cool cool... would look better on a older monte carlo :D like a model 1969 :P
Im mostly a fan of the Chevelle SS

Yes indeed :) i was always a car guy and loved the 1968 to 1970 muscle cars :)

would have been nice to have that baby here... there a nice Drag race here around Quebec city :D

*smiles* it would have. This is one quick car when he installs the drag slicks.

uhm... how much liters does this car needs per 100 kilometers? XP

alot. XP

well, power comes from gas, too? ^^

lol

gah big block I am so sorry for your wallet. x.x Who says gay guys dun know nothing bout cars. X3

lol* im Bi actually. But i been a car guy for years, and with alot of mechanical knowledge of cars and tuning.

Holy shit!

it certainly is when you plant your foot to the floor. XP

Haha, I bet. Awesome

well duh. lolerz

8-71 or 10-71?

8

Big cry baby

yes it whines when the revs get up. XP

I know the feeling

This car is brutal scary, he just has the street tires on it at the moment, and the back end breaks loose like mad at any speed. :P

4 years ago I sold my 525RWHP 93 Mustang Notchback... I don't wanna know what that thing feels like. >_<

He also owns a 2004 Z06 vette, several bikes, a 4x4, and a 1961 Coronet.

What an asshole! Jealousy is a bitch

lol* i know :P

Out of curiosity, is that 1180 before nitrous or on the bottle? Curious, despite it being one hell of a sexy engine ^_^

that with nitrous and race gas on the dyno. Sexy it is, and it sounds intoxicating when blipping the throttle at a set of lights. Scared the shit out of some people today walking by :P

Nice :) One day I wouldn't mind having a go at building that heavy of an engine, much as I love my 4A-GE's, nothing beats a large block chevy or ford...

its even more fun when these motors are swapped into smaller lighter cars like 280Zs, RX-7s, etc. its common to see LS1's in those cars and others these days. ( even BMW 3 series lately.

*murrs* that is one awesome car! I have always wanted a Monte Carlo SS....they were the last GM production car with a full frame..

indeed. :) this car has alot of chasis mods aswell, traction & torque bars, full roll cage, a fuel cell and the nitrous bottle in the trunk, two batteries, etc.

didnt they make roadmasters and caprice untill '96? Monte's were unibody by then :(

Awesome car. Do you have any numbers from the 1/4 mile track with it?

he hasnt raced it himself, but was told form the guy he bought it off its a 10 second car on slicks & full boost.

Funny I never knew you were a gear head. I figured that 1100hp beast would drop into that catagory with the right driver. I myself have actually spent a considerable time on a NHRA track in Ennis Texas racing cars that I owned. I even won a bracket race one night. Awesome fun. We will have to share some car stories in between fursuit stories at the next con.

i was always a gearhead :P I used to professionaly race snowmobiles in hillclimbs and snocross, and Motocross. ( retired from that ll after the crash in a hillclimb event where i shattered my elbow)

true, there have been Big Blocks with twin turbos squeezing over 2000 hp & over 1700 lbs torque, while still keeping everything beneath the hood. ( there are a fiew on Youtube that i know of.

one thing is.... : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nug5FZgxuk

Basically... a dragster engine in a Monte Carlo.

basically yes. :p The whole car shakes when idling. tapping the trottle makes windows in houses rattle XP

Awesome! When I was younger my Dad would always put on the drag races shown on TV.

And, I can remember seeing Hydroplanes being raced on Lake Tahoe; Some bad spills put an end to that.

Now I go to air races when I have the cash and the time.

Oh I love the feeling of acceleration!

This car provides lots of that ! :P

"I feel the need. The need... for SPEED!"

Okay.. a hooky Tom Cruise reference, but it fits.

Those Monte Carlo years are the best.

indeed, these are my faves aswell. ( though the original 350 SB was long swapped out for this 502 crate motor :P

I want it! I have a few vehicles and the smallest engine is a V6 but 3 of the 4 have 350 small blocks...i need to get a big block in the vette

*smiles* the Rat motor ( Big block) has a ton of potential for extreme output .

mhm i know the rats. i wanted to just do at 383stroker but its hard to not want my 454

What is the gas mileage on such a car (MPG or KPL?). He may have one hell of a ride but it sounds expensive to maintain all those vehicles, plus fuel. Judging by your responses to other people's comments he must be a wealthy individual. In ten years..he may not be, judging by all the expenses. :P

As I was mentioning to someone else (and you may disagree) a car is just a means to get you to and from places. Nothing more. You start to get in trouble when you think of it as something else.

He has lots of cash. :P this car isnt easy on gas by no means, but again it isnt driven every day. :P

Well I guess it's good for him since he has the money but for us (the rabble) we have to settle for just ONE car. I'll take my Toyota Prius, thank you very much. :P

the Prius will certainly get much better fuel mileage !

My fuel bill is around $40-44 a month in the summer and it was $20-25 in the winter. :P

I had one just like that back in NAM! =p

lol*

The monte carlo is a cool car!

indeed. :) i always loved the style on these years for that model. Reminded me of the Grand National.

Tell him i will roshambo him for it but i go first

*LOL* :P

then it is my turn to go first

Wow, suddenly my supercharger feels reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaal tiny :P

:P this is a typical Weiand 8-71 Roots type blower.

I've got a roots - but you can shut my hood without things popping through :P

When I first saw this, I thought, 'damn.. going to have problems getting the hood down over it'!

I had driven a rental two door '05 Monte Carlo. Not a bad car, just not my kind of thing to drive though. A friend who helped me drive up to AC that year from Atlanta was bragging about how he got it up to speed, only I was passed out the whole time. Oy..

As for driving that thing you got there around town, As someone once said about driving a hummer when they first came out: 'you wouldn't want to be picking your nose while driving one, everyone's going to be looking at you with that attention 'getter'. :P

*lol* true. :P i was to busy getting adrenalin rushes holding on the shifter & wheel and tromping the throttle. XP

That..is hawt...I had a monte like that.....well stock

I miss my old V8 muscle cars...mustangs,camaros,chevelles,they were all so much fun....maybe again one day

I always like d them, but this particuar MC is just to much to be driven sensibily. :P

With the big block the dual carbs and the blower yes,it is too much....especially since you can get the same amount of power out of fuel injection,turbo and a dependable more economical small block like an LS1 these days.
Old big block beasts and roots style huge blowers are fun,but ya they definitely aren't practical in any way.

Guys are doing daily driven newer cars tho nearing the same HP levels and they are pretty streetable,reliable and practical because computers allow you to take a car and turn the power up or down pretty easily.

well,more so than this anyway,lol

I got sucked into fuel injection,turbo and tuners from muscle cars because you get the same power and more than twice the economy.....and since I try to be more practical in my old age....it just makes more sence now.

I still want a pinto with a radically blown stroked big block tho ^_^

Very true for most street applications, LS1 or LS2s with mods are awsome. Though setups like this car has is still the basis for anything above prostock or those who wants to push well beyond 1500 bhp up to the unreal Top Fuel setups that are exceding 8000 hp these day s. :P

aye,I don't need all that.......even when i used to go to the events with the rails,funny cars and Top fuels I always gravitated more to the street cars because I was a street racer.
They are pretty to look at,but expensive trailer queens as far as i was concerned.

I could build a herd of street machines for the cost of one of those top fuel cars......and actually drive them ^_^

You and I need to hang out more often - I build stuff like that!

(I won't mention my recent VW build which resulted in a burned piston, however... 47 out of 49 is still a good record!)

Very cool, by the way. You don't see many Montes out there with some serious work done to them. I helped the owner of Performance Chevrolet install and fine-tune a ZZ383 crate (500-ish hp) in his '86 Monte... but I've seen a grand total of three with a big huffer poking through the hood (not counting the race-only cars)!

*smiles* if you lived closer ! :)

DAM

Thats what i said when i first took it out for a drive and tapped on the throttle :P

umm murrrrrr.......... id give ya some road head in it :P hehe

*loL* if you were here, next weekend we take this car ( and his Z06) to St. Thomas Dragway to run the 1/4 a fiew runs

dude i want a ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*smiles* if you were here :)

i'd like see how it would do agianst my 06 cbr 600rr

Interesting.. :) i know this car is a 10 second runner in the quarter, and hes doing some more work to it and trying to push for the 9s.

dang...nice!!!i have a guy thats trying to sell me a high 10 sec low 11 sec mustang...it has a built 351 windsor with a 100 shot of nos

my need for speed says not fun that I wasn't close enough to enjoy ! :)

*lol* :P

So, is it fast?

Yes, I'm kidding.

How does something like that pass inspection, anyway? I thought that a car of that year needed to have emission controls.

its fast...very fast :) There is a special classification and procedures for custom built cars like this here in this province.

Cool! Now I'm wondering if we have something similar to that where I live. Can you imagine that kind of engine in a Saturn SL?

Yeah, me neither.

he shoulda gone twin turbo's, gets more power

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOwKpWnyLPM

fucking sick

it is, its probally the only car i drove that was sort of intimidating. nerve-recking and a handfull to drive, sort of a wiplash-inducer if not prepaired for the torque is has when launched. ( it has all the drag car stuff like full cage, fuel cell where the back seat used to be, ladder bar, chute, 5-point regulation harness, pop off steering wheel, nitrous, and very, very LOUD. :P

Hey, i might get to work on time with that!

*waggwagg* Nice! So did you end up buying it? That thing is a freeking monster, I'd love to hear what it sounds like! Any youtube vids? *hugs*

I know it's an old pic but man, an 80's Monte SS in black....sooooo sexy =P I can see they got the mirror design from my vette, if you still have it we should show off ours cars

It's the perfect bowtie for me. XD JKJK. It must be expensive to keep gas in the tank. My little 15 gal fuel tank in my camaro only takes 25-26 bucks to fill and last all week with the V6 under the hood.

This has only a 10 gallon fuel cell where the backseat used to be. :P its not for long distance drives *lol
