I own a 2006 Chevy SS Monte Carlo with DOD (Displacement On Demand) I am very satisfied with the performance and the gas milage.

I own a 06 SS Monte Carlo and have already tamed a few Mustang GT's. The horsepower is great and the fuel economy isn't bad either, I average 20 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, no I' m not joking, if you drive conservatively this kind of gas milage is acheivable.

Completely frustrated with my 06 Super Sport. It has 40k on it and at 15k the power steering went out, front bumper had to be repainted and now at 40k my power steering is on the # *% list once again. 4 thousand miles out of warranty and I can not believe from what I have read on here that GM has not issued a recall on these vehicles. I went to their website to research recalls and the corvettes and silverados all have recalls on the steering issues. Has anyone else had a repeat of the steering going out? PLEASE REPLY!!!!!! Common sense tells me that a ma jority of these vehicles have all the same componenets as far as PAINT, POWER STEERING HOSES, PUMPS, STEREOS................. With the history I am really hoping that GM fixes my car at no expense to me because my husband wants a Vette!!!

Curious to know how you like your car, I have had a few problems with mine. Steering issues and paint replacement and the tire monitor system sucks.

I bought an ' 06 new. So far, so good. Your question about the rally stripes may have been answered for you already. The ' 06 did'nt have that option available, but the ' 07 did. Your car, although, may have had that update added as I've been thinking about doing the same to my SS. A dealership bodyshop would be able to tell if it's a GM update. Hope that helps.

My ' 06 Monte SS currently has 11,000 miles on it and I've had the sensor for one of the wheels for the tire monitoring system replaced under warranty and even though it didn't fail, the power steering hose replaced on a recall by GM stating it could fail in a colder climate. ( I live in Minnesota.) Otherwise, no problems. My brother bought a new ' 05 Silverado and both the heads were found to be warped less than 2000 miles out of warranty. Expensive fix needless to say. GM refused to back him on repair costs. He won't by another Chevy because of it. Hope you had better luck with GM fixing your steering pump.
