    Ha! I have a 1990 Berreta GT 3.1. Its loaded exept for leather(I don't even think leather was an option for the Berretas).


    Thats mine, sadly though she's got too many things wrong with her(will consider parting out)

    I know a few other people that have Beretta's...all of which are modded and whatnot

    Pro's:
    -Fast(er then a lumina)
    -Slick
    -Cooler then any other car from the 90's

    Cons:
    -FWD
    -Digital Speedo
    -Thats all I can think of

    They're no masters of the street but if you want a nice compact sporty 90's car go for it.

    they came with the quad 4, 2.8, and 3.1. Them are not fast motors enless you do some major mods. I have the 3.1 in my 95 monte carlo and it is slow as hell.

    I'm pretty sure a Berreta is faster than your average family car

    I should know from first hand expirience...yeah its not the fastest car out there, but it sure as hell will beat a Lumina off the line

    Yep, I'm sure the Beretta had the same engine as a Corsica or Cavalier.

    Those of you saying Berreta's are slow...well thats just odd, because I know for a fact that my Berreta had more kick then any other family(ish) car I have driven.

    Gearing maybe?

    Anyways, I'm selling(or maybe even parting out) the Beretta. Getting rid of it for something a little...bigger/stronger/faster

    So don't think I'm defending the Beretta whatsoever, I know this car sucks in some area's.
