And was suprised at the difference between it and my parents' 92 Olds 88.
Happier to rev, happier to downshift, and quite a bit quicker. In the same distance it takes my parents' to hit 60, this hit 65. I'm not sure if it'* the mileage difference (140000 vs 250000) or the year changes, but I was suprised at it'* upper RPM pull. It'* no SSEi, but it got the job done.

Ahh yes....that'* why I love the no-frills SEs!!

It'* most likely how the shift controller for the trans is calibrated from the factory for the SE'*. I feel the same way in my 92.

Those Olds have not so hot gearing usually. Much more granny geared then the average SE.

see there, you dont need one of those fancy schmancy superchargers to find happiness

I drove Fantastic88'* N/A olds, and it ran great and sounded great, but it was held back, and I believe it to the be the 2.84.
