 Please congratulate Nick, aka Spider_carb of Bristol, VA for being our latest featured SS. Nick's SS has come a long way and he should be very proud. What's not obvious from the excellent outer appearance is what lies underneath. 5 speed transmission and fuel injection setup that makes this SS a real screamer. Congrats Nick!

.. Paul,
... You must have been reading my mind... just 3 or 4 hours ago I was thinking the same '1st for 2010' burgundy Monte had been featured for a long time... almost PM'd you to remind you... then you pop a new one up...
.. Nick,
.. What type of EFI and how many cubes...?
.. You both have two-toned Montes...
