Default New Car

Hey ya'll...i crashed my car and totalled it bout 2 months ago, and i recently got the opportunity to buy a 2000 Monte Carlo SS for really cheap. So i might buy it, if not then i'm a get me a 96 Mustang Cobra. Anyhow, i hope someone can answer this but my question was is there a Supercharger or Turbocharger available for the monte carlo?

Hope you guys don't get mad but i couldn't find a chevy msg board...

Thanks for the info

Cool

Sorry to hear bout your car bro

AS far as which car to get a Cobra or a Monte Carlo SS,my vote is for the Cobra hands down,much better car and better resale value as well.

No supercharger or turbos r available for the Monte carlo that I've seen.

I've driven the new Monte Carlos' and I don't like them at all. Not that great of a ride and horrible vision around you!

I would go with the Cobra, you can never go wrong with a Cobra!

You cant go wrong with a cobra. Its faster, nicer and a much cooler over all car.

Do you really need to ask?!?! GET THE COBRA!!!!!! I hate the way the new Monte Carlos look. Chevy took their best lookin car, and screwed it up BIG TIME. Plus if my memory serves me correctly there isn't much of a power gain with the SS on the 2000 Monte Carlos.

They do make a Supercharger for the Monte Carlo for asmuch as I know... It's the 3800 Series II engine in the Monte Carlo and I know for sure GM makes supercharger for it, I'm not sure about aftermarket but I'm sure they do too... The 3800 Series II engine is fairly popular so I wouldn't doubt it.... I guess this is what you get for having GM friends. lol I don't mind the Monte Carlo at all, a buddy of mines dad has one and it's pretty nice inside, it's more of a family car then a race car to say.... I don't like the idea of FWD either. I'd say go for the Cobra, but it's up to you....
