FWD haters.

Me too! My 1974 Monte is RWD, of course.
Psh, peppier than my 1974 Monte. Only 145 HP. 350 V8 with a Rochester 2-bbl.
My mom's 2003 Monte SS/HS has the 3.8 of course. I would love to race it on the 1/4 mile

Honestly, RWD cars are much better for modding for power...I believe most any car person would agree with me on that...FWD is a lot less mod friendly, easier to break front end parts, especially the transmission...But if it's done correctly it is nice to put a shock on the rwd guys face when you keep up with or pass one that is mildly fast...
I love my monte and am happy I modded it...if it came rwd with the ls2 like my gto, I don't think woulda purchased the gto....I will never give up my monte, but I don;t think i would ever buy another fwd car ever again, especially not one to mod.
I have a fwd and a rwd car and if GM would ever build a decently fast awd car I would be all over that...I drove my brothers g35x and the ability to hit the gas/grip and go is absolutely amazing...yes the drive train is heavy but I'd still take one...
As for rwd in the bad weather, I drive the gto no problem...people just need to be responsible and drive slowly and not try to race or burnout/drift in bad weather...
I don't mind people knocking FWD so much as I hate when people say my Monte isn't a real monte cause it's fwd...I guess it's a similar argument but I do see it as a different argument all together.

I highly doubt that. we have 8 second quarter mile cars out here that are street cars, daily driven.

I told ya'll I sold my 01 SS. The deal fell through so I get to keep her. Not a prob. I took her on 2 trips averaging 30-33 mpg. No complaints. I did not like fwd at first because everything I drove was or is rwd. This a good time to have her since gas prices have gone up. The body styling has the look of Nascar which is a + . The 3.8 is a very good engine with plenty of power when needed and great gas mileage. Let the haters hate. Sticks and stones.

Lol. That's kinda what I was thinking.
There's no point in acting like any of our cars is going to have a chance against an 8 second car. What's important is that you enjoy your Monte. Who cares if it's a 14, 15, or 16 second cars. Just make it faster.
In the end RWD wins all, but you can still have fun with FWD cars and surprise a few people from time to time.
