Each episode pulls an original/restored muscle car out of a garage and treats it to a proper full-fledged review.
Each episode focuses on one vehicle, popping the hood, scoping the trunk, crawling underneath, and most importantly, driving them, to see just how good (or not so good) they really are.
This guidebook series shows you how these cars should look and drive, so you can make an informed decision when looking to purchase an original or restored example.
Vehicles reviewed include
a 1962 Pontiac Catalina 421 SD,
a 1970 Ford Torino 429 Cobra Jet,
a 1978 Pontiac WS6 Trans Am W72 performance pack,
and a 1963 Studebaker Avanti R2.
Tested: Muscle reviews some unique vehicles and probably not the muscle car you're looking to buy, nor can afford.
It is essentially a new car review for those in the market for these specific cars, which are all-stock classics, to inform the viewer how they should look, feel, and sound.
I predict this will air ball / whiff without hitting the target/hoal, as they are not testing the logical cars that the majority of buyers are buying.
Mustangs with 289s, Road Runners with 383s, Chevelles with 350s, Camaros, Chargers, Challengers, etc. If there was a car I'd guess no one is buying to drive, its an Avanti, the next guess is a Catalina SD.
You are exactly correct.
ReplyDeletethey are just testing the cars they have easy access to ,or cars they personally like. "normal" cars the normal people bought and still buy, like the mustang 289 etc, mysteriously are not on the list.
the Torino is a normal car, but not the 429 model, virtually all of the Torino's got 302s or 351s , testing the 429 is fine, but the normal ones should be tested too.
yes. The ones they can access... but that is pointless when they advertise the videos as car reviews for cars we might buy... if instead, they were simply honest, and came across with the truth " we are going to review cool cars we can get people and museums to loan us, that are very stock" then fine. I got nothing to complain about. That would be a useless set of videos, but not really a thing I care about, there are billions of videos.
DeleteBut this baloney about reviewing cars that other people can then refer to when buying a similar model? Who the hell is looking to buy a damn Avanti? And a supercharged one at that? Not many of those were made, or exist anymore.
Just trying to get in on you tube traffic I suspect, but not with something that will rate with viewers, like the Hagerty Barn Find series
