It's not a show car by any means.

Here it is when I lived in Indiana & it had an LT1/T56:



It has 13" Vette brakes (rotors & calipers) & 12" rear discs.
8.5" GN rear, 36mm 1LE front sway bar, 3" dual exhausts, GTO seats, bla bla bla.

I fixed the link in my signature to a post on pro-touring.com that has more info on it.

Hrbody is a good site for the local guys. Still like to catch alot of guys on here though. Good for Meetin guys that were already on tech but didn't know guys in this area. ^^thats a clean Monte man, and alot closer to a show car than anything I ever owned. Ever run at the track with it?

If I had the money I would change to some Fikse FM5 wheels. But that won't happen for a LONG time. Until then, then ones on it are good. I worked on polishing them up this spring. They are 17x8 front & 17x9.5 rear. Have even debated having the fronts widened to 10.5 for some 315s out back & put something like 265 or maybe even the 275s up front.

Have not had it to the track, hopefully soon. Waiting to order a T56 magnum here soon.

THanks, No haven't got it to the track. Hopefully once the LS2/T56 is in I will be able to do some road course stuff.

Where's that at, and what time y'all usually show up?

As far as the cash racing scene... It's not all that serious. Usually you can get some dumbass that shows up talking smack to run for 20 bucks, though.

Here's the Addy 11017 Jefferson ave. Newport news. Va 23601
People start to show up at 4-5 pm then leave around 9-10pm sometimes there's not enough parking as there might be over 100 cars there.

We use to do the Bass Pro parking lot, but the owners of the businesses got tired of the ricers tearing up the place and kicked us out. Hardees has a good size lot there and is not too bad, but can get crouded at times.
