Hey Quatermain, I thought you joined the navy. If you did, have you checked USAA for your insurance needs? You may want to give them a call. I have my insurance through them from my years in the army and I've never been happier.

 

I definitely noticed that, strange for sure.

I don't know why they didn't do the modification for a 4t80 off the bat- IIRC the lower horsepower Bonneville GXP with the 4.6 got the 4t80.

 

whats the hp rating for that trans? and not to sound dumb but what IIRC ive seen that alot lately on the boards and im lost.

 

If I Recall Correctly

 

I have joined the Navy, and I thought about joining USAA for insurance. But when I called them and they gave me a quote, they were going to charge me $20 per month more than Progressive, so I stayed with progressive. The other driver in the auto accident is also in the Navy, and he does have USAA.

To avoid paying my $500 deductible for my insurance, I have chosen to file through USAA, where there is no deductible charge, so they've been handling most of the claim so far, and I will admit that they have done a pretty nice job so far. I only wish I could get this all settled sooner, the sooner it's over, the sooner I get my money, the sooner I can buy a new Monte Carlo.

Which reminds me, I found a nice 2005 Monte Carlo SS (Tony Stewart edition) black with 39,500 miles, it has had two owners, and is selling for $13,500 from a private seller. I think that price is a little high, I'd pay $12,000, but I am very interested in this car, so I'll see what happens.

 

Nice find, is it supercharged?

 

If it's a 2005 and an SS it is supercharged.

 

I thought you could still get an SS without it, SOOO sorry. Know it all...

 

If I remember right, some 2004 Monte Carlo SS's were N/A and some were S/C, by 2005 all of the SS Monte's were supercharged.

About the transmission deal on the 2006-2007 Monte Carlo SS, does it use\ the same transmission that the 2004-2005 Monte's used? I thought that the 4t60e wasn't supposed to be able to handle 300HP, or maybe that was about when it started to have problems.

 

Same trans.
