They made Dale Earnhardt Edition Monte's


There are also Dale Jr one. Someone in my area owns one.




I hate the styling of the Monte Carlo though. 'Nascar inspired' they said. I thought Nascar was supposed to be inspired by the road going cars?!?! Gah.

wow...what a kick in the teeth for true NASCAR enthusiasts.

A front wheel drive Monte Carlo.

Nice homage.



Truth be told...I would much rather own one of these trucks than that Monte Carlo sh!tbox:

As far as the intented topic of this thread. I can't say I'd be willing to drop 50k on a stock car...no matter what the cool-factor. It's pretty neat that they're making them street-legal, though.

On the street there's a big issue with not having those luxuries. If I can't listen to the radio in traffic, there's no point to having all those horses. It makes a nice track car, but we all want to ride in decent seats and a pretty interior.

We need to be realistic. Only those of us with professional racing ambitions have cars stripped to the extent of pure speed. If we all really wanted ridiculously fast cars, we'd all be rocking used racecars.

Then again, I guess that these are intended for enthusiasts who want track cars. God only knows why they're street legal. They could have much more fun building these for track use only.
