I know I am going against what everybody is saying here but............I wouldn't replace the radiator just yet. I have a steady slow leak in mine and have had the leak for over 2-years with no plans to replace the radiator anytime soon. In fact, I just had a flush and fill done to it. I put...

DO NOT got to AAMCO. I'm not happy with the latest rebuild I had done with them. Besides the $2k it ended up costing me, it isn't running 100% after only 40,000 miles on the rebuild. Of course their original estimate was $1,400. They won't fix the current problem either. Obviously make...

gus - what kind of plugs/wires are you using? My fastest time in my 1993 with just cat-back exhaust is 14.3 @ 97 MPH. That was with copper plugs, cobra plug wires, new fuel filter, and a K&N panel filter. .......In other words, you might break 14 with an exhaust?! Ken

That sounds like a fantastic deal! I'm jealous! Let me know 2nd if you don't get it!! What kind of times is your car running now? Ken

Ah, the logic of the General (GM that is). Completely ignore Micro Economics......increase supply, who cares about demand. Some of those Monte's will sit on the lot for over a year (especially the non-supercharged ones with NASCAR stickers on them..........well, maybe not in the south ;-))...

Am I missing something, why can't you just cut your hood (like you said above), like Dennis did? http://mark8.org/96_Supercharged_Mark_VIII_engine_Dennis_Reinhart.jpg Ken

I guess some people like the 'all-show no-go' look.........like putting dual exhaust, a cowl hood, and big rims on a V6 Mustang, yeh, I get it? ;-) {just kidding} Hey Sandy, do you think the 14 different models of the Monte will help GM sell anymore of them........I doubt it.

Now that is really too bad :( Not sure the point of getting dress-up/go-fast parts without opting for the supercharger? Sandy - Everytime I think I know something about cars (like the Monte SS's 'optional' blower), you put me in my place. :( Is that car then the Monte SSS? ;-) Ken

He should check out the Grand Prix GTP sites. If he has the 'new' Monte SS, that car has the same supercharged V6 as the GTP. A supercharger pulley will be the best bang for your buck mod on that car by far. Do note, a pulley change will void the warranty. (unless he changes it back before...

..........don't forget those fake convertible roofs with sun-roofs!!! ;-)

If that is supposed to be a Vinyl top, which is horrid to begin with, and not a fake convertible top, why in the world would they put convertible boot cover snaps on this? Ken

This one looks to have a full VINYL top, WITH convertible boot snaps?!?!?!?! I guess this is one way to solve the bubbling rear window molding. ;-) http://www.holmanauctions.com/CHARLIE/302pomp/15.JPG http://www.holmanauctions.com/CHARLIE/302pomp/16.JPG...

RE: Feb Car Club Tommy - Here is my fastest run to date....... 60' - 2.217 330 - 6.168 1/8 - 9.345 MPH - 77.59 1000 - 12.052 1/4 - 14.317 MPH - 97.46 So, 77mph through the 1/8th and 97mph through the 1/4.

RE: Feb Car Club Wow, that is really surprising that you're not running faster 1/8 times with the gears? Unfortunately or furtunately, depending on how you look at it, the 2-tracks by me are 1/4-mile all the time........at least I think they are. One of the reasons I like the 1/4 is I have...

Very nice Dennis!! When I first read that the 4-door, automatic Accord would lay out a stock Marauder I almost cried.........what a sad day. Luckily my own car can still beat even a 6-speed Honda Accord coupe. The day a stock accord is faster than my car, is the same day I get mods to catch...
