Default 2006 Monte Carlo SS

Since everyone else was putting up pics, I thought I would show the ride.

The color seems to be a little rare. I tend to see alot of red ones.

I cant wait to get headers. I already love the sound of the cat-back. I get a lot of compliments on it.


The pics are after I dropped it with SSC springs.
Last one is when I first got it.

The purply one with silver trim is nice. I think it's called black amethyst.

Good looking MCSS! I'm just waiting for the new owner of my 2006 MCSS to show up on the board here! I'd love to see it again, she is missed. So if anyone has bought a '06 white and silver MCSS from VW of Mt. Prospect IL in the last 10 months or so, speak up.

Thanks, I love the color too. I get a lot of older car guys that tell me its a sharp color.

I met you before on diaodlosports forum. My name on there in Jimlahey35.
You were gonna help me with a tune, but I never did it.
I couldn't wait for tranny support any more, so I recently ordered a HP Tuner.

I have the exact same car. Lazer Blue seems to make people love the car. I'm putting the headers on it next month.
Nice car but it eats tires.

These cars will eat tires...but if you get a good balance/alignment and then rotate them every 5000 on the dot you should be good to go.
