well a few months back when i was at a light i had a new monte carlo SS pull up beside me and i wanted to get infront of him becaus it went to a one lane road ahead... well he wanted infront of me so it was pretty much a race. now when i left the light i left a little faster than normal but i didnt launch or anything and then i heard him nail it at which point i did too. at this point i was pulling every so slightly on him but not enough to matterabout 200feet after the light is a left hand bend and after that it goes to 1 lane. through this whole thing we were side by side(i was on the outside lane) and i had to let off so i could get behind him... are the SeriesII SC cars THAT SLOW??? i mean i knew they werent rockets but jeez my stock 86 v6 auto stayed right beside them....

Depending on the year of the Monte, the SC 3800 was an option. A lot of SS Monte's had the 3800 N/A engine and about another 1100lbs more than you.

Just to confuse people, I think they have the Monte Carlo, Monte Carlo SS, and Monte Carlo SS Supercharged. I think the SS is otherwise N/A.

Even so, I got my ass kicked by a 3800 SII N/A Grand Prix once - I jumped him like hell for 100 some feet in a launch off the line in the rain, but he caught up to me and went by me - this is in my 87'GT 5 speed. Just wait till I find him AFTER my engine swap, heh,heh,heh...

im betting it was a N/a Then because it only had one tip... and even my moms SeriesIII Powered NA 3800 has dual exhaust...

I believe that every Monte Carlo SS in history has had 2 exhaust tips. Either you missed the other one, or it was an LS, or someone put SS badges on a non-SS.

It also depends how maney people were in the car.

Single tip exhaust also means 3400 motor, not 3800.

the only supercharged SS's were the series III, which would be 04' or newer, the earlier years were not supercharged

quote Originally posted by $Rich$: the only supercharged SS's were the series III, which would be 04' or newer, the earlier years were not supercharged

The Grand Prix is the only car with the Series III and Series III supercharged. The SS Supercharged is still a Series II.

OK, but supercharged wasnt offered untill 04 in an ss

blue shift... gtps arent a race for the fiero 3.4 DOHC swappers. Dont worry

it was a 3800 then.... there was NO WAY it was a 3400

You woulda blown the doors off em if it was a 3400... 30 more Hp but 1000 more lbs.

yeah my mom had a 01 GrandAm with a 3400 in it and it was slightly quicker than my car but if a Montecarlo had it it would have been SLOOOOOOOOOOOWWW

but i can beat a Superchared Xterra

Thug,
There are no non-SS 3800 powered Monte Carlos. If it only had one exhaust tip, it was a 3400. Sorry to burst your bubble. And yes, 3400 monte carlos are slow. Any 2.8 fiero will beat them, especially off the line. I would say that a correctly running 2.8 auto would be a little faster than a monte 3400, but my mother's 2001 3800 N/A SS can beat my 88 GT 5-speed, and my car runs flawlessly.

automatic 2.8 fiero = slow
I had a vibe give me a run for my money yesterday in my daily driver 2.8auto (a modded vibe, but still insulting )

can't wait till i have my manual 3.4tdc on the road

I think a freaking 3400 Aztek walked away from me once... but I was driving my duke/auto silver car... still humiliating though to get blown out by an Aztek...

[edit]: Maybe I'll have 3.4 liters as well next time, only better...

I was in a hurry on the interstate last summer and one of those pace car graphics Monte Carlos was following me. I kept going a little faster and faster and he stayed on my rear untill about 130-140, then I pulled away.

I was at an auto show in SF a couple of months ago...the 05 Monte Carlo SS still has the Series II SC, not the newer one.

I have an 88 formula with a 5 speed. A friend has an 2001 or 2002 Monte SS and it was 3800 auto red. I pulled away from him by a car. We were seeing how well the car ran. He was shocked to see me pull on him.
