1991 Olds 442, W41

There have been quite a few threads recently mentioning the N body Cutlass. Here's one I found while browsing CL (not mine):

https://albany.craigslist.org/cto/6113198626.html

What's up with the roll cage? Is this another SUPER RARE Oldsmobile that the seller might not know much about? The price seems to be decent.

Wild claims but may be a fun car if he really does have a W-41 engine in it and brake upgrades. The 442's with the W-41 needed better brakes to make full use of the car on a curvy road.

Yeah, I thought that was an odd stat to include in the listing. I suppose it would mean something to someone that races with a group like the SCCA.

I never did race but had my share of fun with my old W-41 on curvy roads. For sure the brakes are a much needed improvement for road racing. I could only run hard for about 10 minutes before I needed to let the brakes cool. Nothing like keeping the RPMs between 5000 and 7000 on a real fun road. Not done it in years but would sure like to again. I needed better tires, wheels and brakes to have pushed it any harder than I use to.
