442 isn't the engine size

and it was shit compared to the GN. A sleight to the original 442 badge

You have been rused, my good sir.

Does you grandpa know you're using his car?

It's still a shit 305 5.0L V8.

Honestly, the FWD Quad 442 was a better 442 than the G-body thing.

Despite being FWD, it was a better car all around and the fastest Oldsmobile since the 1960's and early 70s.
The 2.3L Quad 4 2.3L engine was less than half the size of the G-body's 5.0L V8, but made more power. The car was also lighter, better handling, more fuel efficient.... and a homologation special for SCCA Showroom Stock Racing.

Yes

4 4 2 stands for 4 barrel carb, 4 speed manual and dual exhaust.

The g-body olds were all small block 305 V8 engines. Older cars had an optional 400ci or 455ci engine.

442 stood for four seats, four wheels, and two headlights
