Welcome. Gotta admit that at first the thought of silver trim on the white cars seemed kind of odd but it really does look sharp! Nice rides!

I'm pretty sure I've read that he's gotten rid of them all except this '07.

White with Silver SS? Those are pretty sharp looking.

I know they have a limiter, kicks in somewhere around there, but I'm pretty sure on a flat stretch of road I got 'er up to 118.

Ah. Sorry to read that. Having a stable full of Monte Carlos would be cool.

do you still have the 06? if not why get rid of it just to get an 07 in the same color? on the highway ive never hit 30mpg even when i had the dod on. i could have sworn that the limiter from the factory was set at 154 or somewhere in that ballpark. i dont recall what it was but ive definitely passed 123 by a good margin. by the way i also like the silver and white thats the color combo i wanted unfortunately i got stuck with this red that i despise, but its slowly growing on me.

I can't tell for sure, but is that Victory Red? If so that's probably the best color for the Monte Carlo tied with black and a few shades of blue. But I'm probably biased because I have Victory Red and I love it.

you are correct its victory red. and red is my least favorite color ever. id probably like it more if the ground effects were silver but there not and the woman is against it.

Maybe he removed the governor? Maybe the governor isn't set at exactly 113MPH? Maybe he was going down hill and bypassed the governor? Or maybe the governor on his model wasn't working?
