Which gen Monte SS? My roommate is a Monte SS freak. The newer ones (like within the last year or two) have the deathless blown 3.8L motor you'll find in a Grand Prix GTP and the newer Impala SS's. I believe those are making 240hp or so. Slightly older ones made something like 200hp from a N/A 3.8L. The gen before (the '82-'87 models, I believe) that got the oh so wonderful LG4 305 that belted out a whopping 180hp. They are in no way, shape, or form connected to the NASCAR cars save for the name (but that's the way things go in NASCAR). The closest resemblence to the NASCAR vehicles were the '86-'87 Aerocoupes...just a regular SS with a longer sloping back windshield (which actually made it slower due to the window's ridiculous weight). Any way you split it, the Montes aren't major players.
