Much of this sleek NASCAR design was translated into the Lumina Z34 when it hit the consumer market in late 1990. Vast improvements in aerodynamics and body design helped support confidence when the Lumina was driven to victory a majority of the Winston Cup Circuit. This mid-sized sedan was manufactured to follow in the Monte Carlo's footsteps of gaining the most NASCAR victories in history.

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 door handles are prone to breaking because of their uncommon vertical orientation, and the dashboard often peels. The engine is extremely cramped, making the vehicle rather expensive to be serviced. The doors were said to be much too heavy and large, which could cause future sagging. The Z34 was not a consistently problematic car, but it did have its faults. The Z34 production was haulted in 1994 when the Monte Carlo came back the year following. The physical characteristics include a standard spoiler, dual exhaust, factory-installed body kit, sport bucket seats and hood louvers.

The Z34 came standard with a sports tuned suspension as well as a handling package. The Z34 had a Dual Twin cam V6, which produced 210 hp (157 kW) with 215 lb In production from 1991-1994, this replaced the Monte Carlo to become the company's official car of NASCAR. The Chevrolet Lumina Z34 is the more potent sibling to the Lumina.
