Weight of 1985 delta 88

olds307owner · October 8th, 2007, 12:37 AM

Hi everyone, I was seing the quarter mile time calculators on the internet but they require the weight of the car on one of the fields. Does anyone know how much a 1985 delta 88 royal brougham would weigh?

Curb weight of the 4 door is about 3900 and the coupe is 3600, but my copue tips the scales at 3990 with the 307 and 4050 with the 350 both weights are based on 1/4 tank of gas

I have exact weights from the dyno a couple yrs ago I'll dig em up. I have a 4 door and 2 door that were both weighed.

Ok. A 4 door Royale weighs in at 3633
and a 2 door weighs in at 3654
I am 160 Lbs. and both cars were on E
(pint of denatured alcohol, 4 bottles of IsoHEET, and 2 gallons of premium.)

Yeah they finally gave up this year in Chicago. Now pretty much anything that they can't plug into... they don't test.

92 and older exempt now I am sure of.

With the 307 mine ran a very impressive

20.60 @ 64.16 miles per hour

well, 20.60 aint as bad as I expected (still aint much) but with a little work it should be easy to pull it into the 14's or 15's
