Yep, its Amber Bronze Metallic. My 06 LTZ is the same color. Lots of pearl, looks fantastic in the sunlight.

i keep seeing people in this thread talking about all show n no go or the peformance is what they want etc.. etc.. etc.. NOW, dont get me wrong, MC's are beautiful cars n handle decent, i own a 2004 and love it...for a nice everyday driver, but if you want performance and power you NEED to either get a v8 RWD monte carlo or get some other RWD car to make power with cause a v6 isnt the one to do it with,believe me.

I guess thats why there are V6 montes and grand prixs consistantly running in the 12s and a turbo 3800V6 running 8s in the 1/4.

and why after a few modifications, flipping a motor mount, intake, exhaust, strut tower braces and new tires my FWD V8 monte carlo ss can take off ramps at nearly 20-30 mph more than before, do 0-60 under 6 seconds, hit 140 mph and still get 26 mpg on the highway ... talk about a cruiser/ sleeper ...

cars are what you make of them ... some people jack them up, other people turn them into modest cruising cars, while some others make their daily driver exactly what they want ... like me ...

12's are slow, and i'm not talking about people with unlimited money, i'm talking bout a car everybody could build. and not to many people could build or handle a 8 sec car.

There's a lot of internet out there with good information that you should probably read before you start calling people's cars slow, etc.

Ricer Civics can get into the 10's for very cheap... And that's an I4 (usually turbocharged) FWD car... So yeah.
