Here is a thinker.
okay, lets just say (god forbid) that monte carlos never existed. What would you be driving right now? Why? Keep in mind its not about your "dream car" its what (within reason) you would probably be driving instead of the monte that never existed, be it a daily driver or your track car.

When I bought my Monte Carlo there were two other cars that I almost went with instead, but the Monte had the lowest miles, and seemed to be in the best condition.
The other contenders were a 2003 Mustang, V6. It was dark blue, real pretty looking for a Mustang, but 78,000 miles and $10,000.
The other was a 1999 Camaro Z28, bronze, (sorta an ugly color, fast though) with 80,000 miles. The only thing that kept me from buying the Camaro was that when I looked into the carfax report I found it had been near totaled back in 2001 and rebuilt, and the bank wouldn't give me a loan based on that.
So if it weren't for the Monte I'd either be driving a 1999 Camaro Z28, or a 2003 Mustang SVT. Not ashamed to admit those, both good cars, but I still love my Monte.
