My brother had a 1985 Monte Carlo SS and we did some work to the engine - 305 G motor and he put a 700R4 in it.
We had some Toyo tires on it, with wide wheels and a full Rancho suspension kit in it.
Needless to say, one night they clocked him on the highway at 141 MPH.
It took the State Police 27 miles to catch him.
Every time they went to set up a road block, he was already past that point.
Two of the cars that were chasing him were the police edition Camaro's and they couldn't touch him.
He finally got scared and ran off the road, with about a 2 mile lead and when he couldn't get the car to move because he tore the front wheel off the car, he decided to run through the woods. The police caught him and put the boot to him.
I was home in bed with my girlfriend and when I got the call the next morning to bail him out of jail, he was pretty shook up.
That was mothers day, 1993
We brought the car home, I tied it to a tree, I pulled out the suspension with a 10 ton come along and 4 trees. We beat and banged the car back into shape and he drove it until he lost his license several months later.
He then spent the money that he got out of the car on a 1988 Camaro, kind of a IROC look alike. I think that we have had about 10 Camaro's since then.
