1977 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale 403 from North America
Summary:
Great car!!!
Faults:
My grandmother gave my Oldsmobile Delta 88 to me when I was 15. That has to be the best car I ever owned. It had the 403 CID engine that would beat Z28s from light to light. Time from 0-60mph was 6.4 seconds.
My Delta was red on red on red and came with rare Olds rims. I trusted that car to take me anywhere, and I regret to this day trading it. I'm constantly trying to find another one.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

They'll never make another one; in fact they'll never make anything like it.
It is truly sad what's become of this country.

"Time from 0-60mph was 6.4 seconds."
- First let me tell you that I am one of the biggest Olds fans on the net. But this is asking too much to believe. The only way that car could do that 0-60 time is if it were dropped out of a B-52!

Though these were awesome cars, they were not that incredibly quick from 0-60. the New Mustang V8 has 315 HP and 320 Lbs of torque, and can only do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds.
0-60 in 8 or 9 seconds is more reasonable. The 403 V8 had a lot of torque, but only put out about 190 HP. It was chocked with tiny intake ports, low compression ratio, and a mediocre 4 barrel carburetor.
