This is the best car ever made!! While not the fastest car of the 80's (I've been smoked by many a GN), it is definitely the best looking. The first year I had it, it had a few minor problems. But it's been problem free since the end of summer '99!
If you want a real head turning car, this is it. I have people come up to me at gas stations, etc, asking to buy the car at least once a week!
The power is decent when stock. But to really get them moving, take off all pollution controls, and add a shift kit to the tranny. This so called "tank" has beaten lots of 5.0s (5.slows) that have the same engine, but half the weight of an MCSS!
I highly recommend these cars to anyone!
It is not exactly true that the Monte Carlo ss is faster than the Mustang 5.0, and the Mustang weighs the same as the Monte, not half as much. And it desn't have the same engine, the Mustang has a 5.0 liter (302 cu.in.) roller cam fuel injected Ford engine while the Monte of the same year has a 5.0 liter (305 cu.in) small block Chevy engine. the actual stock 1/4 mile elapsed times for the 88 Mustang gt and the monte carlo ss are 15.2 for the mustang and 15.5 for the Monte Carlo, so they are pretty evenly matched, so calling a mustang a 5.slow is rather self deprecatory to you and your car, with that said, I like both cars for their power and styling.
