Delta-88 Front Three Quarter.jpg (169057 bytes) The paint job is holding up well for a ten-year-old car with over 100,000 miles.  The left-front fender was replaced in 1995 due to a fender-bender, along with the front bumper, lights, and grill.  No hood or engine damage resulted, however.  Strictly "tin damage".
Delta-88 Front.jpg (181061 bytes) The paint on the aftermarket bumper is peeling and needs to be re-done.  I also noticed that in extreme heat the plastic covering on the bumper tends to ripple.  The OEM bumper didn't do this.  I was told that all GM parts were used in the repair, but who knows?
Delta-88_Rear_Three_Quarter.jpg (161914 bytes) The tires were replaced in December of 1999 for the second time.  Original Eagle GT+4s did not last 30,000 miles.  Great performance tire, but horrible in the wear department.  Firestone SS10s were much better and lasted another 70,000.  They were replaced with slightly wider Michelin XGT H4 Pilots (225/60/15) in place of the 215/65/15s.
Delta-88 Interior 01.jpg (173164 bytes) Ten-year-old interior.  Still neat and clean.  No food or drink allowed, except for mine.  Since the car is a little older now, I am relaxing this rule.  But no cotton candy or anything sticky.  Crumbs I can deal with.
Delta-88 Engine Compartment.jpg (185347 bytes) The 3800 V-6.  165 hp, 220 lb-ft of torque.  As reliable as a refrigerator, as long as you take care of it and feed it right.  I can't seem to get the coolant reservoir clean, so I am going to replace it.  Only $9.00 for a new one.  This engine makes pretty good power and torque, but a supercharger would give it even more.  Handling with the FE3 suspension package is very good for a medium-weight car.
