@marxcuda this opel gt is now rebuilt as a saltflat car for over 250 miles per hour, see it at the flats this summer, not owned by me any more, it was and is a nice car
Damn that's awesome! I've always wanted an Opel GT to play around with. It smokes the tires so effortlessly, how much would you say one of those weighs?
This car has been taken apart and rebuilt since this video, you can now see it at the salt flats trying for the 200 mile per hour record for Opels, still a Chevy V8 car only faster than ever, I no longer own the car.
It's the nicest sound a V-8 can hope for. No doubt amazingly even output that only an eight can deliver. Almost like a hypnotic mechanical orchestra conducted and nourished by your right foot. Every person in the world would love the feeling of being that Conductor. But - speaking for myself - I would do nice things for my neighbors. Roast a pig!
im rebuild right now opel gt 1972 and im put 2.8 chevy 5 speeds just inition job left and i dont like electric :). Ford 9 inch ouf that true Swap :)))))))))

I have to tell you.
I'm going on 47 yrs.old and all my life, I have loved the sweet sound of an American v8,as heared through a non restrictive exhaust.
And it has been a damn long time since I have heard anything the likes of that sm.block you have in that Opel.
Call me crazy, but I just recorded it on my pocket dictator so I could readilly demonstrate to the locals just exactly what a car SHOULD sound like.
