1988 Oldsmobile 98 FE3 review from North America
"It's the best car in the world, get it you can"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The compression and fuel control module broke, but that was due to my own neglect. I also think that the alternator was a little too weak, but maybe that's because I had a 2 400W amps.
General comments?
I love that car more then anything. I think that it's the best car in the world. I had the FE3 sport edition and I use to drag race it on the street, beat pretty much everything I race against including a 1992 Mustang GT.
I had to get rid of it 3 months ago, and that was the hardest thing to do for me. Now I'm trying to find another FE3 and I can't. All I have is a couple of pics left. It was the best car in the world.
