Why would anyone design a car to basically look like a Nascar and then not make it V8 and RWD
Because 90s EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FWD BECAUSE IT SELLS. NEXT STOP FWD FERRARI
Because cheap
Cause GM, always ready to disappoint at a moments notice
GM's good at screwing up like that. GM is like making a PB&J except the PB&J sides are on the outside of the sandwich instead of on the inside.
Slap the word "Earnhardt" on it and someone will buy it.
This car is a physical embodiment of Florida.

Brick walls. Red SAN plastic pebbled cups. That strange swirl pattern plastic mozzarella and red pepper flake shakers. The faint noise of a “insert credit” screen of a Galaga/Pac-Man combination and obscure WW2 era top down airplane game plays in the background while you’re dad stretches his neck, but not his entire torso, (because that’s too much effort) to find a waitress because “THEY NEVER REFILL THE SPLENDA CONTAINERS”.

Imagine buying this car for 30k back then, (40 now) to park the car in your garage for nearly 20 years, never drive it, only for it to we worth $3,000 today.
Actually if it had low miles it'd be worth alot more than that. Take 5 seconds and look in the "sold" section on Ebay sometime. Last one sold last month for $12k with 25k miles on it. There's one currently for sale with 58k miles for $14,500. You act like this is the only car to ever depreciate...
Boomers got hosed! Its delightful
@@sidefx996 I get a BMW E30 in 2014 and with 200kmiles is worth almost double that xD
they did the same thing with those late 70s corvette Indy 500 "pace car editions" every year theres the same 20 or so for sale at the barret jackson. these boomers always bet on the wrong horse with these "future classics"
This is why you should never buy a new car for weekend driving, you will lose money no matter how little you drive it.
Modern daily and classic weekend car is the way to go.

I feel bad for Jen. This is probably the cleanest, best kept car that's been on this channel yet one of the harshest videos. Yeah I understand it's not personal and they're not great cars, but she obviously takes a lot of pride in it and seeing her on track was awesome. 👍
Agreed. Its her passion
I have a feeling Jen is the. “yeah my car is a joke and I still beat you, making my win all the more impressive.” Type
She knew what she signed up for.
I don't think he shat on the car that much... he did praise it in certain ways too. He could have been harsher.
I think Jen would probably find that a little patronising, and actively sought out RCR because she thought it'd be funny for them to rip on her car. Anyway Mr Reg was only ever disparaging the original owners, not used buyers.
6:58 “Here’s my car. Here’s my toy car.” “Rare rare rare rare rare.”
The toy might be worth more
I have this 2004 Red Rare Dale Earnhardt Car! How insulting can these people be? Have they even driven one? This car is scary fast 150 and up in 2 sec. flat! Mine is No. 1972 our of the 2,883 that were made. This car was very cared for and lived better than I do!. So clean you could eat off the engine and the underneath of this car!! My Mechanic said it was built so well and it runs so well (and it runs very well!! Very quiet!) that if all cars were built like this, they would have no cars to repair. The guy who is talking on this video is full of shit!!! It holds the road well all the time. Not a rattle in it. I was able to insure it very well under Classic Car Ins. because they said it was hard to find and very rare! I also have 1 or 300 1985 Monte Carlo SS with a extra added horse power engine, Black Cherry with the red/orange stripes. It is a beautiful car !! Classic Car Ins. Co. liked it so well they had the car do a commercial for their Company about 3 yrs ago! So there!!!! Whomever is spouting as this crap about these classic cars must not own one, other wise he would enjoy it and treasure it!! I sure would like to stuff a tail pipe in his potty mouth! I am so blessed to own 2 of them!!!!!
@@bjccarrol9793 my comment was a direct quote from, well, numerous RCR car show videos. And Im just as guilty. I will have my “toy car” and proudly display my “rare rare rare” 1994 mustang. It has factory red interior. As many mustangs were built in any given year, there is always something that will make it “rare rare rare.”
"...for a man who huffs bowling shoe spray..."
Mr. Regular, you've got a unique way with words that still leave me laughing.
"Two transmissions later" sounds about right 🤣
And 4 fuel pumps.
Those transmissions are made of glass, toilet paper, and broken promises.
4T65s are absolute garbage. Even the non-supercharged 3.8s would chew them up.
Crazy Chris I got a rebuild done about 60,000 miles ago. On a 2001 LeSabre. Stock. Mostly highway miles (@217,000 miles now). I like everything else about the car. Mostly. 😒
@Crazy Chris yeah my Monte Carlo at 104k decided that the O2 sensor was no more, and also...who needs an alternator right? The car slams out of first just like you said. I'm gonna have to rebuild or find a remanufactured transmission. The lights also come on when the sun is out, and when it gets dark I have to manually turn on the headlights🤣
I mean, that is a pretty clean Monte. Tacky style, but clean.
Tacky and hideous. I had one. You park it and try not to look back at it.
90 percent of the cars on this channel are "clean". That means nothing
@@moonbeamskies3346How is it hideous??
This generation of Monte Carlo litteraly looked like it was a modern take on the 80's Monte SS.
The only problem I had with it was the FWD and the Buick Engine.
@@moonbeamskies3346 😂
@@extremedrivr I love the 80s Monte Carlo, and I agree they incorporated some of that into the 2000 generation. But they ruined it with the overall droopy look and hideous headlight shape. The 2000 Impala looked fine, and if they had kept that look on the Monte Carlo it would have been a nice looking car.
"I WANNA GO REAL FAST AND TURN TO THE LEFT SOMETIMES"
YEE YEE BROTHER
Mr. Regular not holding punches. That’s why we love him.
I will say, as a tall person these things were actually quite nice. They are to date, the only two door FWD coupe I can fit in the back of and not want to die like 15 minutes into the ride. And they are pretty comfy in their own right to drive.
“The sports memorabilia room your uncle never lets you in” absolutely perfect way to describe it.
The Monte Carlo should have stayed Rear wheel drive .
Vendura
And manual transmission. ;(
@@tacomas9602 manuals didn't sell that well in montes. Especially after the 1st gen. They were too late to the muscle car era and just in time for the oil crisis years.
If the entire W platform stayed RWD it would have completely changed the way the cars were percieved. The Grand Prix GTP for example with a 3800 Supercharged engine and RWD would still be driven and modified by enthusiasts today. It would have went head to head with the Thunderbird Supercoupe. Even this car would have been pretty nice (minus the dorky badging) to own.
@@twincam103 I feel that manuals had a short resurgence after the first Fast and the Furious movies.
@@austinm.9832 yes but by then the monte didn't come in manual for 21 years and it was 14 years removed from the RWD platform. Early 2000s we had this crap. And a manual wasn't even a thought in GMs head.
We had a Monte Carlo SS "Intimidator" Trim come into the shop. We made so much fun of it haha
How did you even work on it? I’d be too *intimidated*
There's one in the parking lot at my apartment, I used to have a regal gse and it was honestly faster with the same super charged engine and 2 more doors
Thank you Mr Regular! 😊 This came out better than expected, I love it! Keep those good videos coming!
Don’t let his narration bother you, it’s his style 😂. Props for keeping it nice while driving the wheels off of it 👍
@@brucechamberlain9890 oh it's not, in fact I encouraged it
Nice to see you here, Jennifer! Keep your car strong!
I use to have one of these but it was a base model rusty beater... in blue. But my god I loved and still miss that car.

Ouch. Bought one. It's been pretty darn dependable so far.
I didn’t realize how cathartic this episode would be considering I see these quite a bit
It’s always people that either aren’t car people or desperately want something else with a v8 soon
Every time I see a Monte Carlo from this generation on the road I gag, this car is an ugly ass piece of shit
Yeah it's definitely a car

Chevrolet Monte Carlo, official car of “I never see these because I live somewhere that doesn’t have a half kfc half Taco Bell”

Not to ruin the joke, but we actually have these in LA and no Monte Carlo's lol
D V you’re trying to tell me that there are no w platform Chevy Monte Carlos in LA? HAHAHAHA THATS A GOOD JOKE
@@Shotty262 It's an exaggeration, but you rarely see these cars. You rarely see old Chevy's like this anymore honestly. Back when I was younger, Monte Carlos and Camaro's were the hype...now it's Chargers and Challengers.
I've seen maybe one of these around and I live near two KFC/Taco Bells.
I’ve never seen one in Napa CA
GM slaughtered this car when they put it on the fwd W platform. I can understand the Impala and 4 door Grand Prix GT being a fwd car since they actually had a usable rear seat that in a crunch could fit 3 across. The Monte Carlo was a large fwd Coupe with mild performance and marginal interior quality. It was a front heavy vehicle that didn’t like to be pushed and the earlier 2000-03 6th gen SS models were dogs without the supercharger. Ride quality was Buick plush, maybe a tiny bit stiffer but it was not sporty at all. A lot of the W bodies felt like badge engendered versions of one another.
A lot of the W bodies like badge engendered versions of one another.
There's a good reason for that. GM still hadn't learned from the late 70's - 80's .
I owned 3 yes they are the same garbage.
@@ExtremelyOCDBetween that and bad money management is what almost shut them down. Also, it's crazy how the Korean manufacturers can make various four door cars that people actually buy, but American manufacturers can't seem to grasp what we want in a car. It's not that people don't buy cars, rather America doesn't make sedans that people actually want to drive anymore.
@@EricFortuneJr.
People buy Korean cars without being warned of catastrophic engine failures and 🔥. No thank you!!
They can keep their Hyundai and Kia's.

My prized possession is my booty hustlers sticker that says “raise hell praise dale”.
And this is exactly how Dale would have wanted to be honored after death.
if it don't have a sticker that says: "Gas, Grass, or Ass, no one rides for free. And no Fat Chicks" then it ain't official 70s - 80s 'Merica!
Neighbour got his daughter one of these, the black on red intimidator version. I was a kid so i thought it was a v8. Because of course it should be. Unlimited disappointment finding it out
Similar story on my end! Neighbor a few houses down had one just like you described. Little 5 year old me, loving Nascar, thought it was a RACE CAR!!! Imagine my disappointment...
My brother had a friend that swapped a V8 in it. It was pretty rad, to bad it was still fwd.
How could it NOT be with front wheel drive?
The body style after this one actually came with a 5.3 v8
@@johncenayoll they share the same rear no? Thought it was just a facelift
I am always impressed with Roman's rhyming ability, like damn dude.
Master of English for both of them, afaik.
My wife’s dad bought one brand new, he’s daily driven it every day for years. It’s got over 300k on the clock. He’s redone the suspension a few times, many wheel bearings and a transmission but it’s still alive to this day. These cars really aren’t that bad.
DOOOOOO IT FOR DAAAAAAALEEEEEEE BROOOOOOOOTHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Hey, Cleetus don't see you there.
💀💀💀💀💀💀
That awkwardly slanted and un-centered "8" on the front bumper tells us the entire story of this car.
Putting a big "8" in the engine bay next to the V6 seems like taking the piss a bit.
@@worldcomicsreview354 while this car is exactly the phrase "taking the piss a bit," Dale was #8.
That’s the plate cover
If you’re in a state that requires front plates you remove it
I've always had an irrational affection for that last generation of Monte Carlo, so I'm psyched to hear Mr. Regular ripping into it.
I thought the last carlo looked like an impala with 01 tail lights.
Clicked like immediately after "aaand two transmissions later", love the 'do it for dale' style dedication lol
Roman: Give me the hottest beat you have
Metronome: I got you fam
Yet even his rap ends with an existential crisis.
Monte Carlo; the official car of the guy who lives in the only late 80s bungalow left in a neighborhood of 2 story houses.
I like how NASCAR cars at time used to look like the streetcars
COT and Gen 6/7 are not closer to Real Cars as those used to be
No stock cars have been even close to street-like since the 70s. A 2004 "Monte Carlo" stock car shared just as much with its real counterpart as Jeremy Clarkson shares with Angelina Jolie.
Well, gen 6 did make them look more similar at least. Better than the CoT did.
I'd say Gen 6 at least looks close to what the street car looks like. Though they're more like Silhouette cars and have been since at least the early 90s. As much as I love the look of the Gen 4 cars, I can't deny that they were far from stock.
@@BenjoKazooie64 i meant in shape/looking, not in motor or peformance
@@superninja252 Or body, or Frame, suspension, etc...
Mr Regular did it for Dale!!1
*Jr
Who the hell is dale?
This REALLY makes me miss my 1998 Grand Prix GTP. Sold it with 225,000 miles on it because the rocker panels were starting to rust out, have missed it ever since. Even though it was the best car I've ever driven in the snow, it had the shittiest, most undersized brakes I've ever driven, not just owned.
And you could have upgraded those you know to solve that problem. Just saying..
I always liked the look of the Grand Prix coupe and the Monte Carlo. While I think these should have had a V8, a supercharged V6 is cool too. Good looking cars.
Great timing, just saw one of these spontaneously catch on fire in our work parking lot. 😂👍
Do it for dale
It wasn’t spontaneous. It knew what it was doing.
That's what some of us would call a pro racer move. (Maybe a Paul Walker move depending)
@@Stahlwerk88 Kill me please. My GM wiring can't handle this anymore.
3800 powered GM cars had several recalls for engine fire. The valve cover gaskets would warp over time and allow engine oil leak onto the exhaust manifolds, which would start a flame that spread via the spark plug wires. When I bought my Grand Prix in high school I had the gaskets changed within a month of having it. My classmate also had a Grand Prix, and his ended up catching on fire lol
When watching these car reviews, it entertains me to see someone actually “testing” it out.
Probably one of my favorite owners from this channel
My dad had a black 2000 SS. It wasn't supercharged, and it got beat on for 250000 miles over 12 years, but man did we love that car. We thought it was so fast... even though it wasn't. Sometimes I still think about going to get one of these things just to remember the old days.
After watching this video, I like the car more. Maybe it was because the owner seems so dedicated to it, tracked it and loved it enough to put two transmissions in it and keep on going? Jen sounds like a cool lady!
Sad thing is there was a time in the early 70s when a Monte Carlo was a classy luxury muscle car. That was a respectable car. You needed to actually be somewhat successful to own one.
GM themselves ruined the name in the late 80s.
1970-72 alot of gm's went right to hell in 73
Kind of like the 1st gen Merc Cougars, which were built on a slightly lengthened Mustang platform.
@@Misericorde9 Yep exactly. A '67 Cougar XR-7 is actually a collectible car. As opposed to the 1987 Cougar XR-7 which is a pile of plastic junk.
But the Monte Carlo didn't exist in the late 80s
@@nickrustyson81241988 was the last year for the RWD Monte which to be fair is the late 80s
that car is a whole lot more 1994 than 2004 :)
PS. No disrespect to the owner Jennifer - she is quite clearly great
NEVER LATE IN A 3-8
i honestly love the 6th gen montes, so many good memories and fun times.
jen is my hero.
Roman's flow at the end was so hot it set my speakers on fire.
What a hilarious review. I picked one of these up for $6,700 in 2008. I had a 2003 Supercharged version, drove it for 5 years, picked it up with 43,000 miles and got her up to 200,000 miles when I sold it. It was incredibly reliable, the only non standard maintenance I had to do was two wheel bearings. Other than that it was just brakes, oil, spark plugs and that's about it. Was a blast playing around with the 90's mustangs and all the ricer 4 cylinders because they never expected to get gapped by it. Overall I loved the thing for what it was, it was a great daily driver that could be fun when you wanted it to be.
As a recovering Monte owner, I can say I have been waiting for this video for ages lol
Wow, it’s a lumina coupe!
Impala coupe
@@Dankcatvacs The 90's "Monte Carlo" was a Lumina coupe. It was filled with NOPE.

God dammit that would have been the perfect intro song for this.
The GM W-platform. The official car of cocaine 80s influenced “engineering”.
Driving your Monte Carlo SS with 90s Oakleys on, rocking a mullet and a Camel points hat, listening to Skynard. Then pulling up to your double wide trailer with a case of Busch beer, with a Malboro Red behind your ear is as good as it gets.
I used to love my mom's Buick Regal GS, it was fun, put some 18" wheels on it one year and went to the Mini Truckin' Nationals in Pigeon Forge, TN and everyone seemed to love it for some strange reason lol. Edit: It might have been the whine of the supercharger, had put a cone style filter on it so you could hear it really well over the factory exhaust.
The “do it for dale!” Chants made me spit out my toothpaste lolw

I watched one of these destroy an Audi with thirty day tags at a light. I can't think of anything worse to lose to.
The sound imitation at 2:50 was so hilarious and so accurate
As an owner of 2 of these you are pretty correct on the type of person that normally drives these cars
if you live in a rural area you see an older guy, nascar shirt with holes in it, smoke cigarettes and saying things like "did you see that thing i posted on The Facebook about them trying to microchip us!"
i bought an 01 SS "limited edition" in my early 20's because my boomer father told me they were reliable and were gonna be "worth something one day" (they made 91k in 2001 alone)
8 years later its rusted badly, on my 4th motor and second trans.
i sold it to my gf who will drive it till it falls apart because the motor i put in it only has 25k miles on it right now
so what did i replace it with? ANOTHER ONE
07 monte carlo SS with the LS4, weird motor to be FWD but i love it
it has the start of the same rust issues but this time i got ahead of it and either fixing it or sanding most the rust from under it and spraying rust inhibitor on it
its a silly car, but i love it
I'm staying in Iowa rn, in a rural town and you're right. Ive seen 3 in this town alone.

@@innnlove Yes
@@HundTheHound cute
The ls4 monte carlo may actually have some sort of value one day do to it being such an anomaly.
Really feeling called out here... you just described my key chain.....
This car was part of a nascar series, their was a Gordon version, a Stewart version, and an Earnhardt Sr. Version in addition to this one.
When I first started driving I had such a hard on for the Monte Carlo SS we went to a dealer to buy one, black with grey highlights. The dealer wouldn't budge on the price. I still plan to own one one day.
Wow! Haven’t heard the name “Summit point” in awhile. That’s where I first learned to race go karts up in WV. Got some great memories there with a friends Porsche club too.
I remember watching this just after last period of one of my first days of virtual school the day this video came out. Not much has changed in the past year since that day.
Roman with that straight fire, droppin' a casual 4 bars like Ye 🔥
I remember people entering these in the local winga-dinga car shows when they were brand new.
He rapped over the metronome. It's fitting for this car review.
What's hilarious is that this car did eventually get a 5.3 litre V8
and it was STILL front wheel drive
It's not torque steer it's throttle assisted steering it's a feature
The official car of LIMITED EDITION 1 OF 25,000 diecast cars from the 2000's. Marketed as future investments yet they became the opposite.
Pretty much Franklin Mint's business model.

Ugliest Chevy ever.
@@moonbeamskies3346 Indeed
I personally have one but a Dale Earnhartdt sr edition that I like very much and what I do not understand is that in the comments in the majority people do not like it but when I ride with in the street I constantly get thumbs up or nice comments. We even take pictures of him in the parking lots
@@moonbeamskies3346Your smoking crack because the ugliest Chevy has to be the Bolt EV.
I'm glad to hear Jen enjoys her Monte Carlo SS , that's great :D It looks great very nice :D
When a Grand Prix gets hit by an ugly stick.
Side ripples, side ripples, side ripples...
The regular Monte Carlo SS of this era looked good imo (the Dale Jr treatment kind of ruins it), but still I always thought the Grand Prix was sexier.
My dad told me that he saw a GM sponsored questionnaire in a car magazine when this generation of Monte Carlo was announced. "FWD or RWD for the new generation?" It asked. He voted a return to RWD, and apparently so did 90% of voters. We all know what GM did with that info.
I actually LOVE this car haha. I have a 1/18 scale diecast of it hahaha
Did you know you can get it in RWD in a holden commodore
Good luck a vs in good condition low miles with a 5 speed will fetch at least 13-16k from an importer
@Johnny Canuck see these things with a crazy cam and a gen 5 m90 swap with an intercooler and they make 400 I've seen people turbo em and the motors go up to 500 horse , I'm surprised they sont get used more
That’s a whole different car made under a whole different company and platform in America. Here it’s the Pontiac g8 GXP. It’s my dream car.
Ok back in the day my boy was rolling in a 71 monte carlo 454. Keystone mags and radial TAs..got a lot of tail...
This video validated me and bless Jen for keeping this relic and doing it.
Man where's Jen's info? I Wana watch her race more!

"You're named after a champion!"
Yeaaaaaah, about that....
Not a Cup champ, but a two time Busch Series champ

Roman: this was the best regular rap for the best “regular” car you’ve reviewed.
Spot on with respect to the type of people who find this type of car attractive. Frankly I've had Revell model car kits that have less and better plastic in the interior.
I rented one of these to take a business drive from Pittsburgh to Ashtabula. I had to do a panic stop when a car cut in front of me at a toll barrier and I still remember feeling like I was in an out of control sled that was going down in icy hill. It might have looked cool to onlookers but all I could see was that concrete lane divider coming right at my driver side door.
Hating NASCAR and buying a NASCAR inspired car is like hating [leader of 1940's Germany] and buying a VW beetle...
*oh wait*
My Dad's cousin (I called her my aunt) had one of these, and to be fair she owned a NASCAR Weekly team at the time.
The way those thin tires hiding under the fenders are giving me 1st gen Honda Insight vibes.
That outro rap was straight fire 🔥. How long till the Regular Car Reviews album hits Spotify? I need this on my commute playlist.
That specific car is like a time capsule to mid 2000's car scene. A hodge podge of DIY performance upgrades, Autozone cosmetic items, and stickers. I'd bet $100 she has a board advertising the details of this car that gets set up at "car shows" at Sonic.
Got a neighbor who found one of these with a blown engine. He put an LSX with a 6 speed and all new suspesion. Not my thing, but with the nascar like rims it looks okay.......it sounds like a beast.
Listening to this on my way to work, I was all offended as I had a 3.4 2005 Monte a couple years back, until I stopped at a gas station for coffee and saw this EXACT MODEL idling out front, with the owner smoking at the front door. No lie.
ive literally been waiting forever for a review for the W-Body platform. . here we are boys
it makes me so happy that she races it
It looks like racecar 🤷♀️ so why not race it. This car won me a damn championship. It's more racecar than most tunerboys and their civics
