    My first car was an 88’ Monte Carlo SS. I thought I was such a badass with my 180 horsepower. 🤣 But I gotta say that sofa seat in the back was where most of the good memories happened.

    I have had four Monte Carlos in my life... a 1984 (my parents bought brand new when I was in Kindergarten and I ended up driving throughout high school... it is still sitting at my parents' place awaiting restoration), a 2003, a 1983 (I had this at the same time as the 03, but sold to pay for an engagement ring), and later a 2007 SS. The LS4 and FWD created a lot of torque steer, and the main weakness in these are the transmissions... they weren't all that good in the 00-07 regular Montes, and it is pretty much the same transmission with a lot more power added in the 06-07 SS. I would love for Chevy to come out with a RWD, V8 coupe that is comfortable and badge it the Monte Carlo, but I don't see that happening.

The Monte carlo weighs 3400lb, and if you know what your doing you can pull between 260 to 280 hp from the 12a without forced induction, that's over double from factory N/A, no true car enthusiast can deny the racing credentials, sure on the oval or the strip american cars could hold a candle but it would a different story on every other form of racing and a properly prepared RX3, it was pretty much homogulated to compete against the Hokusuka Skyline, built to race while offering road cars not the other way around.
