Monte Carlo SS.....L36?
I thought the MC SS was a super charged animal?
Today was at the lot for parts and there was a 2004 Monte (sharp looking too) SS, talked with salesman and he grabbed the keys. First I went for was the hood and was suprised to see an L36?
I lost intrest and went for oil filters well Pmom hung out with the sales man, they fired it up but didnt go for a test drive.

The Supercharged SS is an option, but only for '04 and later, the '00-03'* were L36 only. The SS normally is an L36, but you can option it up to a blown one. The only way to tell the difference on the outside is look on the side of the car where it says Monte Carlo SS, and the Supercharged cars will say "Supercharged SS", and the N/A'* from '04+ will just say "SS", and the earlier ones say "Monte Carlo SS," except for the Dale Earnhardt Edition which says "Intimidator." I know its confusing, but hopefully that clears it up for you.
And, in case you were wonder, Supercharged SS'* run damn good, especially with all the factory weight savings they have...that aluminum engine cradle doesn't hurt thats for sure.

and lets not forget the 97-99 model Z34'* came with the L36. I believe these montes were quicker then the 00-03 SS'* with the same powerplant.
