i've got a brother-in-law that has an 03 (i believe) monte carlo ss. it's a nice car by all means, but he is determined that just because it has "SS" stamped on the side that it's a race car. he claims it's supercharged, but it's not, i've seen the engine bay. it's a stock 3.8. not a bad motor, my mom has a bonneville with the same motor in it, and it runs pretty good. but not good enough to keep up with the LSx motors by a long shot. also claims he can keep up with a corvette  . and he thinks he can outrun my trailblazer ss. anyways, he's so confident he can outrun my SS we've got a friendly little wager on it ($100), i'm just waiting on him to get ready. i wish he had the new 06+ SS with the 5.3 in it, that would be a good race.
on a side note, mother-in-law is looking at new cars. i'm pushing her toward the new monte ss, grand prix GXP, or bonne GXP

my friend has a silverado with a 5.3 and i know the supercharged 3.8 will take it, but the regular 3.8 i dont think so, maybe, it'll be close, very close
we have a guy up here in woodstock that is the same way, he thinks that since his car says ss on it it means supercharged, he's also stickered it like the jr car, but waaaay more stickers(too many in my opinion (its silver) and he keeps saying its the jr edition and that its supercharged, but he doesn't have a boost guage in his car, so i dont think its supercharged and he wont let anybody see the engine because "its dirty" boo hoo** he even recently put a supercharged logo on it, that wasn't on it before
