Not to put down the Earnhardt editions, or any of the driver editions. Since I do have one myself. But the 6th generation driver editions were mechanically the same as the "normal" Monte Carlo SS. The Earnhardt packages were cosmetic extras added to honor Dale Earnhardt.

Space already listed the extras in his post.
