Montecarlo=big v6+small hp
Is anyone else tired of having decent sized displacement (3.8l) for a v6 and such little hp. Personally, I m getting tired of getting blown out by those foreign cars with smaller engines with lost more hp! For example, I had a litttle bout with a 2007 niassan 350z the other day, and he blew me outta the water, of course. I have the bigger engine, but his ride has a 3.5l pushing 300hp. I know the 3800 is an older-less efficient powerplant, so this is just a rant of mine. Anyone else disheartened my this current trend!?

RE: Montecarlo=big v6+small hp
it must have been turboed for htat kind of power... i haven't had much trouble holding my own myself though. just remember, if you ahd a 500 hp corvette, somebody wuld be faster... there will ALWAYS be a faster car....

It wasnt turbo'd. The new 3.5 puts out that much, 306hp!

ORIGINAL: ExplosiveSoundz ALSO, here is something else to consider. Our monte's weigh 4,520 pounds. A nissan 350z? 3,300. http://www.edmunds.com/used/2004/che...097/specs.html and even an 08 impala ss is 3790 according to gm http://www.chevrolet.com/impala/specifications/ |

Reviews are made before GM is complete with the line. Go look on the side of your drivers door of your car. 2042kg, or 4,502.
Oops, sorry. Meant 4502, not 4520 |
