I saw it lurking behind a big Malibu, and i told myself that there was no way. getting a better look revealed that it was a car i love.

Not on this one, this one is just perfect
but in general opel gt is a car that is rusting very quick when it's not zinc-coated in addition

i bet if you have the paint protection it would be fine.

Well maybe if you are lucky the rust protection of the old opel is not the best for sure
just one of the problems is that they used mulitple layers of steelplates for the bottom, but i'm not 100% sure if the GT has this problem too

If something would be broken on my ol' seat ibiza i'd just repair it for real, not just duct tape it.

i drive a GT-R everywhere. it get surprisingly good gas mileage.
i mean.. if i drive conservatively

Foxdemon-chan In reply to rioross [2010-08-17 20:10:54 +0000 UTC]

Nissan GT-R?
It got lots of power, how many litres does it need per 100 km or miles?
I guess it's more like if you would drive it conservatively, i bet it's just too much fun driving fast with it

rioross In reply to Foxdemon-chan [2010-08-18 02:57:39 +0000 UTC]

on a perfect day, i can get 21 Miles per gallon, but it settles down at around 18 or 19.
idk how much that is in litres, but 20 is a good mileage

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Foxdemon-chan In reply to rioross [2010-08-18 16:09:44 +0000 UTC]

21 miles per gallon is really good for a 357kW engine
My Ibiza with 52kW gets just 25-33 Miles per gallon not really good in comparison to yours

Foxdemon-chan In reply to rioross [2010-08-18 17:08:49 +0000 UTC]

Well I didn't know if there's a difference between hp and bhp so i used kilowatts.
But usually i use hp too

rioross In reply to Foxdemon-chan [2010-08-19 03:33:43 +0000 UTC]

HP, BHP, and WHP or even RWHP in some cases are all pretty much the same.

K thanks.
Well I'm actually looking for a funny car i can buy in a few years
at the moment i've found two that are interesting audi 80 with the 2.3 litres injection machine and the peugot 306 16S (i like small cars with power, in this case 163ps, that don't look different from the usual versions)
do you know some (affordable) older cars with power that don't look like it?

Sorry for taking so long to answer.

Thank you very much
I guess I'm still too poor to get one of these nice cars but well, i'm still pretty young and have lots of time to get one.

let me tell you, you can never go wrong with a GM vehicle.
ive had three so far and the only thing that ever broke was the car when i ran into a wall.
other than that nothing, and when something does go wrong, they are cheap to fix.

Foxdemon-chan In reply to rioross [2010-11-27 23:07:16 +0000 UTC]

The only "GM" cars i was driving with were opel/vauxhal and their main problem is rust which is pretty annoying.
and thank you for your advice i'll take a look at some "real" gm cars then. Because i like cars that are relatively fast, unconspicuous and have got a capability of resistance like you described it.

That's a nice one, but apparently hard to get in germany..
Oh my gosh... i just found the oldsmobile of my dreams..
oldsmobile 442 w-30
too sad that it's even more expensive than a new middle-class car

Foxdemon-chan In reply to rioross [2010-11-29 18:55:39 +0000 UTC]

yes, it's imported from switzerland and got restored just a few years ago so it's pretty much like a new one!
Plus, it's the w-30 with 7.5litres of cylinder capacity and 450ps.
It's awesome in every way.

The condition looks just perfect.

Indeed it is
I love muscle cars but the newer ones are kind of boring to me.
Guess it's because you don't see any polished metal but plastic in the engine bay.
