Monte goes down
Was at wawa tonight and this kid pulls in in his monte carlo tappin the gas as hes comin around the corner to make it seem all fast. Ive seen him before, its a monte with a 350 all stock with skinny drag tires up front and cragers with big fat bfg radial t/a on the back and some monsterously gay big cowl hood. So i pull out and he pulls out right behind me. I take off and he does too we go to i turn then we both hit it and he stays behind me for about a second then i pull away from him, we did this like 3 times. I was surprised how slow it was, i was sure he would have been able to keep up with me but i guess not. This isnt really a kill its just me discussin all show and no go monte carlos.
theyre big cars, no matter what year your talking about

15s stock? 180hp 4000lb boat with MAYBE 160rwhp?
they're lucky to see 17's
i owned one and they could NEVER see 15's with the 305
i like montes though because u can fit big engines and build them up pretty cheap
ive seen an LS7 in 1 running low 11's all motor

ours is rated at 200 flywheel and it feels decently strong... fresh rebuild tho.
id love to have one of the first gen monte's, they are sweet looking cars. me and my dad almost bought a custom made 1971 monte carlo ss 454 4 speed convertible for $9000 but we couldnt get the money together

You may get the old ones but watch out for the new ones. i've smoked more than a few of the 99-04 body style gt's. the new 5.3 v8 is no joke

i'm not a big fan of the FWD either, but the car still goes. and people do a double take when they see me doing a FWD burnout. But on the plus side the new monte carlo's and impala's are moving to GM's zeta platform and should be coming with RWD in either 08 or 09.
