Introduced in 1970 as a "personal" coupe, the Chevrolet Monte Carlo was smooth, powerful and comfortable. Its most desirable version was the top-of-the line SS with a big 454 CID V8 engine that made it a screamer. The 2000 Monte Carlo SS we test this week is much tamer, however, but it does follow in its forefather's tire prints. OUTSIDE - Although the Monte Carlo shares its platform with the new Chevrolet Impala, no exterior panels are the same. Its silhouette is sleek and smooth, with sweeping character lines that run the length of its sides and break just around the door handles. The grille is a small slit across the front end, and the uniquely-shaped headlights wrap around into the fenders. Improvements to the chassis include strut-tower braces under the hood, one-piece body stampings and a stiffening superstructure behind the dashboard. INSIDE - There is plenty of room for four inside and five are only slightly squeezed. The front bucket seats are wide and soft, but could use more lumbar support. Lateral support could also be better. The center armrest for the back seat has a pair of handy built-in cupholders and the climb into the rear area is simple because the large doors open wide. The instrument panel is like a cockpit, glowing at night with lots of lighting and lots of buttons that operate the radio and climate controls. The multi-function controls on the steering wheel are easy to use. The ride is quiet inside, thanks to strategic placement ofacoustic insulation, and the windows are sealed so well that very little wind noise enters the interior. Standard features include an AM/FM/cassette stereo, climate control, power windows, door locks and outside mirrors, tilt steering, rear window defogger, power trunk opener, fog lamps and remote keyless entry. ON THE ROAD - The Monte Carlo LS is powered by a 180-horse, 3.4 liter V6, while the SS model uses a 3.8 liter V6 with 200 horsepower. Its 225 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm are enough to propel the SS to 60 MPH in just eight seconds which makes entering a crowded highway easy, and passing big-rigs on two-lane roads less worrisome. The engine is very basic in its design, eschewing high-tech overhead camshafts and multiple valves for traditional pushrods that operate two valves per cylinder. It is shared with many GM cars and vans, but the engine that would be welcome under the hood of the Monte Carlo is the supercharged version of the same engine, whose 240 horsepower can be found powering some other corporate siblings. In building the Monte Carlo SS, the company accomplished its mission in offering a smooth, comfortable cruiser that is low in price, but very high on value. A four-speed automatic transmission is standard, as is traction control to reduce wheelspin on slippery surfaces. BEHIND THE WHEEL - The new car is built on a shared platform and it's apparent that all that extra chassis bracing has worked. Its wide track allows for more stable handling and very little body roll, while the die-cast magnesium beam that runs under the dash virtually eliminates steering column shake and vibration. The car uses strut-type independent suspension front and rear, with coil springs and an anti-roll bar to keep it stable in cornering. This year a new aluminum engine cradle provides a solid foundation for the powertrain, front suspension, steering and front sheetmetal. Also, Chevy engineers stiffened many major structural components to improve the ride and reduce noise and vibration. The brakes are better now, with four-wheel discs replacing the disc/drum setup of the last generation model. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is standard. SAFETY - Dual airbags, ABS, side-impact door beams, daytime running headlamps and a tire inflation monitoring system are all standard. OPTIONS - Leather upholstery: $625; Power sunroof: $700; CD player upgrade: $223; Preferred Equipment Group (heated mirrors, power driver's seat, auto-dimming mirrors, driver information center): $736; ALL THESE OPTIONS ARE ON THE VEHICLE! |

2015 Callaway Corvette Z06 gets new supercharger, adds $17K to starting price
Tue, Apr 21 2015Callaway's proud tradition of modifying Chevrolets is about to add a very significant chapter this weekend, as the company prepares to unveil a modified version of the 2015 Corvette Z06. The engine mods are simple, though we expect them to be very potent. That's because Chevy has replaced the factory supercharger with a new "GenThree" unit that's nearly a third larger than what's bolted on in Bowling Green. A new intercooler is also added, along with a new high-flow intake system. Beyond that, the changes are exclusively of the subtle cosmetic variety. There's new badging inside and out, as well as new engine covers, floormats and an underhood plaque. Naturally, there's documentation to verify the Callaway Z06's authenticity, and the comfort that comes with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty. Callaway has priced the upgrade package at $16,995, in addition to the price of the stock Z06. While we're still waiting to hear official power figures, that seems like a reasonable asking price for what were wagering will be a major increase in power. The Callaway Z06 will debut this weekend at the National Corvette Museum's C7 Bash in Bowling Green, KY. Expect more details following the debut. Scroll down for the official press release. Related Video: 2015 Callaway Corvette Z06 to Debut at National Corvette Museum The 2015 Callaway Corvette Z06 will debut at the National Corvette Museum C7 Bash in Bowling Green, Kentucky, April 23 through April 25. Here's a sneak peek at the new package. Based on Chevrolet's track-proven Z06, Callaway engineers' no-compromise approach takes this Corvette to an astounding power level. While advertised Callaway horsepower and torque are pending final validation, the Callaway package adds Callaway's new GenThree supercharger system with 32% more displacement than the stock Z06 supercharger, improved manifold design and unique triple-element intercooling system. Callaway engineers recognize that a key contributor to maximizing power is reduction of inlet air temperature. By exposing the supercharger's large plenum area to outside ambient airflow, the design takes advantage of the significant charge air temperature reduction provided by convective cooling. The completely redesigned intercooling system also helps maintain nearly ambient charge air temperature with exceptionally low air restriction.
24 Hours of Le Mans live update part one
Sat, Jun 18 2016We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice with a profanity-laden stream-of-consciousness writing style. Parker lives in Hawaii and spends far more time spearfishing than behind the wheel of a car. Jump ahead to Part Two here, and Part Three here. Big Money and billionaire hobbyists and rockets on wheels. Jets belching French color smoke overhead. Balance of power fuckery. Plenty of water on the ground this morning. Absurdly expensive motorcars lined up in the pissing rain. Fast twitch lunatics behind the wheel. Chomping at the bit. Let's go let's go let's go! Race hasn't even started, Ford #67 maybe dealing with clutch issues. Karma? That beautiful bastard Brad Pitt's out on the track, waving the tricolor flag. It's a standing start in "Noah's Ark" weather and the 2016 24 hours of Le Mans is go! First lap takes place behind the safety car, finished in a record setting 8 minutes 27 seconds. Wrong kind of record maybe, but this is the first time I've set my mind to watching the whole damn race. Feel like I'm part of history. 3:00 AM on Kauai, a little too early for life. Sucking down coffee like a maniac. Don't fall back asleep. Got my hands on four hours of rest, how much more can I need? Better be enough for the next twenty four hours. Gonna get kinda punchy toward the end. Jason Statham on the scene. Four feet of solid muscle, non-existent hairline. Lovely wife peanut gallery sitting next to me calls him the "best race car drive in the world." Not sure if she's serious. Toss up, could go either way. Statham's a funny guy. Heir to the Bruce Willis comedy action crown. Really good in the movie where the fat comedy lady plays a spy. Ford's on the road. Problems with gearbox pressure, apparently. Nearing a half hour in and the safety car is still on the track. Hellish amounts of water on the ground, in the air. Visibility is garbage. Getting better. Twitter wags, "Not with a bang but a whimper." Just building suspense. Mother Nature felt like killing some people today, race officials need to dial back the drivers until it dries a tad. Normal inclination would've seen 'em flying, guaranteed early lap wrecks. Sad news for that bloodthirsty part of my lizard brain I try and keep suppressed. Good news for humanity. #12 in the pit for a bit.
