HERE is my website. I threw a few pics on there. I was at that same car show at the Broward County Convention Center in south Florida.
I didn't get a real good full-car pic of the Monte but look at a (current) Monte SS with the High Sport Appearence Package, and that's pretty much it. It's a nice car. You might say "V-6, FWD" but look at all the imports that everyone seems to be buying.....4 banger, FWD. I hate rice, but all rice is pretty much 4 cyl. FWD and they don't seem to complain about it. And actually, some of those kids do get those cars to go pretty fast. Imports seem to be selling more cars than Detroit nowadays so they must be doing something right.

No prob, I just wish I got a better pics of it but everone kept piling up around it. I love that car, too.
My lease is up next spring and I was thinking about getting one, but I keep hearing rumers about a RWD version coming out in '05. I don't really mind the FWD if that's all that is available. But I don't want to get an '04 and then they bring back the RWD a year later.Same with the Impala, I wanted one last year, good thing I didn't get one cuz now they have the SS coming out. I would have been pissed! I hate when they do that. I will probably organize all my photos from that show on my site later when I have time. But for now, I posted those up there so you can see them. Also cuz I have no idea how to post them on here,

I don't know if the new SS Silverado is the same as what I've seen in showrooms , but the NEW 454 SS pickup truck from Chevy is one awesome truck - All new 7.4L V8, monster 20" rims, menacing front grill - now thats a truck! (looks like the SS Silverado pictured at top of thread, maybe they call it something different up here than in the States).

Nevermind, put a blower on the upcoming 3800 Impala just to give the Cops a break - ever since they started phasing out the old Caprice's and buying new Impala's and Crown Vic's there has been such a loss of respect for the Cops. They frequently call off persuits these days because so many suspects try to outrun the Cops. Why?? Cause they drive slow cars! Back in the day NOBODY used to run from the Cops because it was common knowledge that the Caprice cruisers had the "Cor-vette" engine in them - and with the Police upgrade those LT1's were putting out more horsepower than the ones in the Corvette's.
You have to admit that its absolutely stupid why GM never brought out the Monte Carlo SS without offering a GTP supercharger on it - or any other model where a 3800 was the engine.

Monte Carlo has an SS model, and a Supercharged SS model, with the L67 also.

my uncle works at gm in purchasing for the higher end parts and he says that 2005 monte carlo will be rwd and 300+ hp and he is normally right about that stuff. does anyone know the month the 2004 impalas will be out. Or if theres anything new about them beside there being a ss which i think is really cool. oh and for not being as cool as the 96 ss i bet it will be just as fast those big v8 engines didn't really have a lot of hp and they weighed 700lbs more.

However, don't let the factory horsepower rating on the previous RWD Impala SS (Caprice) fool you. Sure it was a heavy car, but the engine modifications for that V8 are endless. You throw in a forged 383 stroker kit and you now have a 6.3L, 450+ HP monster - READY to now be force fed by a supercharger if need be! Stock for stock though, a new supercharged Impala SS would beat the older RWD V8 Impala SS(Caprice).

Dario, the 04 Impala SS is due out this fall. And I've also heard rumors about a RWD 300+hp Monte Carlo, so this is looking to be a good car, as long as GM doesn't screw up the styling.

maybe their making cars ugly because their selling to many cars. i doubt it but it wouldn't be the first time that gm held to much of the market and had to make their cars less wantable because they didn't want the government going after them for owning to much of the market. and i think the impala ss looks awesome but i wish it would have 260hp like the new gtp and costed less.

If they stay FWD, I'm sure that the redesign will include the Series III V6. Even if they go RWD, We may see a Series III SC V6 as an option on a middle model, with a V8 in the performance model of course.
