Why did so many people like the G-Body Monte Carlos?

Simple. A 305 has to work much harder than a well built 350 to push the same amount of weight, thus resulting in higher fuel consumption.

Arrrrgh....It just happened to me again.

Pulled up with my car and an acquantaince that doesn't know my car starts checking it out. I pop the hood, we talk about what it's had done, etc. Then, another guy comes walking up and the guy I've been talking to goes "Dude, check out Mike's Monte Carlo!"




BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

funny
i do that to every guys i see in a Turbo buick. it never gets old.:biggrin:

In reply to the original question

Because they look like GN/T-Types :biggrin:

I hear you have a black Monte Carlo

Here ya go Scott.

That is gorgeous Nothing like a mint, dropped white Monte SS. There are 1 or 2 Monte's running around here that sound pretty friggin mean.

i think the 305 is pretty durable...i've pounded mine pretty hard. 190hp from a smogged 80's motor wasnt horrible. 15.9 was only two tenths behind the 85 hot air GN that got tested at 15.7, i dont really see ur point in that regard. not everything was turbo intercooled
for the 80's it wasnt a bad set up. the 3:73 made it a pretty decent street car. i mean it all depends on what perspective ur looking from. in bone stock form compared to other 80's cars in bone stock form it was what it was supposed to be, a car with better performance than the average monte carlo. i took my emission off mine and gained a half second at the track off the stock times. Bone stock i ran 15.87. without emissions i ran 15.38. performer RPM intake i ran 15.06. you also forgettin a major reason this car was made and why people bought them....NASCAR!!!!!!!!!! so get ur nose outta the air and stop acting like a porsche owner

here's my two...waiting on the GN to complete the trifecta


my 85 SS with its gay ass stripes

my freshly restored 83 hurst olds

For you Charlie............:biggrin:

I Luv em because thier G'z... Love all of the G-bodied cars... and SS montes sound sexy (the one I hear does:biggrin slap some 20's and youll be stylin... but still nothin beats the SS monte stock like a t-type.

I think the main thing is BUICK is thought of as an "old persons car"

So the CHEVY MONTE had an advantage.

THEN, the v8 rumble.

I still get people laughing at me when I say I have a v6 with a turbo (TTA or SY). Oh well , they wont know until we put down cash at the line ---

its not about traction, its about looking good in my opinon when it comes to monte carlos. On the buicks id rather go fast and handle well, but in a Super Sport its about the rims:biggrin:


The Chevys Ridin Heavy... and if its gonna be a chevy... its gotta be heavy:biggrin:



Thats my bit 'O' ghetto for the day

LOLOL charlie... D-O-D-G-E

What looks good is subjective.

newest pics of my bitch

Last I checked your red thing isn't like a Monte HaHa. Just givin a hard time.

When the MCSS came out in '83 I thought it was tha ba//z. Back then the 15 sec quarter was considered quick for a production car of the time. Remember the 5.0L mustang of the day had 175hp or so also. Then I saw Lassiter bust on that roy baddie guy with his stage one GS so I wanted one of those.

In '86, the mags out with the 13-14 sec quarters for the GN. I wanted one but a new 16-20k car wasn't in my budget. The MCSS was a 13-17k car so it was cheaper too. Buick wasn't really considered a performance car back then.
