Allways fancied a Monte myself,

But then thought if you are going to modify it whats the point. Chances are that the wheels would be changed and it would be chipped and receive a hybrid so that would leave you with some numbers on the dash, Motorsport embroiderd on the seat bolsters and an alloy gear knob / handbrake lever. Probilly better to buy a run of the mill esc cos if thats your intention.

However if your going to leave it standard and keep the miles down then i'd say the Monte is the one to go for.

Thats what i think anyway.
