Interesting Cutlass(from 1989 Popular Hot Rodding)

[mfewtrail]

I got this magazine off of ebay since it had a little TGP blurb and pictures in it and came across this in there.

 

 

That badge close-up shot appears to be the badge that is on the front fender of the cutlass pictured. Is that front end the same as the pace car Cutlass or not? I'll actually scan up some of the W-body related pages to post in the articles post and also some select things to post in the "other car" section(some other interesting cars in this magazine). BTW, I didn't see any mention of the "supercharged Quad4" in the actual article accompanying the pictures.

Popular Hot Rodding magazine(as I put in the thread title ). I wonder if anyone on the Quad 4 forum knows anything about it? I may join up and post it there to see.

hah, i looked over the message body but ignored the title, sorry sounds interesting, but i'll take the Pace Car Turbo Quad-4.

No clue, they don't even mention it in the magazine, just have the pictures there. I posted it on the Quad 4 forum, hopefully someone over there has some info or maybe some more pictures(underhood would be cool).

 

EDIT: I'll be scanning damn near half the magazine when I get a chance, I even have some Turbo Dodge stuff for you Josh.

 

EDIT x 2: I just looked over that "weirdest W-body thread" and the post on the GMinsidenews forum it linked to also mentioned a Cutty with a supercharged quad 4.

 

""As for Aerotech III, it was nothing more than a gussied up 1990 Cutlass Supreme sedan, shown in 1989. I have not seen this car personally. Supposedly it was powered by a 240 hp supercharged Quad 4."

 

That makes me wonder if Aerotech also done that black cutty pictured above, I know that Aerotech had one car with the same looking front end on it anyways(that land-speed Cutlass that is now owned by that Police drag racing program in California).

Werd isn't this a repost?

[GnatGoSplat]

It's a similar car, but it's not the same one. The other one didn't have foglight holes, had smaller wheels, and was a lighter color.

Aerotech isn't the name of a company, Aerotech was the name of the land speed record holding 1987 Oldsmobile.

 

 

Powered by a Turbo Q4, it ran 267mph in the flying mile. They later put an Aurora V8 in it and did further testing.

 

I believe that Olds just used the name on a few of it's concepts afterward. ( like the Aerotech III )

I kinda just assumed that the Cutlass(police car now) Fueling Engineering ran on the salt flats was by "Aerotech". I found some info stating that the race car was a joint effort between the "Oldsmobile Corporation and Fueling Engineering" for what it's worth.

 

Also found this.

 

"A year later in 1990, Feuling returned to Bonneville with a highly modified, Quad 4-based Swain Tech coated, two-liter engine mounted in an ex-NASCAR Cutlass Supreme" So, I guess that means the Feuling Cutty was an ex Pace Car or one of those replicas?

 

 

Also, the pace car Cutties appear to have the same exact front clip.

Posted a link since the picture is pretty big/probably not very dial-up friendly.
