Wait wait wait!
I think i finaly found a thread with some information. again, i could be wrong
but it's the closest i've found.

If this is correct, TS edition meaning... Tony Stewart? but that can't be true because i've seen Tony Stewart editions with 3800 series engine.?!????
HELP!

Sorry, KidSpace fails again on his SpaceSearch : (
I can not find infor on a TS option for a 03 LS
Maybe this one has been modified ?
It could be a dealer option and not factory.
It is a great look'in Monte, with the NASCAR Spoiler, duals,
body kit, etc.
Selling dealer should have infor, or hopefully one
of our member's with a LS will know & post
Click below link 4 options on 03 LS

TS = 2005 Tony Stewart Special/Limited Edition 3.8L SuperCharged SS only in 2005.
Be patience & give some members a chance to
read your post. I am sure one of our members
know. I really think it is a dealer optioned Monte LS.
Ask the dealer if the Monte has original paint ?
If decals were added ?
CarFax Report should indicate `if there were
any accidents or body work.
Good Luck, I got 2 log `off
Check back later `ok
Good Luck

It's not a tony stewart. Putting 2 pipes in isn't hard, it's just converting the 1 pipe to be 2.
This monte is a basic LS, cloth interior etc, the 3.4 engine.
It just looks like it has the Razzi body kit put on, a Y-Pipe to give dual exhaust pipes, and a new set of rims.

I think you can do better for the price. When I was looking for montes, early 2000 SS montes were close to the same price and that was a year and a half ago. Seems like you might be paying more for the "TS" package which really isnt anything. I would look around more, Im sure you can find a better deal and get an SS as well.

3.4 can have major problems. Be sure to check the oil for any signs of coolant/water and check the coolant for any signs of oil.
Also when you drive it, if you feel ANYTHING odd in the steering, it's probably in Intermediate Steering Shaft that will need to be lubed or replaced.
