Ls7 Monte

[framos242]

I like the ls7 but the rest is just an eye sore.

im not going to lie I had thoughts of putting a nasty little ls motor in a gxp just for a daily driver back in the day, but phatride talked me out of it and the blocks are different so you cant just drop in a cool motor you have to stick with the 5.3 or have one custom machined like that dude

 

[RICH17]

Fuck that noise. DO NOT WANT

 

[Wolfman]

Line locks on the rear brakes for doing burnouts? One of his selling points is an aftermarket parking brake. Lol

God I forgot how ugly that thing is. I didn't notice the smorgasbord of emblems. Monte Carlo SS V Kompressor

Pretty sure I saw a GM High Tech performance Facebook post teasing a feature on this car.

 

[slowchevy]

I would swing if it wasn't so riced out.

what the actual fuck. As any sort of performance vehicle, that car is useless. Drop a stock LS7 in it for the "cool" factor and make it not look like shit.

Id drive a stock one before this ugly clapped out ricer.

From what I've heard, the trans was built by cartuning.

The joke on our local forum, is that this guy grew up in a trailer park, and then won the lottery.

Holy fuck. Tough crowd.

I would rock the fuck out of this thing for the sheer fact it's probably a roll racing monster..from 120

Stuff an LS7 into a FWD shitbox and keep it FWD. What a waste of money and an LS7.

I absolutely loved this style of Monte's but the FWD completely killed it.

What a fucking idiot.

 

[framos242]

So did it kill the Z06 they mentioned??

 

[Mook]

Holy fuck. Tough crowd.

I would rock the fuck out of this thing for the sheer fact it's probably a roll racing monster..from 120

You would drive this? I AM SHOCKED. SHOCKED

 

[slowchevy]

Would smoke poopra

At what? rolling 2000ft burnouts?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Bursting into flames from the transmission shattering and sending ATF through the engine bay.

One could only hope.

 

[Spivitz]

First time I saw this thing, wish I never had.

It's a shame it looks so awful. Tons of engineering and custom work into that car. The engine is a billet block based only loosely on the LS7, transmission has custom hard parts and the front suspension was modified to fit wider stock tires on stock wheels. Tons of potential. Doesn't look like the owner is interested in racing. Guess it put down 700-800 FWHP.

 

[Euro]

I was just going to ask how much it put down. Not bad.


Just noticed those hood vents at the top are 94-96 GTP vents

 

[Yaj Yak]

Just so much fucking money. Jeeeeze

i understand and appreciate unique as much as the next guy... but fuck. that works to an extent.

Here's a longer thread on it

7th Generation: SSV Sam's Monte recent mods PIC's - Monte Carlo Forum - Monte Carlo Enthusiast Forums


Edit::which doesn't have anything exciting in it but a couple pictures in the first post.

I think its cool but with all that money I would have made it rwd and used a real trans

 

[AjL227]

Should have planted this powerplant in a 7th gen Impala/4th gen Monte.

 

[camarokidz28]

and I guarantee he gets a SHIT LOAD of attention at every car show it's ever been too.
You guys are very harsh. If thats what he likes more power too him. Yes it's not very practical, but I bet every trans am forum look at us like we are driving around in honda civics.

I wouldn't spend my money on that. but it's an interesting car none the less.
I do not like the hood. or the gay bead locks on stock wheels.
I DO like: The exhaust, the LS7, the turbo.

really it's not that far off from a gxp with a 5.3 in it. same concept just ramped up 10x. and you guys wouldn't rip on a gxp like this

 

[smug]

Yea I would.
GXP is a piece of flaming dog shit left on your door step.
