Monte Carlo SS - TL-P HAHA!

Just got back from racing it.. At a stop light and he's infront of me, which makes me behind him. He looks at me from his side mirrors, puts down his sunroof and windows up. Im still chillen with my cousin and windows down with sunroof up. I launched pretty good, and at 80-100MPH was 1 1/2 ateast infront of him. Shut it down before 105, aint trying to do more stupid shit. Fun race, guy was stunned!

Nothing to brag, just wanted to share

Was it the facelifted model? Or the previous one?

If previous, the best engine they got was a 3.8L 200 hp engine. The new one now can be had with the SC 3.8L engine.

Well I know he was racing, due to the fact that when I reached 100MPH he was behind me with 1 1/2 car lengths.. He was racing for sure, that I know..

I think it was this one, 200HP..

Cool, nice kill.


Although the Monte Carlo only received a facelift fore of the A-pillar, it's pretty easy to distinguish the redesign from the previous one.... especially if you were ahead of him.

SS stands for Super Sport and I agree do not put an SS badge on a 200HP 3600lb ugly ass long coupe it only takes away from the SS name.

SS used to be a revered nameplate, but lately, it's become more of a trim level.

But there are still some good SS models rolling around... The late Camaro SS, TrailBlazer SS with the Z06 engine, and the Silverado SS isn't too shabby, either.
