i've got a brother-in-law that has an 03 (i believe) monte carlo ss. it's a nice car by all means, but he is determined that just because it has "SS" stamped on the side that it's a race car. he claims it's supercharged, but it's not, i've seen the engine bay. it's a stock 3.8. not a bad motor, my mom has a bonneville with the same motor in it, and it runs pretty good. but not good enough to keep up with the LSx motors by a long shot. also claims he can keep up with a corvette [sm=icon_beat.gif]. and he thinks he can outrun my trailblazer ss. [sm=icon_beat.gif] anyways, he's so confident he can outrun my SS we've got a friendly little wager on it ($100), i'm just waiting on him to get ready. i wish he had the new 06+ SS with the 5.3 in it, that would be a good race.


on a side note, mother-in-law is looking at new cars. i'm pushing her toward the new monte ss, grand prix GXP, or bonne GXP

 

my friend has a silverado with a 5.3 and i know the supercharged 3.8 will take it, but the regular 3.8 i dont think so, maybe, it'll be close, very close

we have a guy up here in woodstock that is the same way, he thinks that since his car says ss on it it means supercharged, he's also stickered it like the jr car, but waaaay more stickers(too many in my opinion (its silver) and he keeps saying its the jr edition and that its supercharged, but he doesn't have a boost guage in his car, so i dont think its supercharged and he wont let anybody see the engine because "its dirty" boo hoo** he even recently put a supercharged logo on it, that wasn't on it before

 

i dont have the 5.3...got a 6.0 LS2 and AWD

 

oh ok, in that case he wont have a chance

that awd is gonna slow you down though, would have been perfect if it was just rear wheel drive

you got any pics of your ride, i love those new ss trailblazers, i just saw one a couple days ago, they're mint with the ss rims on it and everything

 

it slows me down a little at speed, but from a dig you can't beat it. how i win most of my street races. RWD cars will spin, mine just squats and takes off. been trying to get a friend of mine with a 'stang to run me, but he won't lol.

got some pics, not the best in the world. i've never claimed to be a good photographer










whoops, how'd that last one get in there? [sm=gears.gif]

 

beautiful, i love those suv's

and you got a pic when u were goin 140!!! lol awesome!

 

yeah, i've caught alot of flack from other people about it too, but oh well.

and i just noticed i had a typo on the subject line...supposed to be "might find this funny"

 

you can change that, just click edit on the first post you made

 

hmm, can't do that on other forums i'm on. moderators have to change it

 

what years did the SS's have the s/c 3.8? wasn't it 04 and 05? and the 03 had the n/a 3.8?
