Nice to see someone finally got the wheels right. On all the other videos of Monte Carlos they always go way to far on the rim size and tire profile. You also did a really good job staggering the wheels as well.

Tires are great. Cornering is fantastic and rain is not an issue with the directional tread. I can't dead stop hammer it or it just smokes the tires. Slow launches from 10mph or so also will break the rear loose but not too many tires are going to keep traction with nearly 400 horses ;)

Beautiful car. I had a '84 non ss version since high school - same color as yours. Always wanted a SS version 84-88. Classic styling...only thing GM dropped the ball on was the engine. Why they didn't throw the TPI 350 in the SS I have no idea. Unreal now a days how under powered the SS's were back then - if I recall - about 180HP with the 'high output' 305. Still...the Regal T-Type and Monte Carlo SS had the best body lines back then.
@albertgaspar627

I think the reason was two-fold--corporate average fuel economy, and they didn't want to kill sales of 350 Camaro and Corvette. Not that it was going to compete with a 2 seat Corvette with no trunk, but then look at the GNX--why mortgage your house for a 'Vette or bother leasing one. GM likely figured enough NASCAR fans were going to buy this no matter what was under the hood, just to get the look.
