Its a Monte Carlo. Looks a lot like my 'Lade. I'd like to know HP numbers on it...would give me an idea on what mine would run.

I don't. I thought I saw a hood bulge.... I could be wrong

20 lashes, sir, with a wet noodle. You should know better. That was indeed a Monte Carlo. It had a cowl-induction hood, but it was also pretty slow to get beat by that Escalade. That turbo kit got it a low-14 second ET with 93 MPH trap speed. It looked like the Monte was running stock 305 times.

My brother did the same thing to me at the last race we attended. He was at the end of the track video taping. When reviewing the tape there was a run with a blue MC SS. If you listen to his conversation you could tell he thought it was me until it got close. He's going to have the same problem with his car once it's done - it's a dark red metallic T-type with the W04 trim. Most MC SSs I see are maroon.

Yeah the Monte was slow. A worn out stock T-type would run quicker. Pretty quick for the 'Lade though. AWD and 5000 lbs. I bet the AWD transfer case didn't like that "burnout". You can see the Monte at the beginning when they're staging. Since I'm addicted to Led Zep too....you are forgiven.

Monte Carslow SS...
14.25 is fast but I wonder how much all those mods cost?

I watched it again I see now...

Good old Monte Super Sh!t

 

[SinisterBlack]

i was gonna say...a gn loosing to an escalade is a little farfetched...it would have to running on less than 6 cylinders or sumthing to loose....

What tree is that track using? The reation time for the Monte was either bad or he redlit.

Easy on the Monte Carlo jokes, not all of them are slow.
