Ss vs ss????
thats modified tho, i love the 500+ hp ss with the cartuning turbo but i think if i ever go that much power it wont be in a monte, more like a camaro or something rwd

stock theyre capable of 13s. theyre was a guy on clubgp with one that went something like 13.68 all stock with the headlight removed in the gxp. it was cold and at atco but its still possible. and the monte is lighter than the gp gxp. ive heard of a few going 13.8s stock. like i said though i think if you put a set of drag radials on both and ran them the BB car would win. and on the street where its more like 1/8th mile racing i think a first gen ls6 bb car with a modern tire could beat a ls4 car.
Hated too see her go..

they make the cobalt SS and the camaro SS. the first gen montes werent really that heavy. only slightly heavier than a comparable big block chevelle. to my knowledge the cars are the same under the body and even use the same trunk lid. montes just a bit longer. should be barely over the 4000lb mark. heavy none the less but far less than 7000lbs. and if it had a ls6 they were underrated at 450 or so hp and over 500tq. i bet they were good for mid flat 13s on a serious tire, the 06/07 cars are faster bone stock,but i wouldnt want to have to drag a tuned big block 70 on my same tire in my 06 even though it might be close.
I wonder what times the magazine guys were getting w/the 80s SS montes???
