The Opel GT ran the 1/4 mile in 10.2 seconds @ 79 MPH.

Remember it weighed in at a measly 1800lbs. It also made 120ft-lbs of torque. Those combined put it on par with most “muscle” cars of it’s day.

My friend Opel GT was mildly modded. It had an awesome habit of eating Big Blocks for a late night snack.

Define normal?

You understand that AWD doesn’t power a wheel that is slipping.

It also weighs 4400lbs and has a 1000lb capacity.

You do realize that tires only have so much grip. Tires that are driven have less grip for say steering, due to the added force of being powered. You’re right, it is science, bro.

BTW, pre95 there was NO Fiat. Jesus, get your facts straight man.

#because4wheelbrakes yo.

I can’t argue that.

Whatever you gotta tell yourself to sleep at night.

4 to be exact. All took me well over 150k without issues. 1 of which was running 300hp.

EPA has a bad tendency of lying miserably. My pre 95 vehicles regularly smoke EPA estimates. Meanwhile anything newer struggles to meet EPA numbers.

Never had a 90s chrysler let me down. Nor has any of my family. That being said, I wouldn’t touch a newer one with a 10ft pole. Proper maintenance goes a long way.

Toyota=/=Junk. Never again would I even think about one of their epic shitboxes.

AWD is not needed for winter, assuming you know how to handle a vehicle. I live in Wisconsin, so you don’t need to tell me about winter.

Depends on the day......

Volt is better looking.

Since that car, anything with Toyota on it never so much as crosses my radar as a real vehicle.
