Maverick Posted August 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 So whats the review on this car? Fast? Sucks ass? Wha? Anyone know of anyone on here who owns one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeoZ34 Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 W/ 190hp not super fast, but the Quad 4's weren't to shabby for what they were. I think it is to plain looking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Um, 190 hp in a lighter car means Z34 killer. Even the 180 version is a decent performer. Unless you are shawn lin, then its slow cause it doesn't run a 13. Lookout, here comes grandma in a maxima! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heza Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 my buddy has a '91 (i believe) achieva with the 2.3 in it. his motor took a dump and he got it rebuilt. it has a 5-speed in it and is reasonably quick. surprised me the first time i drove it. it's quite peppy on the topend.

jesse Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 I owned a `90 442. If you know how to drive it right, it was quicker than my stock `83 Z28 with crossfire injection. It was a little slow on the start, just getting it up to third, but it really picked up when you put the peddle down in the 3,4,5. I put more than 160K on it befroe trading it in, and it was tight as adrum at that point. No fluid leaks, no mechanical problems. Brakes and a muffler were all I needed to keep it running. Got rid of it because it was showing a code, forgot what number it was, but was high or low voltage to the QUAD PACK??? nobody could explain it to me and was a very expensive part, and could not be sure if replacing it would fix it, could not take the chance of having it down because it was my only ride. But the performance was not being compromized at the time. Traded it in for a `94 Supreme. I really wish I would have kept it though.

LukeZ34 Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Wow.. no blown headgaskets? The quad 4 was notorious for blowing those. If you can get your hands on the car, do it! They are really hard to find in decent condition. There was one here in town a few years back, and it was trashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90TGP Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I wouldn't mind owning one. With 190hp, 5-speed, LSD [stock] and the light weight, you have a very quick little car. I know these cars along with the Achieva SCX [same drivetrain as the 442], they make killer track cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomeoZ34 Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Still, 190hp and lighter, I'd rather spend the 12k on a 1998 Z28 w/ 75k miles or something along those lines. However, if you were a collector, I guess it'd be pretty cool to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGPilot Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 its got a 180 hp HO quad4, in 91 they got a 190hp quad4 with the W41 package 190 HP out of a 1990's N/A 4 cylinder? Holy crap! Do you have to run alcohol in it due to it's compression? Sounds like it could be a fun little car... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
