I have spent hours at my computer trying to find what I thought would be readily available information.
I have an unmodified '87 Olds Delta 88 Royale Brougham, I would like to know what its performance data is,ie 0-60 and 1/4 mile time, top speed, engine rpm at given speeds, that sort of thing.
Also can anyone point me to where I can find a road test of this or a similar Hbody car, maybe from Consumer Reports, Motor Trend or whatever?.

Thanks in anticipation.

Roger.

if you want 0-60 times take it to a track and run it they will tell you your reaction time 60 ft times ect ect you can just count your 0-60 i did my buick once and i think it was like 9-11 seconds or some crap

Thanks sse,
I have the technical data, the nearest strip is 150 miles away from me.
I'm looking for road test publications to see how it measures up against similar cars of its time.
It keeps up with British traffic effortlessly, although a lot of European/Japanese cars with much smaller engines over here would embarrass me on a drag strip.

Well the car was desighned to be an ''ole lady car'' its no performance car but will move no problem.One of my 90 lesabres i put a STB and wider tires on and it made it handle alot easier and also put shorter sway bar end links on it and it lost alot of its body roll and body flex..its basically going to be roughly the same as similar platformed cars

oh youd be surprised how well these boats will handle with new struts, a stb, some bigger sway bars, and wider tires. Im still on the stock sways and with the monroe struts It'* like a stiffened boat with all the feel youd want but not to much. still very smooth. I got 0-60 In about 9 seconds. Ive got the same engine as you just the newer version with 15 more horses. I personaly think w-bodys handle like crap compared to h-bodys. stock for stock.

I couldn't find a track time. I did find that Edmunds dumped all their Olds and Pontiac Reviews.....WTH!.

Thanks cutlassvert, that'* the kind of thing I'm looking for.

Thanks also you guys for your input on improving the handling, I'm happy with the stock suspension and ride, I like American cars for the luxury and effortless driving experience, which if you are careful comes a lot cheaper than running one of the equivalent European and Japanese models and even a old mans grocery getter like mine gets a second glance when I take it for a drive.
