My uncle is on his second Monte Carlo SS. Got the first one in 01 (I think) with less than 200 miles on it, traded it in 04 with a little under 140k miles on it for another SS. Car gave him no trouble, having driven it I would certainly say its a very nice car.

The catalytic convertor had some known issues, but GM will fix that as a recall.

i think bench racing is ghey

also, the monte carlo is american so it will lose. the accord is really tight and has a v6 which is better than the v4 in the other accords. you will win for shure dude. ok kewl. lol

the seriousness is that the V6 does make more power than the I4 (4cyl) of the other cars.

If 'quickness' is what you want, I'm sure there are many different cars that are quicker than the accord and the SS for your budget.

yeah we both just got our cars as something that is kinda quick, but mainly cuz of the nice interior. I just picked up my accord, and was just curious how it would run with him. Any ideas?

For what it's worth, the Accord has 195 ft/lbs and SS has 225 ft/lb. Both are FWD.

the honda engine is better but the trans has serious issues....if you beat on the car, the chevy may be a better choice becuase it is cheaper to fix. IT is worth less compared to the honda so when you sell it you won't get much for it

Chevy 9-12K

same year accord 10-14K

to dude that says the V6 is not that strong, go do some research and you will see that it is plenty strong compared to it's direct competition.... not everyone wants to drive a small compact car with that 220hp+ I4 that sounds like it's gonna fall apart any day now........what's really sad that that hond's has I4 naturally aspirated I4s put out more HP than MOST V6 cars (acrua, s2000, etc all have 200hp+ I4s) and manage to keep pace with other FI I4s not to mention 300HP 3.5L.......sweet

The Montie carlo is slightly heavier and needs 3.8L to make the same 200ponies that honda does....not to mention that it is noiser engine on top of that......

Me personally I like the accord. It's interior is very plain and everything is easy to reach.

It would be a close race, when both engines are new. As both engines get older, the Chevy will lose more power, and fall farther and farther back.

I would suspect that even at 100K miles both engines would be very close if not right on for their peak numbers.

Edit provided that they are properly maintained

Actually I think those stats are way off. If you check any other place like the coupe on that page or any stats on http://www.car-stats.com you will see it actually runs a 15.9 while the Monte runs a mid 16.

Now love my mullet!
