Looking to buy 2000-05 Monte Carlo SS!! Questions?
#11
Ok thanks ill have to check out his profile for some pics. Sorry to ask so many questions but I just like to know about my rides before I invest in them. Hows the leg room in these cars? Im 6'3 so I dont wanna have my knees on the dash. Also if I cant find a supercharged 04-05 can the supercharger simply be bolted on a earlier model? Or does it involve swaping PCMs and alot of other work?

To supercharge the non-supercharged engine you have to swap everything from the heads up from an L67 model. As well as the PCM. It's been done TONS of times. Just search for Top-Swap on any forum with the 3.8 (grand prix, regal, bonneville, monte, impala) and you will find many write-ups on it.
Leg room shouldn't be an issue for you, the 8-way seats (or is it 6 way?... up down back front tilt up tilt down... okay let's say it's 6) really let you lower the seats and push away but still angle the way you should like it. I'm 5'9 and I have my seat almost as high as the seat can go, so I'm sure you will have PLENTY of room.

I really don't know lots about the top swap to a supercharger, but many people have done it on here. You can buy the kit from ZZP...
The leg room is awesome. I am 6'1, and have no problems with room. Infact that is one of the many reasons I bought this car, its super roomy and REALLY comfortable.

I'm in the 6'3 neighborhood as well and don't have a problem with leg room. I did test drive an SS that had a sunroof and my head seemed to graze the headliner, not sure if the sunroof made a difference, since they open outside and not under the roof skin, or I just didn't adjust the seat enough. I'm guessing I needed to adjust the seat a little more.

Nah, have the seat in my truck raised up about as high as it'll go. I assume I just didn't "play" with the seat enough to get the best position, besides really didn't notice it until I turned a few corners and could feel the hair on top of my head moving. Shoot that car was so rough that the headliner could have been coming loose too . Only decent part of it was the radio buttons on the steering wheel were in excellent condidition... Go figure!

Thanks for all the replies guys! Ive been searching my local ads for deals on MC's but it seems like whenever your looking for something you cant quite find what your looking for lol. When I wasnt in the market for a MC, I saw them for sell everywhere, but now that I want a low mileage MC, I cant seem to find one anywhere lol. I will let you guys know as soon as I get my ride and post some pics!! Thanks again!
