opeltwinturbo Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Attached are a few pictures of my 1971 OPEL GT. This particular OPEL GT is equipped with a Buick Motorsport 274 Cubic Inch V6 with twin turbocharged 67 turbos from Precision Turbo, a power glide transmission, and a titanium rear end housing sporting 9" Ford 4:10 gears. This combination produces 1,400-1,500 HP. At the time of this picture the car weighed 2,700# on a 2"X3" mild steel chassis and a chrome moly certified roll cage. In 2008 NHRA ruled this combination would only be certified for 8.50 seconds and slower. At the time this picture was taken it ran 7.52 @ 185 MPH. It is now being put back together with a full chrome moly round tube chassis that is projected to reduce the weight down to 2,050#. It is all about having fun. I'm all for the BCA recognizing OPEL. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 John, My too (recognizing Opel). I enjoyed our conversation at dinner in Brookfield. Hope you had good results getting your '28 taken care of. That is one powerful Opel, perhaps the most powerful. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
