What a Delicious menu of sounds.....Hard to go past a BDA, but the Opel sounded just as good, and ze other Germans were very impressive as well.....Even the Swedish Taxi once it finished wallowing around sounded pretty good.....The 350Z was excellent.
to Neunzehnelfer colt: No , not really. Porsche 911 have been useful in rally for a long time, maybe not nowdays but all the way from around mid/late 60s to mid 80s it was one of the top cars in world championchips. If you search for rally videos in the 70s , specially tarmac rallys then you will find a bunch of porsches in there.
There are all competition cars, which means they have been tuned out the ass. You can make any engine fast, I'm willing to bet that it's probably the same Opel engine, just tuned well.
Was there ever a relationship between Ford in Europe and Opel? I knew a guy that had a Opel GT which had the same 2.0 liter motor that my Ford Pinto had. Iron block and head with a single OHC and a two barrel weber style carb.
No suprise, we have almost no development in motorization since 1960ties. Only difference is, that today cars are usually FWD, and lower quality, since about 2005. Actually, already before WWII, we had technology better than in most production cars of 70ties. Ever heard about electromagnetic gearbox?
