Any SS fans?

I like the Cavalier! Try a 1997 4door Red Cavalier LS, pretty cool. Too bad I can´t get one from were I am :cry:
I´ve tried one like the one mentioned when one of my aunts crashed her car and the insurance company gave her the Cavalier for a while (she has a Ford!!) !!
Anywise for that time it was a cool car, and I don´t like much the reestyling they introduced to it in 2000, it looks too cheap now!

ok.. i LOVE my 2001 Monte Carlo SS.. it is mostly stock, i put a new intake on it,, and it has bout 220 Hp.. and i always race these little suped up honda and always beat them.. maybe it is just me or they really suck but i like it.. i want to put a turbo charger in it..

but i think i will wait untill i here a better word on what they are going to change with it in 2004 if they put a RWD and v8.. then i will wait and get that one!

[Scott 02]

i hope they put a v-8 in one and make it rwd

[SuPeRcAr_MaN]

I agree, Scott. I am dissappointed with the new Mone Carlos. They have a great style with a NASCAR backround, and they made it a piece of junk. Changes are definitely needed.

Those actually didn't run bad if you took off the cats and the other 150 lbs or so of the emission control devices. Re-jet the carb and tune the engine up. One of the main problems with the 305's were the small valves(1.84 1.50) in the cylinder heads(74cc i think) they just couldnt breath enough.

Yeah but a monte carlo with a 5.7L V-8 would be something. Or maybe not quite that big. As long as it has a V-8 in it...it would be on bad ride. Maybe this will happen some day.

The best would be the original and first one ever made...1970 SS 454 of which about 2000 were made. The optional engine had either the 360 orr 390 HP 10.5 to 1 piston ratio. I have owned mine since 1971 after the original owner blew the engine and the dealer installed a vet 390 HP engine. I rebuilt it entirely 30 over, 12 to 1 and back then it ran 11.3 in the quarter. I am currently redoing the roof as the vinyl top got water under it and started to rust. It has been parked most of the last 20 years and has just over 68,000 original miles. The AC is absolutely cold and the body style still is sleek. These are selling anywhere for $12 K for bad, rusted old 350 non SS units up to $30,000 for all original matching numbers. Some days I just love to jump in and punch my 800 dual pumpers ... of course that takes my mileage to about 4-8 MPG. These were great cars and there are few left.

[guest36]

is it possible to put a turbo and supercharger under one hood

[DaICeMAn]

I agree with most here. The new montes suck chevy went way down hill i will never buy a newer one i had a 91 camaro rs 305 auto that was still cool way slower than my monte but v8 rear wheel you cant beat it im building up a 91 eclipse for funn with awd just to pass some time away but other than that and 80's monte ss was and is still my fav of all time just something about them i dont know lol i would take anouther over most any car execpt for like a hummer witch i can sell and buy 6 montes lol well thats my 2 cents have funn all

I just bought an '87 SS for my 16th birthday. It was deliverd on the 4th of July to my house in a covered trailer. Way to celebrate independence, right? Well anyway, I was wondering if anyone would have any information on a custom intake job. I was thinking about removing the 2 middle headlights and replacing them with 2 intakes. If anyone has done this, knows someone who has, or knows where I can get any information on it at all, please let me know. Thanks guys/gals.

Also, FYI, my dad works for the public works around here and apparently our police department has a problem with smashing the crap out of their cruisers, so they average a 350 police interceptor every couple of months, if anyone knows anything about a swap for my Monte, that info would be appreciated also.

I did a costom job on my 87 SS. Its a cold, ram air induction. run one pipeline from the intake down to right under the front end, or take out the turning signal. At the end of the pipeline, make a scoupe. From the other side of the air cleaner box, cut a hole and route another pipeline to the other side. It works pretty tight, but stay away from deep puddles of water. Just go to the hardware store and see what you can come up with

they have put the supercharged 3.8 in for the 2004 SS Montes. I have just bought one and it is awesome. I have beaten up on a new 04 4.6 mustang stick, it was just a regular GT,and several jap jobs. I would put myself up against a cobra just for the hell of it to see how it goes, . I still have not gone to its full potential as it is still being broke in but after that I would take on any one in a race. If I lose then off to the after market shop.
