I'll tell rick hi for ya chuck, he couldn't make it to devil's run cause they got evicted from their place and they are extremely short on cash

but for those who car to get more knowledge about a car no one likes:) here is some info

88-90s had 2.0, 2.2, 2.8 and quad4. 2.0 and 2.2(were avaliable 90-96) only came in base models. 2.8s came in the GT models and GTU models. 90 GTZ only came with a 2.3 quad4 HO and 5 speed muncie, no options for v6 or automatic. 91-94 quads had 10 less HP than the 90s GTZ. If u can find a 94 Quad Z26 they are rare, also if u find a GT with GTU rims and interior with a w26 on the sticker in the trunk they are also rare to find. 3.1s came in 90-93, then 94-96 had the options of the 2.2 and the 3100 SFI

as for motor swaps most ppl just take their 3100s out and install 3400s since they don't need a new ECU. There is one guy installing a 3800SC and there is 2 guys working on a Quad4 SC and a few have turbo quad4s.

but thats enough about boring you:)

I mean, other than maybe sequential fuel injection and a different air plenum it's essentially unchanged. GM just starting using marketing speak for their engines in about 96.

Beretta's are FWD only. They came with a 2.2 I4, 2.8 V6 (88-89?), 3.1 (90-??) and the Quad4. I don't remember which came with which, but there was the Base Beretta, GT, GTU, GTZ, INDY and Z26. Alot more info is available --> http://www.beretta.net/model_info/index.htm
