2002 Chevrolet Monte
Carlo
The strengths of today’s
2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo make it one of America’s
best-selling cars in the midsize coupe market and the
most successful NASCAR Winston Cup racer.
Buyers continue to recognize
Chevrolet Monte Carlo’s styling as a key reason
for purchase. The 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo’s
styling cues, such as the long sloping hood, short rear
deck, distinctive "C" pillars and athletic
stance, recall previous generations, yet the design
is unmistakably modern.
The aggressive profile
was also influenced by the need for aerodynamic efficiency
to achieve better fuel efficiency and for NASCAR’s
fast tracks. Such concerns led to the addition in ’02
of a front license plate filler cover as standard equipment.
A Sport Appearance package
Optionalion for the Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS includes
five-spoke sport aluminum wheels and rear spoiler. An
Optional High Sport Appearance package on the SS model
features specific ground effects, unique wheels, a race-inspired
decklid spoiler and stainless steel exhaust tips.
Chevrolet Monte Carlo’s
new exterior color choices are Medium Green Pearl, Bright
Red and Competitive Yellow.
Heart and soul of a champion
Chevrolet Monte Carlo
delivers an impressive vehicle structure, excellent
power and fun-to-drive performance.
Its chassis and body
architecture provide remarkable rigidity and stiffness.
A unique extruded aluminum engine cradle helps isolate
engine noise and vibration, and a magnesium cross-car
beam (MagBeam) spans the entire width of the instrument
panel, ensuring vibration-free mounting points for heating,
ventilation and audio systems.
Power is provided by
two proven engines: the 3400 V6 and the award winning
3800 V6. The 3400 V6 is standard on LS, and provides
the most standard horsepower and torque, at 180 hp and
205 lb-ft, among primary competition, along with unsurpassed
highway fuel economy (estimated 32 mpg). The 3800 V6
in the SS generates 200 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque.
Sporty ride and handling
are the result of a four-wheel independent suspension
with MacPherson struts at all corners. Specific to the
SS are larger stabilizer bars calibrated to allow more
spirited driving without giving up excellent ride quality,
and aggressive P225/60R16 Goodyear Eagle RSA tires.
