While Chevrolet Monte Carlo It could still be ordered with a V8, but by the time the final generation debuted, it had switched to front-wheel drive and was slower than the Honda Accord with a V6. NASCAR version, on the other hand, is basically the complete opposite. It’s rear-wheel drive, comes with a manual transmission, and is really, really fast. It’s not street legal, but who cares? It’s a race car, and You can now buy one on Cars & Bids.
Now, since this is a race car, you won’t be using it to take your kids to school or pick up groceries unless you have access to a super convenient private road. However, it would make a great showpiece, if you’re the type of person who can afford it. a house big enough to hold a car inside. But that’s boring and lame. Don’t do that. Instead, I say Channel your inner Garage 56 and join the puppy race. You probably won’t get the fastest lap time of the day, but who cares? Let that naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V8 sing as you drive your Budweiser-decorated Americana.

According to the listing, this particular car was built for Dale Earnhardt Jr., and he actually raced it in the 2007 Pepsi 400. Unfortunately for Earnhardt Jr. and the car, that race didn’t go particularly well for them. He finished that race in 36th place. However, he qualified and eventually beat Denny Hamlin, so that performance wasn’t as bad as it could have been. Besides, the limiting factor whenever you get on a track (if you can find one that will let you on) probably won’t be how competitive your old NASCAR race car was in 2007.
Come on, you know you want a King of the Beers race car. It’s awesome even if it’s only used by a limited number of people. Don’t listen to the haters. They’re just jealous that you can afford a cool race car and they can’t. Either that or they don’t love America.
