And what percentage of SS monte carlos get exterior mods that aren't basic bolt ons? Also I don't know about you guys but I am more than friendly to any other g body owners I run into. I don't put my car on a pedestal, in fact I've considered selling it because I have no time for it anymore. I guess it's just typical chevy guy vs everyone else BS.
.
Just like folks who think its BOP vs everyone else frustration, which I notice alot. I understand being a BOP fan can get frustrating, seeing alot of Chevy motors swapped into BOP's (being serious here). I got into a car that just happens to be a Chevrolet, doesn't mean I think Chevy is the end all be all. Montes come in many different colors and many aren't stock colors anymore
. Glad to hear you are friendly, most GN owners I've met in person are but there have been quite a few who are somewhat stuck up.
One word, brother. Jealiousy.
And
thats why there's the misconception comes from of GN owners who are stuck up. I can assure you that most Monte owners, are not jealous. If I wanted a TR I would of gotten one, same with many others...I someday would like one along with a few other cars when room allows. Some of us do own them by choice
.
Well those are just comments of fustration.
The SS Monte was engineered to have the ENTIRE powerplant/drivetrain swapped for increased performance.I mean come on, what serious car has a smogged 305 and a 7.5 rear?
So the car can't be serious if its been modified? Cars are only as fast or cool as they are when stock? A bone stock GN isn't really that fast by today's standards either. I guess that takes out ALOT of cars that are pretty fast. Doesn't matter how the car starts....you can make anything fast, and g-bodies are relatively easy/cheap to do. You can only make things look so good though
. And I'm aware thats purely opinion on what looks good. I think all 2 door g-bodies look good to some extent.
I'm actually pleasantly surprised at the reaction to the idea of this swap on the board. I'm glad the 4th gen Monte community seems pretty open to new ideas, engine swaps of various flavors, styles, etc. You see several Montes at a car show and they rarely will be the same or close. I personally think the Aero glass fits a Regal/GN body well with the sharper lines than a MCSS. I say go for it, I'm not a NASCAR/Aero fan neccessarily but if done right would respect it for being different.
I've seen at least 5 86 Aerocoupes down here. Every one of them trashed out.
Sure they aren't 87's? No 86's that I've seen up here, since they were only sold in the southeast not many have gotten up here it seems. But theres a registry at montecarloss.com and only a couple on there are in rough shape, I'd say most are kept as the owners generally know how rare they are.
