[b]2006 MONTE CARLO: A NEW LOOK FOR AN ON-TRACK WINNER
Source: GM Media
The aggressively styled 2006 Chevy Monte Carlo heats up the sizzling mid-car segment with enhanced premium-quality features, racing-inspired styling, a new family of powerful engines, as well as thoughtful attention to detail. A new look for the front and rear fascias – including bold headlamps and taillamps – is complemented by revised suspension systems that deliver comfortable, quiet and more confident ride and handling characteristics. These new ingredients improve on an already popular recipe for driving satisfaction.
Monte Carlo draws on a rich NASCAR stock car racing legacy – the most successful nameplate in the sport’s history – to offer one of the industry’s only true midsize personal coupes. The vehicle has remained true to the roots of style and performance established at its introduction in 1970.
“For ’06, Monte Carlo delivers more of the performance and style demanded by customers, but with an increased emphasis on comfort, roominess and driving manners,†said Brent Dewar, General Motors North America vice president of marketing and advertising . “We fine-tuned the details to deliver a value-driven vehicle that delivers unexpected refinement.â€

A new family of premium-feature V-6 engines is available in LS, LT and LTZ models, including a 211-horsepower (157 kw) 3500 3.5L V-6 and an available 3900 3.9L V-6 that uses variable valve timing and variable intake technology to help deliver 242 horsepower (180 kw) and 242 lb.-ft. (328 Nm) of torque.* The muscular Monte Carlo SS has a new 5.3L small-block V-8 that’s good for 303 horsepower (226 kw) and 323 lb.-ft. (438 Nm) of torque. The 5.3L V-8 uses Displacement on Demand technology to regulate between eight-cylinder and four-cylinder operation, providing up to 8 percent improved fuel economy in certain driving conditions.
All engines are matched to the Hydra-Matic 4T65-E four-speed automatic transmission. This smooth shifting transmission is renowned for its durability and strength with high-torque engines. The version mated with the 5.3L V-8 is enhanced to match the engine’s increased torque output.
Highlights for the 2006 Monte Carlo include:
All-new family of 3.5L and 3.9L V-6 engines in LS, LT and LTZ models
Standard 5.3L small-block V-8 with Displacement on Demand technology in SS model
Hydra-Matic 4T65-E four-speed automatic transmission mated to all engines; enhanced version used with 5.3L V-8
Modified exterior styling with bold headlamps and taillamps
Retuned suspensions with wider front track
New family of 16-, 17- and 18-inch wheels and tires
Enhanced ABS and traction control
Revised interior with high-quality attention to detail, including improved seat upholstery stitching, low-gloss IP components and jewel-like IP details
High-quality Nuance Sandstone leather seating (available)
New family of audio systems
Standard dual-stage frontal air bags
Available side seat-mounted air bags for front passengers ( Monte Carlo )
Factory-installed remote vehicle starter available
Standard OnStar
Design details
Monte Carlo has a revised look, both inside and out. The exterior features large headlamps that have a premium, jeweled appearance with three independent lighting units. These details complement other high-quality attributes to provide an overall feeling of solidity. Also, new, flat-blade windshield wipers are used to provide consistent pressure on the glass, which helps eliminate streaking and wind noise. All models receive a sporty rear spoiler.
The Monte Carlo SS has a distinct front-end appearance, with a dual-split grille that has a black-diamond crosshatch pattern. The rear spoiler is unique, too, suggesting the purposefulness of NASCAR spoilers. Cor

Well I was driving a 4 door Blazer. I had invested quite a bit in it. New rims/tires, safari bar and kc lights for it, cd player/amp/12s, jet chip, new intake and exhaust system. After all this I just wasnt satisfied with it anymore. I had gotten it when my son was a small baby. Easy to get the car seat in and out of. Well he is 6 now and able to hop in the back seat and buckle himself in. I started looking for a 01-02 Z28/SS or Ws6 Firebird. I had my local dealer looking for me one and it had been about a month or 2. I checked back with him and he said he had not luck with finding any in good shape with low miles at the auctions. I noticed the SS Intimidator on the lot and checked it out. It was (and still is!) clean and fast. Looked sharp. One of the main selling points for me was the gas mileage it got too. So after driving it for almost 3 months I am very happy with it. Only complaint, I wish it had seat coolers instead of heaters.
This is my second favorite car I have owned, the first being my 91 Camaro RS with a 305 V8 and T-tops.

I really love my new (used) ride & I love the color. I just wish that I had more
time to drive it. If you get the chance,
drive one with a 3.9. There are some super deals on 2006 Monte's.
Unfortunately there is a big lose in value as soon as it's driven
off the dealers lot, but that made it possible for me to get a
super deal on a low mile certified used one & it also helped
that the used car manager is my best friends father.
He already had a buyer for my super/clean 05LT : ) I've seen 06 base
models for $12K & LTZ's for $16K : (.
*Mickey, No money left for mod's @ present, but I'm happy the
price of gas this morning was down to $2.19 a gal. : )
I'm saving for Tint/Tips/Body Side Molding. "Giving up 2 Get &
Giving up 2 Keep" . Peace`Space
