Congrats on the new car! Be aware of the transmission and gasket issues. The LIM and head gaskets are somewhat prone to go bad along with the transmissions.

Proper maintenance can usually extend the lives of these things. I'm at about 130k on my LS without an issue, knock on wood

Enjoy the car!

Keep up with maintnance and obviously do prematnative (miss spelled that one) maintnance it might out due my 700k+ 03 LS, though I highly doubt cause we all know an 18yo is gonna push this car to its limit 90% of the time he drives it.

Ps. Welcome to the forum old man.

Looks pretty similar to what I have in my signature

Feel free to PM me and get my number if you want, I'm always down to help expand some of my knowledge with Monte Carlo's and the 3400 engine itself to you or your son if you'd like.
