2006/2007 Monte Carlo SS Future Classic?
Posted by chevyss in Future Classics on June 18th, 2009
2006/2007 Monte Carlo SS
The Chevrolet Monte Carlo was first introduced in 1970 to compete with the Ford Thunderbird and has gone through six generations since its humble beginnings.
I want to talk about the sixth generation Monte Carlo SS, no, not the weak 2000 to 2005 grocery getter but the sportier more defined 2006/2007 models which brought back some of the style and flare from the older Monte Carlos but separated itself from the pack with a distinct front-end look, NASCAR-style spoilers and Corvette-inspired exhaust outlets.
303 Horsepower – The highest it’s been in a long time!
The Monte Carlo SS are equipped with a V-8, 5.3-liter small-block that produces 303 horsepower and 323 pounds of torque; the highest it’s been in a real-real long time. It also utilizes a “displacement on demand” function that shuts down select cylinders when not needed to save fuel. The 63 horse power increase from the 2005 SS model (which was a V6) raised some eyebrows considering it was being placed on a front wheel drive car, the first front wheel drive SS in the Chevy lineup.
The Monte Carlo SS comes with the FE4 suspension, which is tuned to provide a sporty ride that complements the 5.3L small-block V-8’s performance. It offers increased stiffness and ride control, with reduced body lean and greater high-speed stability. Eighteen-inch alloy wheels with 235/50 R18 Goodyear Eagle performance tires compliment the package.
2007 was the last year of the Monte Carlo SS and while it was speculated that General Motors was considering a rear wheel drive replacement for the Monte Carlo we now know the 2010 Chevy Camaro will fill the sports coupe void that was left behind in 2007.
Do you consider the 2006/2007 Monte Carlo SS a future classic? Better yet do you consider any Monte Carlo a classic/future classic? Leave us your feedback.
Loading ...GM’s Dropping Four Bands to Cut Cost!
GMC
In a cost cutting measure after filing for bankruptcy earlier this month, GM is cutting some of its brands including, Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer, and Saab. GM has also ditched Oldsmobile and Plymouth a couple of years back.
GM controlled 16 brands right through the 1990s and this included… Buick, Cadillac and Chevrolet in the US and key brands like Saab in Sweden, Subaru in Japan, Opel in Germany and Holden in Australia.
However, growing competition at the turn of the century saw GM’s more than 50 per cent marketshare in the US start to slowly whittle away, dropping to 17 per cent last year.
So out of the brands that where killed off in the last 20 years which would you think will be the most collectible?
