first laid eyes on it 13 years ago, I was four years old, couldn't see over the door sill and when my dad hit it, I totally, honestly thought it was a racecar. since that first day I've been begging him for this car and now that it's mine, It wont pass emissions And yet I still love her.
