RE: MC LSX
I think LSX means the car has either the LS-1 or LS-4 engine installed.

RE: MC LSX
Perdy, but an LS1 or 4 in an 00-05? Call me skeptical but I don't see to many dealers doing that. I know the '06-'07 SSs got the LS4 wasn't it? I've still never seen one with LSX instead of SS badging.
Maybe it's like the RS badges I found. https://montecarloforum.com/m_69021/tm.htm |

LSX
At the 2006 SEMA show, GM Performance Parts introduced the LSX engine, an all-new cast-iron racing block based on the LS7 engine. It was designed with help from drag racing legend Warren Johnson, and despite being based on GM's small-block design, it offers displacements ranging from 364 cubic inches to 511 cubic inches (4.25" Bore x 4.5" Stroke) and is capable of withstanding 2500 bhp. This block incorporates two extra rows of head-bolt holes per bank for increased clamping capacity. The six bolt steel main caps are the same ones used on the LS7 engine. The engine debuted at the auto show in a customized 1969 Camaro owned by Reggie Jackson. The LSX will be available starting the second quarter of 2007, set to be available in authorized dealerships and retailers on March 31, 2007. |
RE: MC LSX
I am going nuts trying to find out what an LSx is.
Looks like it is a performance tune-up and conversion: http://www.lsxtune.com/services.htm |
RE: MC LSX
From what I've read on google (I don't know the dependability of that info sometimes), google relates 00-05 LSX trim with SLP. Whether or not it is a performance upgrade from SLP or just a trim package, I don't know.

RE: MC LSX
What was the limited edition Monte that was available in '02 or '03? I know some of the members on 2kMC have talked about one.
Where's Cort when you need him? |
RE: MC LSX
I would put money on it that is an SLP thing. They have stuff that say's LSX and I know they design the Grand Prix GTX so I would have to say SLP all the way

RE: MC LSX
Being a former member on a grand am forum, I think I may know what this is. The SLP explanation is on the right track.
'99-'05 Grand Am's only came in LS and GT models from the factory. Alot of GrandAm owners on the GA site I was on would mod their grand am GT, just like any other car enthusiast would. Adding turbos, NOS, and all the other performance and appearance mods out there. These people wanted to distinguish their car as being more than a GT, so they would make-up their own model name. Made up model names included GTR, GTS, GTP, and GTX. GTX was the most popular. As we all know, if there's enough demand for something, the aftermarket will make it. I believe the 00-05 Monte LSX is an aftermarket company's (most likely SLP) creation for LS owners who want to improve the performance and looks of their Monte LS. It is most likely acollection of performance and appearance parts available for you to mod your LS Monte. Mostly a bunch of badges you can stick on your car to make people think your special. I must admit, the black LSX car mats looks nice. If I had an LS Monte, I'd probably buy 'em. |
