Olds F-85 Cutlass 442 Road Test

Transcription

FEBRUARY 2007
From Motor Trend, September 1964
FOUR-FOUR-TWO stands for four on the floor, four-barrel carb, and dual
exhausts. The factory engineered all this for police pursuit work, but the 442 is
now available to the public at large. Our test car also had heavy-duty suspension
and 20 extra horses...
In their efforts to please most people most of the time, Oldsmobile Division has a
1964 & 3/4 offering for drivers who want just a bit more performance and
handling. It's designated by the numbers 442 but, on the official price sticker, it's
called Option Number B-09 Police Apprehender Pursuit. This car costs an extra
$285.14 over the regular, everyday F-85 Cutlass.
Olds engineers haven't restricted the performance package to the engine alone.
The price quoted above includes heavy-duty front and rear springs and shocks, a
sturdier anti-roll bar up front, one in the rear as well, plus 7.50 x 14 inch Red-Line
tires. These items bring the car's usually soft springing up to a nice, firm
combination that gives a solid feeling of control and handling, with no loss in
riding comfort.

Oldsmobile Club of Arizona – February 2007

Continued from Page 1
The big under-hood change lies in a wilder camshaft, some valving modifications, and the use of extra-quality, precision
main bearings and rods to withstand the higher revs this engine's bound to get. Although there's only a 20-hp increase
and the torque output of 355 pounds-feet is identical with the top standard Cutlass (290-hp), the 442 feels and is much
stronger than you'd expect from a mere 20-hp increase. A heavy-duty clutch and 3.36 rear axle are also part of the 442
package. But as sometimes happens, someone missed the rear-axle boat. Our instruments told us our 442 had a 3.55
differential. As for our specification table, we list the 3.55 as standard, not the 3.36.
The characteristic that impressed us most about the 442 was its extremely wide performance range. Even with the
wilder cam, it'd idle smoothly and quietly in traffic, then pull from as low as 15 mph in fourth without bucking or stalling.
It isn't a car for the ladies in our audience, the stiffer clutch, non-power brakes, and stiff four-speed transmission
restrict it to the man with muscle. But he'll certainly enjoy himself behind the wheel.
The 442 would come alive and roar when given its head on the track. No limited-slip rear axle was fitted to our test car.
It would've improved performance and driving pleasure considerably. Nevertheless, straightaway acceleration was
impressive. Zero to 30, 45, and 60 mph took only 3.1, 5.1, and 7.5 seconds respectively, while the measured quartermile stopped our watches at 15.5 seconds. The fifth-wheel speedometer showed a true 90 mph as we crossed the end
of the strip.
And flat-out acceleration wasn't the only impressive part of the 442's added horsepower. Highway passing times and
distances (from 40-60 mph and 50-70 mph) were equally outstanding. The ability of a car to pass other vehicles quickly
while spending a minimum of time on the wrong side of a two-lane road is a definite safety factor. Needless to say, the
442 moved out with authority in any gear and, when pushed hard, was in the left lane a bare minimum of time.
The engine's wide torque range, plus the optional 3.55 axle, are a good match. The times quoted for highway passing
were outstanding, but we made them in second gear. Leaving the car in fourth, it still accelerated from 40 to 60 mph in
6.9 seconds and from 50 to 70 mph in 6.5 seconds. Only in an emergency would you have to worry about downshifting
to pass. Performance wouldn't be quite so good with the 3.36 axle the 442 is supposed to have, but this model would
still be far ahead of the standard Cutlass at the end of the quarter mile.
Top speed down Riverside's back straight was 116 mph at 5500 rpm on our electric tachometer. It seems strange that
Oldsmobile engineers fit a tach to the big, luxurious, automatic-equipped Starfire convertible but not to the F-85 442. A
console-mounted tach is offered as an option on the regular Cutlass, but it might be better to forget it and mount an
accessory tach on the dash where you can see it and still keep your eyes on the road.
As we said before, the heavy-duty suspension components are a big improvement over the F-85's usually soft ride. Hard
cornering brought out a minimum of body lean. The car felt stable and controllable and could be cornered fast with
confidence. The combination of the Red-Line tires and stiffer suspension gave the car a good grip on the pavement. The
442 showed far less understeer than the standard Cutlass coupe and could be taken through a bend (and out of it)
much faster. It just goes to show that, with the proper options, a five-passenger car can have good handling
characteristics and still keep its comfortable ride. Comfort was enhanced by vinyl-covered, foam-padded buckets in front
and a bench seat in the rear. Bound and rebound control was good at any speed on all highway surfaces. We found
only one dip that would bottom the suspension. Our lead picture shows this graphically. Oldsmobile offers heavy-duty
brakes with metallic linings, and we heartily recommend them, especially for a car like the 442 that's intended for
faster-than-normal motoring. Our test car had the standard drums. They did a good job during our tests, giving
straight-line stops with a minimum of swerving and fade. The rear wheels tended to lock up first during panic stops
from 60 mph, making quick pumping necessary for short stopping. We found these brakes perfectly adequate for
normal chores, but the Cutlass 442 isn't a normal car. It goes faster and handles better than run-of-the-mill sedans and
therefore should have every advantage. The best possible brakes available, in this case the heavy-duty metallics, would
be a definite advantage, even on the stock F-85 Oldsmobile.
The standard brakes are self-adjust-ing. Special cooling flanges fitted to the drums helped them cool quickly after
constant hard use (about six panic stops) faded them considerably. To date, they're the strongest stock brakes the F-85
has had, and they're far better than our last year's test car had. But they could be (and should be) stronger for the 442
if you intend any pursuit or apprehending.
Mileage was more or less what we made it. Out at the Riverside track during performance and high-speed testing,
mileage dropped down to an eight mpg low. With the car's 10.25 compression ratio, we could use only premium. Steady
highway driving at 65-70 mph gave a very good figure of 19.8 mpg, while city driving dropped to 14- 15 miles per
gallon.
Just to see what very careful driving could produce, we filled the tank, drove onto the freeway, and covered 100 miles
at a steady 55 mph. We refilled immediately after leaving the freeway. The result was 24.1 mpg, which shows that the
careful driver, if he works at it, can have his cake and eat it. An economy performance car is hard to find in this country.
To say we didn't have any complaints with the 442 wouldn't be true, but the few we had certainly didn't dim the
3
otherwise bright aspects of the car. Our Muncie gearbox had a linkage adjustment problem and took too much power to
change gears. It also tended to hang up on fast shifts. The reach to third was far too long for our liking. It also took
considerable leg-power to work the heavy-duty clutch and non-power-assisted brakes. But both worked well, and we
noticed no clutch slippage, even during hardest use.
Oldsmobile's power steering, with four full turns between locks, may be fine for regular passenger cars, but again, we
feel it's a bit too slow for a car of the 442's caliber. It was smooth enough but a little vague in action. Since many
makers refuse to design a car seat adjustable to different-sized drivers, we appreciated the four-way power seat in our
test car. The addition of a tilting wheel should let anyone fit his new Cutlass. Yet, somehow it doesn't seem right that
you have to pay extra to make your car fit. We're still in favor of seats that adjust for height and rake with simple tools.
As it was, the Cutlass proved quite comfortable for trips of any length. Foam-padded buckets give good lateral and
under-leg support, with the power seat lending almost infinite adjustability. The padded dash is a Cutlass standard item,
but we'd prefer a full complement of gauges instead of the warning lights used for oil, temperature, and generator. One
unusual feature is the glove box door, it swings up. Anyone who goes to drive-in restaurants isn't going to like it.
Four-four-two stands for four on the floor, a four-barrel carb, and dual exhausts. It's Oldsmobile's answer to the extrahot items offered by the competition, and it serves its intended purpose well. It offers Oldsmobile owners interested in
performance something that performs just as well as, and in most cases better than, the competition. Olds engineers
have done a fine job with the suspension system. The H-D components plus the stiffer anti-roll bar up front and the rear
anti-roll bar combine to make the 442 a car that can cover ground quickly with a high degree of safety and comfortable
riding qualities. Naturally, a few items leave some room for improvement, but as we drove it, the F-85 Cutlass 442 is
quite an automobile. It's extremely wide range of good traffic tractability to all-out dragstrip performance was
impressive. Its fuel economy was surprising (yes, it was figured on a corrected speedometer). So we'll have to give the
442 a pretty enthusiastic send-off. No automobile can be all things to all people, but the 442 comes a lot closer than
most. Why did they wait so long?

1954 Cutlass Concept Car
Another name that would see mass production (and in a much bigger way than the Starfire), Cutlass was billed as "the
ultimate in hardtops." Mounted on a 110 inch wheelbase, it featured fastback styling with a louvered backlight, the
combination bumper-grille, swivel seats (much in advance of Chrysler's) and copper-toned glass for screening harsh
light. The copper-metallic Cutlass was a predictive car in many ways; today's Saab 900 uses a copper-tinted glass,
having determined that color to be the most effective.

1954 F-88
Corvette-inspired descendant of the '53 Starfire in brown
metallic with pigskin upholstery, and powered by a 250 hp
324 V-8, the F-88 featured cone-shaped clear plastic headlamp
covers and a functional hood scoop. It was strictly a dream
car, since the lukewarm sales of the Corvette precluded any
sports car cloning by the other GM divisions.
