Sorry `Zach, that's not the one This one is



powered by the same Chevrolet sourced
V8

engine found in the Coupe with an output of 1,200 HP at 6,500 rpm and 1,155 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. Because of the added weight from the removable roof, performance numbers should be a tad bit slower than the Coupe, which sprints from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds and to 200 mph in 15.9 seconds, on its way up to a top speed of 275 mph. The engine will more than likely send its power to the rear wheels via a Ricardo 6-speed gearbox and handling will be facilitated by a KW variant three-adjustable coilover suspension.

I'm sorry, but that butchered Mustang looks absolutely ridiculous. The Caddy tailfins and the front grill area look like a body kit gone horribly wrong. Like it was installed on the wrong car by mistake.

And Lambo doors. I really wish people would stop with the Lambo doors. Nobody gives a crap about Lambo doors anymore. It seems like the first two mods people do now are a cat-back exhaust, and Lambo doors. At least a cat-back exhaust gives you some performance and sound improvement. Lambo doors is an expensive mod that gets little reaction anymore. Because too many people do it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Geo<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


is our Name that Car Winner

the Monte Carlo were downsized for the 1978 model year in response to the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo and CAFE requirements. The 1978 model was 700-800 lb lighter and some 15 in shorter than the 1977 model. The 1978 model also had more interior and trunk space than the earlier 1977 model. The engine compartment was also smaller as the 350 and 400 V8s offered in previous years were dropped in favor of a standard 231 CID V6 built by Buick or an optional Chevrolet 305 CID V8. The three-speed manual transmission reappeared for the first time in several years as standard equipment on the base model with the V6 engine, and the automatic was optional. The optional V8 and all Landau models came standard with the automatic. A four-speed manual transmission with floor shifter was optional with the 305 V8, the first time a four-speed manual was offered on the Monte Carlo since 1971.

1979 Monte Carlo 267 CID V8Only minor trim changes were made to the 1979 Monte Carlo, which included a slightly redesigned grille, tail lights & front park lights. Mechanical changes included a new Chevrolet-built 200 CID V6 (the ancestor of the Vortec 4300) as the standard engine for the base Monte Carlo in 49 states while the Buick 231 CID V6 remained standard on base models in California and all Landau models. A new 125 hp (93 kW) 267 CID V8 became optional and the 140 hp (104 kW) 305 CID V8 continued as an option but was joined by a 160 235 lb·ft (319 N·m) hp version with a four-barrel carburetor. The same transmissions were carried over from 1978, including a standard three-speed manual and optional four-speed manual, or an optional three-speed Turbo Hydramatic automatic. This would be the last year that Chevrolet would offer manual transmissions on the Monte Carlo due to extremely low buyer interest.

(The pic I posted had some custom work done), & there was little change between the 78 & 79 Monte

I had one of these back in the 70s as a weekend warrior. Pulled down mid 12s all day long.

Year? Make? Model?
No cheating using a search engine.
