Seller's Comments

The 2006 Monte Carlo SS is one of the most unusual American performance cars ever built, and that is meant as a compliment. This was the first time General Motors had ever put a Generation IV small-block V8 into a front-wheel-drive car, and it marked the return of V8 power to the SS trim after a 30-year absence. Chevrolet built the SS around NASCAR inspiration, gave it a large, angular two-door body, and dropped a proper V8 under the hood to back up the badges. The Monte Carlo name disappeared entirely after 2007, making this one of the last two years of a nameplate that had been part of Chevrolet's lineup since 1970. This example has been built considerably beyond stock, finished in black and red with a blacked-out hood, bumper, and rear deck lid, and an aftermarket spoiler kit that gives it an aggressive presence that backs up what is happening under the hood. Under the hood the 5.3 liter Vortec V8 has been turbocharged and tuned by HP Tuners to a setup capable of 800 horsepower. Methanol injection has been integrated through the washer fluid pump and tank, and the car sits on coilovers that keep it planted and controlled under hard use. A boost gauge and oil pressure gauge by Bosch give you a real-time read on everything happening under load. This is not a car that was built to look fast. It was built to be fast, and the numbers support that. Inside, the grey cloth interior is clean and functional. A Pioneer touchscreen and audio system, sunroof, and leather-wrapped steering wheel round out a cabin that is comfortable and well equipped for a car built with this level of performance in mind. The front-wheel-drive V8 combination is not conventional, and that is exactly what makes these cars interesting. The Monte Carlo SS occupies a strange and specific corner of American automotive history, a big two-door coupe with a NASCAR nameplate, a genuine V8, and a platform nobody else was brave enough to try. This one has been built to a level that makes the unconventional setup genuinely compelling. Please call or email us today for more information.
