The Chevy Monte Carlo was introduced in the early 1970s at the height of the Muscle Car Era. The first-gen model shares many of its components with the Chevelle/Malibu, such as the chassis, body panels, interior, engines, and transmissions. It also looks longer than the Chevelle/Malibu. Engine options include 350, 400, 402, and 454 cu V8s with various power outputs. The best version of the Monte Carlo would have to be the SS 454 because of its displacement and raw power. Most of us can agree that the Monte Carlo got worse after its first generation in terms of its design, performance, and quality. This doesn't mean any of the following generations flat out suck. The Chevy Monte Carlo in general has had a ton of success in NASCAR when it was still in production. However, its glory days are long over. Although the Monte Carlo isn't as popular as other muscle cars, it deserves much respect because it's a great and capable large, rear-wheel drive coupe.
