1990 - 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Quad 442

[Guest YellowJacket894]

The final use of the 442 name was on the Quad 442 front-wheel drive 1990-1991 Cutlass Calais. This model used a 2.3 L LG0 Quad-4 4-cylinder engine with 4 valves per cylinder and 2 camshafts. The engine was tuned with higher output camshafts which produced more top end power at the expense of idle quality. It used a single exhaust with dual tailpipes and produced 180 & 190 hp with a 5-speed manual transmission. This 442 model lasted just two years.

shoulda put the DOHC 3.4 in there to make a real rocket...

[Guest YellowJacket894]

Still, about 190 horses out of a four-cylinder engine isn't too bad for a 1991 model vehicle.

Didn't really deserve the 442, name, though.

Ahhh, the Olds N car, I remember it well!

Yeah... not exactly a high point in Oldsmobile history.

FWD really is a plague that has ravaged the Automotive landscape.

[capriceman]

hmm... still more horse power than a Cobalt, HHR, and the Vibe.

Is this vehicle even worth the kilobytes of webspace that has been used to make this thread?

You know, I sent Fly alot of pictures and information about this car for his "Random Car Showcase" a few weeks ago. He must not like these as he never posted it...

ah they were neat cars! Not too common at all. ESP the W41 versions--7400rpm redline

While the did make more PEAK hp then the 2.4L Ecotec--its power band is not as flat. I raced a GTZ in my 5 speed 2.4L SS and won np
