American Muscle

Actually Aussie Muscle to be exact.

A long…long time ago ago I had the honor of driving these special Monster Legends:

Chevy Lumina SS6.0 l V8 UTE Manual transmission

Chevy Lumina SS5.7 l V8 Automatic Transmission

For starters

I had the honor to have driven these brutes when they were new, just overall great fun and amazing street presence

They might not be the most well built or best cars around, but they are such a lot of fun to drive. That potent roar from the V8 makes your heart want to jump out of your chest, like when you are on a roller coaster.

You might say they aren’t the quickest out there, but that’s not the point, just the raw power delivery and raw naturally aspirated muscle does the trick

Interior

Interior quality on both isn’t the best, but who cares? The size of the monster engine makes up for it.

Tech

Who cares, it’s a V8

Practicality

The Sedan is relatively big, about the same as the Mazda 6; Honda Accord; VW Passat

Ride comfort and handling

The UTE is a beast because it weighs lower than the sedan variant, plant your right foot and you’ll go sideways in no time like a professional drifter, just don’t hit a tree. The sedan handles a bit better due to being a bit heavier.

The fuel consumption

This is a question you normally should not ask, as you should know the answer.

In short the fuel consumption is amazing, it’s just amazing how much fuel it uses…

These are really the most fun I have had to drive these forgotten legends I’ve ever driven.
