New Daily - 03 Monte Carlo SS

Just picked this up yesterday. 25,000 miles on it. Not exactly a real “performance” car, but the 3.8 it torquey and hell, Motor Trend says it does 0-60 in 7.3 and the 1/4 in 15.5. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupe/112_9911_2000_chevrolet_monte_carlo_ss/specs_price.html

Plenty for a daily for me, plus it hauls lots of groceries and goes good in the snow too.

nice congrats

Thanks guys, appreciate the nice comments.

I agree 100%, but the supercharded Monte’s were out of my price range right now, and it got to the point where I needed a new daily ASAP. My wife commutes in our 01 ZX2. I normally drove my wife’s old 93 2.3L Mustang, but it’s basically falling apart at this point- in the past six months, I’ve replaced the alternator, water pump, leaking fuel rail, radiator, crankshaft position sensor (major pain in the ass), gone through three ignition control modules, and now it’s throwing belts because the tensioner is bad and can’t be adjusted. It’s been a good car over the years, but with 135,000 miles on it and new problems almost weekly it was time for something new and halfway decent.

yeah stand up spoiler would be tits

and my 03 impala feels weak. gears are too tall…too highway. not sure on the montes tho. hopefully you got something better than the imps.

any question about mods you better know who to go too :bigthumb:

btw I think 05s were the start of the supercharged SSs

congrats i do like the intimidator alot just down on power maybe cause of the ECU limits. i would deff own one if i could but would have the simple mods to help it along

Nice1 Now get ahold of me for more HP and still a very dendable DD man…

congrats

Thanks again guys.

My wife will KILL me if I start modding this heavily. I think I’m going throw a chip on it and a K&N in it and call it a day.

Is the Hypertech programmer a good choice? You can get them for pretty cheap.

dont even think of hand held programmers. i have the software to access your Vin

hypertech is JUNK

i’d say cut off that resonator and other junk in the exhaust, cai, and tune and it should be set!! the stock exhaust has what looks like 3 mufflers! soo much restriction. my dad wont let me mod his car at all! hahaha

i got a few Hyptertech tunes on my Laptop already

they are more like 16.0 flat cars. i know a few people that have them.

hypertech for my lt1 camaro was the worse money ever spent
