I'd give it a solid B.

It has it's problems due to age and being a daily driver, but we still go and have fun at car shows

 

I'm not one to rate my own car, I think other people should do that because I love it and will go right for A+ as anyone here would.
But for this thread, I'll be honest here. She is my DD, through snow and salt as well. She's got a few small blemishes here n' their, but i do my very very best to keep her as clean as possible. I'll give her a B.

 

Trans is the biggest issue
Slight sputter at idle
L/F Hub assembly
Gash in resonator
Headlight switch
R/Headlight can't be aimed
Cracked rear bumper cover
P/S door sticks
Paint does not match over D/S rear tire
The $$$ to fix it are not there when I need them to be.
But the last one is more like a "D" on the Owner!!!

 

I'd have given mine a B-. Weird reliability issues like one window switch worked sometime, having to replace cowl vent seals, air conditioner (twice), wheel bearings, hazard light switch, turn signal cam, re-paint, etc. All routine stuff to go on the car. It drove well, handled well, looked great, but I felt like the performance could have been a little better considering Camaro's had the same drive train in RWD and the V8's were over 300 hp. Decent mileage for its time and all.

Mine was an '03 in superior blue.

** Hi `Duane, thanks for your post/words time & sharing. It's great to see you online & posting/sharing > Thanks

 

I gave the Deuce an A+ because she is a gem. When her new headers are installed this spring she will be a A++


Her engine and drive line are solid I have done all recommended maintenance


I burn only premium and use only synthetic oil


I put fewer than 1,500 mile a year on her now


I have zero outstanding issues with her


She'd run me over if I gave her less than an A+

 

 

Thanks Space you are kind sir!

 

I went with an overall 6th gen monte rating of B

They all have quite a few issues with the ABS/Wheel speed sensors, Coolant Elbows and other various problems such as a faulty catalytic converter on a few years, that I honestly think shouldn't ever be a problem, well at least not as common as they are.

And most importantly they didn't come with a v8, I'm sorry but an SS should have an 8 cylinder, or at least every one of them should have come with the supercharger.

My personal car I give an A because I do love it, it is in excellent condition and still drives like new.
