what mods do you have done to your car?

It all depends on what you consider fast...I think my car is fast(not an SS though), but some would call it slow. Plus, there will always be faster.

If people are calling fast 9-10 seconds...then yeah, I dunno a monte running those numbers. What cars do they consider fast?

Monte SS supercharged? Do these weigh more than GTP's because the L67/L32 powerplant can definately be built to keep up with some heavy hitting v8's. throw a turbo into the mix and you can keep up with heavily moded V8's

The weight of my Monte is 3522 lbs. in full street trim. My goal is to get into the 12's with close to 400 WHP.

Fast is a relative term. What is fast to some is pretty slow to others. In full street trim, without spending a ****ton of money, it will be difficult to get out of the 12's.

Cool 12's is Fast

Thanx alot Guys, im going to achieve 12's someday but right now I have more time and car payments than money, but with the help of everyone on here I promise to rep the GM V6 experience soon hopefully. Right now I have a FWI, Autolite 104's with 3" DP on the way with U-Bend Delete. I also will be ordering a Intense PCM with a 3.4 press on pulley (Not a MPS because too temping to switch to 3.0 or worse to see what will happen). Do you all think i'll see a big increase in power or should I not get my hopes up?
