Powertrain Options and Availability

By 1990, Berettas had three engine choices: base 2.2 liter 4-cylinder with 95 horsepower; 135-horsepower, 3.1-liter V6; and a new Oldsmobile-developed, dual-overhead-cam High Output 2.3 liter Quad 4 that put out 180 horsepower, in the GTZ. A 5-speed manual gearbox was standard; 3-speed automatic optional in all except the GTZ (unless a V6 was installed). For 1992, the 4-cylinder gained 15 horsepower. Two years later, it added 10 more. Also in '94, the 3.1-liter V6 gained 20 horsepower (reaching 160). A 170-horsepower Quad 4 was installed only in the new Z26.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: 5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%; 1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%; 2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
