We already know what you’re thinking. What is this, you ask? During the nineties, GM was trying to infuse some life into the Oldsmobile brand. The Quad 442 had the same name as the legendary muscle car albeit a modern design. The powerplant was a V6 engine but the car still managed to achieve some respectable track numbers. The obscure design of the Quad 442 was an exciting car to drive.
