Well, in the current picture the decision is already inside. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard it internally yet, the last one was a V8 or V6. Now it’s clear that the GT comes only with 4 cylinder engines which are all based on the 2.2 Direct. The basis is the 2.2 suction cup with 155Ps then comes a Soft Turbo with 180Ps a 2.2 Mid Turbo with 210Ps and a 2.2 OPC Turbo with 240Ps. Price of the whole? from 25,000.- Furthermore there is also a Coupe and a kind cross over from Coupe and Caravan ala S ignum with only 2 doors to the debate. The GT Roadster comes with shredded roof and hardtop. Ps. It is not built in Germany but exclusively in the USA and comes by import to Europe! With the 2nd page from the report, unfortunately some poor quality because I have to use the space here because I have no space atm on my webspace. But quite legible and the pictures can also be seen quite well.

Hi guys. Since I’m about to miss my Cali ne performance cure, but I can’t decide between different motorizations, I thought I’d ask you for your opinion.I’m driving at the moment nn V6, which as we all know is not quite easy and of course not quite cheap to tune. The following variants swirl in front of me to come to about 350 Ps +/-. 1) V6 keep (winter vehicle) and buy a turbo (summer vehicle) 2) conversion to 3.0 with co-driver. Mpressor. 3) I have recently seen in the flash n manta with the 4.0l mirsche engine.Since many already had problems completely to get under the 3.0l, I just wanted to ask if someone knows, whether someone has tried this before or if that is absolutely impossible.I don’t know about this unfortunately but is the manta from the engine compartment so much bigger? and I would like to have your opinion on which variant you would prefer and why. And of course the most important one at the end 🙂 : If you had 350 Ps with all three variants, which of the three would be the fastest by the acceleration, if you would drive all three by four-wheel? In advance thank you for your opinions and all the accident-free winter 🙂

Would you like to ask if you have experiences with the two vehicles? What do you think is better? From my buddy the mother has a Focus year 04 with 100ps TDCI….have now a Cali 8v original except for Sport luffi as a winter car, and he wants to challenge me 😉 Thanks in advance greeting Senni

And what happens when a truck with 80 is out? Are the best brakes in the world enough? Or does it get under? Maybe a few centimeters are missing… Questions about questions, the new Bugatti Veyron has 1001 hp in series. And it costs a lot of money. Well, just for information. See for yourself: http://focus.msn.de/hps/fol/article/article.htm?id=13148

Moin, I have a few questions. 1. The timing belt like tensioning rollers are made new with my xe. But I think that after a little bit of heating in the stand it gives off very loud running noises. Sounds like a scraping. One might think the tensioning rollers would be in the bucket, but of course this is not the case. Is the noise normal? 2. My hydro’s clatter very clearly even after hot driving. Mantzel and Opel now said to me that it doesn’t matter, even if they’re ri What do you think about this? 3. Does anyone have an idea of how speed-proof the c20xe is now really? Do you mean, how long can you drive it on the track with maximum speed? Mine turns up to about 7400 tours, because of Mantzel control unit, whereby I have to say that I usually switch it at 7000 when it is extremely fast. 4.Now you think of this possible number of days of course about d using a rather sharp camshaft, but does the xe make the 7400 tours permanently with the acceleration, or should one rather choose a camshaft which has a lower speed band, but earlier comes but less peak power? I mean, he is anyway up to 4000 tours. which camshaft do you recommend–which one notices neatly, but at the bottom does not slow down??? At the c14nz at my Corsa the 270 Mantzel was a good choice.

Hello Ride a Speedster 2.2 147ps I am quite satisfied with the car, although I do not drive it regularly, just when nice weather is. I have been playing for a long time with the idea to install a 1.8T engine with my Speedster 1.8T 225 Ps which if I bought it of course does not remain in the original condition. I think so 300-310ps should be it already. I would then come to a power weight of approx. 2.8 kg per ps …..:-) I would get the engine for 1800EUR with approx. 50 000KM including gearboxes. My question to you, what keeps me busy. The drive shafts of the engine of the 1.8T are of course different and longer than those of the Speedster. How do I fix such a problem?? I mean, if I have the motor installed, where do I get the appropriate drive shafts which then fit with my car, or do I have adapter plates or extensions? and how does it work with the electronics when I have the control unit of the 1.8T that must be on the electric nik to be voted on (Tacho flasher light….. Not misunderstood, I am not untalented, and would also pass the conversion, but these questions just don’t leave me rest. and ps. OK it’s an Audi engine, but I get it cheap now, and since I myself am 1.8 dangers I know how tuning joyous the engine is. I ask for your answers, but please only those who understand what is built by such.

Games with the idea to get me the box….so now a couple of questions to the owners of the cart here: What about the costs for consumption/repairs and insurance? Does the car hold out a lot,or is the box including Turbo after 100000km GROTT????Tell me about your experiences and help me make a little decision……. So: Cali Turbo ,TOP or FLOP ?

Greetings to all Opel drivers! I spent the last decade building and driving E and C cadets. I switched to Audi a year ago because of my good experience in the winter car (B4 V6). I would like to buy a car with the flash again and after long considerations have shot me on the Calibra 16V. Now I ask for reports about the two engine variants: 150 hp and 136 hp (from 94). Your advantages and disadvantages. also other pros and cons before and after the “model change” 94. With many thanks in advance and bye…

Hi Calidriver Since I drive such a jewel of Calibra myself, I would like to know if anyone knows if there will be a Calibra B ? The rumors are going around for a long time I think ..

Hello, I am looking for information if there are any technical differences between the new Opel GT and the Saturn Sky red line. Are the vehicles just similar or are they largely the same? Does anyone have information, expertise or does anyone know where to read this? Many thanks for the help in advance! Greeting, oberon30
