2002 Chevy Monte Carlo SS Dale Earnhardt Special Edition. It has every option. It is a great running car. I took the superchager off and put a turbocharger on it. It runs 12.5 in the quarter. It will spank a Mustang for all you Chevy guys.

BULLSH!TThe owner is correct in the fact it is the 2002. You can see that from the trim package BUT it did not have a supercharger on it. Only 04/05 had them. You can clearly see the standard intake manifold for the 3800 NA engine in the picture above. Turbo's use the SuperCharger housing as the Plenum.BUSTED!!!!

That's what I thought 'cause mine's not supercharged. Was beginning to think I was missing something.

When I first read this I was wondering what was going on, Cuz I thought for sure there was no stock Supercharger in 02 (which I don't know why it took them so long, considering the history with Pontiacs).
Anyway I was thinkin just a turbo dropped it to 12.5 in the quarter, where do i find one of these turbos?...lol

I know that for years up until Pontiac changed to the "G series", GM marketed Pontiac as their sporty line of vehicles.
I suspect GM didn't put the supercharger into the Monte's until '04 because they wanted the performace minded people to buy the Grand Prix. When sales of the Monte went down, they put the s/c in to boost sales.
