15 Muscle Cars That Sounded Better Than They Actually Drove

9. 1982 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS

The 1982 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS had the rumble of a muscle car, but its G-body platform and moderate power meant it was more show than go, especially in its early 1980s form. The SS model was introduced in 1983, featuring a high-output 305 V8 engine, but the 1982 model lacked this performance upgrade. As a result, the 1982 Monte Carlo SS’s auditory appeal surpassed its actual performance capabilities. (hotcars.com)
