6th Gen ('00-'05): Video, took the Monte out for a couple pulls
Im sure there are some GM meets up here. Theres at least 5 of us in the PNW area. Id love to see you at a meet up or show for sure.
Greg, you truly represent the "Monte Carlo Dream". I could watch this video, as well as your other Test Run's, for hours on Repeat. You're my hero, ZIPPY! It's a dream of mine to someday eventually meet you and see (and hear) that gorgeous Monte in action! 
I still hope you will guide me in my post-High School turbo build! 
Who knows, maybe someday it will be worthy enough to travel down the 1/4 mile along-side of you!

I haven't seen that group shot with our names under until now that's pretty awesome!
Greg I have some 30mph-100mph pulls and 50mph-110mph pulls with turbo Monte on my old setup and I am just curious to compare the videos to see how much faster you are compared to my old setup to get an idea

Lol, I run anyone and anything, its all in fun. Only thing I will say is I think your under estimating turbo Monte... turbo Monte should be making near the same amount of power as Greg's Monte. Yes my signature says 384whp but that was on a very old setup and I hit the ceiling of the maf around 4000rpms and at that point was flooding in fuel.... I have 384whp listed because as of now that's all I can back up but I assure you in the spring I will be making way more HP than that. I'm estimating 550-600whp in the spring. I will be on the Dyno in the spring to know for sure what she is making and once I do that I will update my sig with the new HP numbers.

A quick story that makes me chuckle every time I think of it.... a local car club I belong to had a new member join and come to a meet. We were all bsing and turbo Monte got brought up. The new guy goes wait you own that? So I said yea and he goes "dude this spring I seen you going down the highway and I tried freight training past you and once I got right beside you I heard you get on it and next thing I know I'm not passing you anymore your pulling away and spinning tire all at the same time! I just gave up at that point I knew I didn't have a chance"
Hearing things like that from people I don't even know is plain out awesome! Lol

... If you want, I'll run you, but lets put the video camera in mine, that way you'll have some awesome winning footage, does the camera have zoom, I might need it?...
