28 economist sunstouffvitte tribune thursday nov 18 1999 c advertising feature r best way to view a 2000 monte carlo is from behind heart and stroke foundation of ontario v from page 24 panned the new monte carlos love-it- orleaveit styling but the only reaction i ever got was praise from heads cran ing and smiling to passerbys waving thumbs up to onlookers who approached and pressed noses against glass asking when and how much the only critique one young guy who fairly drooled over the monte carlo could make was that man those tailpipes should be bigger and chrome and the last thing people see when you blow past them blow past them well the glory days of giant v8s may be fading like a wisp of tire smoke but you can still squeal the wheels of this bad boy with a very enthusiastic 38 l series ii v6 that harnesses 200 hp at 5200 rpm and makes 225 lbft of torque at 4000 rpm is it possible that the ss will maybe someday boast the supercharged 38l or even perhaps av8 one can only hope overall performance is however bolstered by a sport suspension pi rated tires and the dual exhaust sys tem inside the monte carlo ss is roomy in front and back with that big ail- american coupe feel those

sure make for easy entry and exit and ah ifs back to the 70s when you gaze out over the sweeping expanse of dashboard through the fairly flat windshield and across the long flat hood other heritage cues include a cluster of four small dials for fuel oil volts and water mount ed to the left of speedo and tach gauges as well as a return to a dashmounted ignition and headlight pullswitch the way gm and god always intended it should be dual climate zones cd player overhead console- driver info display and steering wheelmounted audiocruise controls add modern conveniences to this mixed then-and- hbw package a little of the 70s musclecar moxy even showed up in the performance and handling department i must con fess i never got really comfortable in the monte carlo ss steering is quick almost gokartish and surprisingly direct for a car of this size grabby four- wheel disc brakes utilize the largest rotors and calipers in the segment the gas pedal feels uncertain and too light ly sprung resulting in hairtrigger acceleration all these elements combine for an edgy performance feel that makes the monte carlo respond like a high strung thoroughbred after a while you adapt and find those qualities make the monte carlo ss as quick and maneu- yerable as coupes half its size regardless of how its qualities weigh in the balance some wonder why did gm bring the monte carlo ss back probably for the same reasons that have resurrected it time and time again the closest analogy i can come up- with is ice cream everybody likes ice cream but not everyone likes the same flavor the 2000 monte carlo ss coupe may be just a blast from the past spiced with a new modem flavor but its prob ably an automotive flavor that fans of big american coupes and monte carlo loyalists will enjoy especially
