1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Rare in Chevrolet sales literature were performance figures, but for 1985 Chevrolet published the following specifications for the Monte Carlo SS: 0-50 mph in 6.0 seconds, 0-60 mph in 8.4 seconds, standing 1/4 mile, 16.1 seconds, lateral acceleration of 82 g. For the base Monte Carlo, a new engine, the 4.3-liter V-6 with throttle body fuel injection, was standard. Optional was the 5.0L V8. Also available was a new 4-speed automatic transmission in which 4th gear was a .70:1 overdrive. The basic body and interior design for both the base and SS Monte Carlo remained the same as the previous year.
