On Monday, we presented this week’s shifter and asked you to identify the make and model of the vehicle from whence it came. We figured the anonymous-looking shifter might give you more trouble than it did. The first commenter to correctly identify it as a 1990 Chevrolet Beretta GTZ’s five-speed manual was Mike Jackson. Mike will receive a Save the Manuals button and sticker as a reward.
The Beretta GTZ pictured here is from our December 1989 issue. Conceived as the top-dog Beretta, the GTZ combined GM’s most powerful Quad 4 engine with a sportier suspension tune. The 180-hp Beretta charged to 60 mph from a standstill in 7.7 seconds, and stuck to the skidpad to the tune of 0.84 g. At the time, the GTZ’s skidpad figure was the highest we’d recorded for a front-drive car.
