A staid sedan stuffed with 6.3 liters of fuel-injected V8 making 247 hp. It was a German muscle sedan decades before they became common — AMG before AMG.
The new high-compression, overhead-valve, 303-cubic-inch Rocket V8 made up to 165 hp when the best Ford only made 100. The 88 was prototype for the next 25 years of American performance.
