My friends Oldsmobile!
My best friend has an Oldsmobile Achieva and let me tell we took it out last night and we beat so many people and won some money. First we raced a Honda Civic with headers exhaust and intake and we won easily no challenge at all. So we kepted cruising and some guy in a focus with an exhaust wants to race us so we tell him ok and he pulls out 20 bucks all ricer style so we tell him ok and we also won comfortably. I tell my friend dam your car is fast lets go get my gf mustang. So we get her mustang and it has exhaust and intake and he also beat me by a fender it was so close. He told me he also once beat a 1996 mustang with exhaust intake headers and it was 5 spd. We found out this car was fast when i raced him joking around. It was a joke until he won. So watch out with those oldsmobiles anyone else ever get beat by a grandma car?

What year was it?
Some are insanely slow and others actually have a chance at being classified as "quick". The one that looks like it has decent power is the 1992 SCX model that had a 2.3L 4 cylinder with 180-190hp/150tq. Not bad for a 2700lb car.
Did some research.. the SCX actually sounds like a fairly cool car:

The Achieva SCX was made in 1992 and 1993. It was made by Olds to legalize it for racing. SCCA world champ, NHRA record holder, IMSA Firehawk champ. Great car. 1146 made in 1992, 500 made in 1993.
Special parts included: 190hp Q4 (185hp in 1993), which included the W41 cams, larger exhaust system, a Getrag licensed 5-speed with a .81 5th gear, a concentric slave clutch, a modified version of the FX3 Computer Command Ride package, a larger front stabilizer bar, 2 rear stabilzer bars, a wider rear axle, V-rated 14" tires, a 140 mph speedometer, and a 7000k tach.
This car also came in a C41 version, of which only 11 were made. (The standard version is the C60 version, not to be confused with the option package W41, which both had).
This car included a tank baffle, a Torsen LSD, a oil cooler, no power options or A/C, and a 7400k redline. This car was availible to the public, but was built to be sold to the racers as basis for track cars.
The standard Achieva is pretty unremarkable, but talk to any owner of an SCX, and you'll find a happy car owner. 0-60 in 7.6, 135mph, 31mpg, .86 g's, 15k new, and really cheap to insure. Besides, every time you beat someone, you get to talk about your car, 'cause no one knows what it is!

Rep Power: 0 Even Oldsmobile makes cars in small numbers to market to those who prefer to drive more spiritedly. Same w. Dodge (eg: Neon ACR, etc.). When the hell is Honda going to wise up and start making a few special edition cars that the average person can afford w. such an impressive chart of features.
