Good Video.

If you want a ride in a Opel Ascona 400 rallye race car from the onboard camera view...... watch the middle of the video as the back end fish tails and it looks like the car is ready to go off the cliff.

2 Fast-
That's a pretty cool video, but at 8 1/2 minutes couldn't they devote more than 2 pics for the original GT.

Not much on GT's but there are some beautiful Opels there

@ Phoenix, I know they used a lot of photo's of the Kadett C, it's a cult car here, more as the Manta

What in the heck is with the 6 wheel manta at 7:25? Doe anyone know the story behind it?

Jerry C · 04-07-2007

I saw that too. Back in the early 70's there was a ELF sponsored F1 car that gave the 4 front wheel thing a shot. It was even in a Popular Mechanics article. I was real young but I do remember the F1 car. I don't remenber what the big plan was

Hey, with respect to all, some of think the Asconas and Mantas are the coolest Opels.
