1990 also offered the Beretta GTZ with the 180HP Quad 4 and a stick only (sounds a lot like the CSVT)
I think the Beretta GTZ would give a CSVT a good run for it's money because it is quite a bit lighter.

My advice to you : Stop while you're ahead. You are already building a bad rep. for yourself on this forum with posts like the one above. You are proving to be quite the chump yourself. When people here talk sh!!t, you'll know it, and that was no where close to it.

If a 100 shot of Nos cant put a SVT in the 11's then for sure a 100 shot is not going to put a 3.1L Barrette into a 11's. Remember Nos is gives you (on average) about 60% more power. With my basic math skills 60% of 130 is 78 so the average output of the Barrette is 208 HP, at the crank. Not 11 second HP. Tell your friend to give that time slip back to the guy he took it from. Even if his car was a GTZ with the Quad four, the second he shoot the Nos he would blow his head gasket. It's a common recurring problem in those cars, much worse then the water pump with our car's...

I had a Yellow 1990 Beretta Indy before I got my Tour and it was rather quick, but it was an auto. I would honestly say that my Indy would come close to my car (97 SE V6) but I would have to give it to the Tour. As for the 225 Indys, they never made it to production, they were convertables, but they were only used for the 1990 Indy 500 race as a pace car.

Those 225 hp powerplants found it's way into some limited edition Old's Achivas. A really ugly car.

Not sure where you got your information from, but it's wrong.
The most potent mill you could obtain under the bonnet of an Achieva was the low-production SCX-only 190hp "W41" Quad 4, carried over from the previous year's very low production Cutlass Calais 442 W41.
The remainder of the Achieva line made do with other Quad 4 versions, the 90-degree 3.3 V6, and, later, the 60-degree 3.1 V6. The hi-po 3.1-based 3.4 Litre V6 of the Beretta Indy Pace Car was not available as production option for any application.
