This is, by far, a very well balanced and beautiful car:



Hilmersson racing Opel Manta



It has a VOLVO DOHC powerplant boosted by a Garrett GT40 turbo and a Eaton M62 supercharger. The car sounds absolutely amazing. Click on "Filmer" if you want to see/hear video of this car. It is absolutely amazing.







anyone read swedish?

Manta's have been in my family since they came out, we still own a few of them all over Europe.

I didn't realise that Opels existed in the states, but you seem to know about the Astra over there too. The Manta is another car that used to do well in rally's.



BTW thats a horrific example in that picture
