I have just finished the edition of the Auto Bild Sportscars in front of me. Here are compared the Kombi versions of OPC, BMW 335ix, Audi S4 and VW Passat R36. Racetrack was the Sachsenring. Conclusion, oh wonder: 1) Audi S4 He drives in his own world and has real addictive potential. The engine works almost too perfectly. Unfortunately, the fun is not cheap, but every single cent is worth. 0 – 100: 5.3 0 – 200: 19.6 lap time: 1:43.83 curb weight: 1.819 KG 2) BMW 335ix Ohn E M-package equipped he beats himself more than passable. The charged row six is so vehemently at work that one does not believe him the “only” 306 hp. 0 – 100: 5.7 0 – 200: 22.1 lap time: 1:47.57 curb weight: 1.767 KG 3) Opel Insignia OPC First and foremost the OPC fights with its weight. However, its standard Brembo brakes are completely unimpressed. First-class Recaro seats. 0 – 100: 6.5 0 – 200: 24.3 lap time: 1:47.52 curb weight: 1.880 KG 4) VW Pas sat R36 As one with a suction engine, he collects sympathy points, but his days seem to be numbered. He cannot keep up with the charged aggregates of his competitors. For this he offers a lot of space 0 – 100: 6,1 0 – 200: 25,3 lap time: 1:48,30 curb weight: 1,770 KG The newspaper can otherwise be given… much Bla Bla … and not much interesting- for me belongs to the genre car e.g. the engine respectively exhaust sound, which in no syllable of any car he I don’t want to say anything about the performance of over 1.8 tons and 8 hp more than the OPC! But that doesn’t change the fact that the overall package of the S4 is certainly the deserved winner.

Hello together, since I want to buy a zafira a opc in the next time, I wanted to ask if there are people here who have already driven the opc, or drive and can write me a lot about quality, sprite consumption, defects etc. many thanks and greetings

Hello all, I wanted to make a wheel towing force diagram from the Vectra OPC with 280hp. Unfortunately I miss almost all the necessary data. Need a torque curve and the gear ratio. Does someone have something like this? Gruss Jürgen

Moin, so, since Saturday, our OPC is now equipped with a Prins VSI at the AH Benkel in Beverungen. The yellow nozzles, the turbokit and a 50l tank – which fits in the caravan without further modifications (higher ground). The gas connection is located in the tank flap, exhaust gas inspection etc. everything was finished at pickup. The conversion lasted from Monday to Saturday, apparently went smoothly. The transfer went exactly like the collection with instruction absolutely professional, all F tank demonstration, full fuelling at the expense of the house – the first few hundred kilometers we drove without problems on gas, I report how it goes on. Costed the fun 3410.- €, including car rental. We are so far very satisfied and do not regret to have driven for the conversion 250km. With the vehicle we would probably not have been happy with the requested local retrofitters. Photos come yet. The refueling is now fun again, m ehr Liter wie Euro. Greetings, Thomas

Moin, after our annual driving performance has not developed as expected and the thickness has proved to be relatively vulnerable (many small things, turbocharger damage via car warranty, …), I seriously think about an exchange 3.0 CDTI for OPC. The driving fun will be a bit (hush) higher, insurance is at about the same level, the fuel consumption is expected to run out in about 8.5 to 11l. The tax is drastically lower, this is likely to be a part of the extra consumption as well as against my first assumption, can I not continue to use the winter tyres, because of the even larger braking system?! Gas conversion would also be a possibility. Opinions, tips, hints or ideas? Greetings, Thomas
