2004 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo SS Photos

With four decades of Super Sport heritage under its belt, Chevrolet is bringing performance and design back to its lineup with a new Impala SS and Monte Carlo Supercharged SS. Both cars boast a 240-horsepower 3800 Series II V-6 engine with 90-cubic-inch supercharger, sport-tuned suspension, and high-performance wheels and tires. Chevy promises the Impala SS will remain true to its legacy as a fun-to-drive midsize sport sedan that provides performance for enthusiasts with room for five, plenty of cargo space, and plenty of amenities.

The Monte Carlo Supercharged SS benefits from MacPherson struts at all four corners, variable-rate power rack-and-pinion steering, electronic traction control, and large-diameter four-wheel disc power-assisted braking with ABS. The Supercharged SS also features a race-inspired spoiler, bright stainless steel dual exhaust tips, fog lamps, a six-gauge cluster including boost gauge, and "Supercharged SS" exterior and interior badging. Both SS models go on sale this summer.
