hey guys i am thinking about geting a 6th gen monte carlo ss and i was wondering if they all came with the 3800 s/c or if some came with the n/a 3800 if could somebody tell me what year came with s/c as i dont want the n/a 3800 (boat anchor)

thanks guys

 

2004 and up had that as a option on the SS models.
i have a 03 and belive me i wished i had waited the 15 days to have the S/C so i dont have to add one now LOL

but honestly i like mine as is to. just less things for me to have go wrong under the hood. belive me with my lead foot i dont need anymore toyz right now LOL

 

so it wont be every monte 04 and up that will have a s/c then ?
maybe i am better of getting a LS model then !!

 

04 and 05 came with the supercharged 3.8's but not all ss's were supercharged all the nascar editions were but it should be fairly easy to find a supercharged one

 

nope even if you dont get the S/C then you will still be happy with the SS.



even if it is a 3800 with or with out the S/C they still have some punch to them. Not going to say they are neck snapping but they defently have something there.

 

do some of the ss models come with special wings and body kit's or are they all the same ??
i know that the made the nascar series so i am guessing that they are original to each other right ?
but all the other ones are the same ?

this is my first time buying a new car and if i am goting to be paying 30000 + for a car i just wanna be sure that i am going to get somthing that i like so i mite have alot of questions of you guys in the next couple of weeks
hope you dont mind giving me some answers i am not familer with the new monte just the old ones

 

The Nascar version Montes with the flag graphics are different.

At least from some of the other SS Montes I've seen. We stopped to look at a yellow Monte last night on a used car lot. Window sticker read it's an '04 and I noticed it has the lay down (surf board) spoiler on the back. Not the stand up spoiler.

 

the supercharged monte can be made into "necksnapping" fast...too me it was fast when i first got it...and i haven't had any problems smoking any 4.6 or 5.0 mustangs...or even a lot of v8 chev's

 

anything can be neck snapping if you have enough cash to throw at it LOL

but i agree the S/C/ are nice motors and dont have to many issues keepign up with most things on the road.
If i had the choice between one or the other i would have picked the one with. But with out is good to .

so i guess what im saying in the short of it all is I dont miss what i dont have

 

If you're wanting to build good power you need to go with a S/C 3800. Believe me they can be very fast. On my 98 GTP I had u-bend delete, Borla cat back exhaust, 3.4 S/C pulley, CAI, and some other mods and was pushing close to 300 hp at the crank & with no driveability problems either.
