This is what 442.com had to say:

W-41

1991:
Again, W-41 was used as a Cutlass Calais Quad 442 option.

It was produced during the 1991 model year. 200 cars (mostly Achieva) were made mostly for racing.

Engine: Quad4 H.O. 2.3 liter, 4 cyl, 190 bhp (Vin A? - LGO)
Transmission: Getrag 5-speed, 3.94 final drive ratio, limited slip
Body Style: 2 Door FWD coupe (Calais, Achieva)
Distignuishing characteristics: Silver striping (4- ¼" stripes)around car, trunklid spoiler, ~30 MPG Highway. Very few options were availible since made for SCCA racing.

Notes:
Olds test results: 0-60 in 6.8 sec, ¼ mile in 14.6 sec (95.7 miles per hour speed at trap).

EPA 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway.

Differences between 180 hp VIN A and the 190 hp VIN A include: hotter cam profile, lower restriction exhaust, and taller transmission gearing.

Won 6 out of 9 IMSA Firestone Firehawk races in 1991.

The most distinguishing feature is the W-41 emblem on the moulding on both the driver's and passenger's front rocker panel. The other exclusive feature is the bright red, with silver stripes, W-41 cover over the engine (plugs, cams, etc.). The words on the cover say "Made exclusively for Oldsmobile". In the center is an Olds rocket next to a "W30" marking.
Hope this helps in your decision.
