Well, they are no good once there are corners so it’s the only thing they could compete in...

tbh...the kadett i had was no good period

rain used to leak through the roof light somehow

it was the shitbox that made me apreciate other shitboxes

Damn. Chirping the tyres into the start of 3rd, and it looks like he’s managing a good deal of torque steer even in the top of 4th.

I know this is controversial but I can’t get behind the fact that it’s still FWD.

but i dont doubt the hp claim

bet the driver is getting a workout keeping that thing aimed more or less straight tho

Is that a half mile? And it’s gotta be kms, right? (pardon my ignorance)

i imagine this sort of thing happens when a race shop owner is cruising criagslist like the rest of us and sees “oh hey, my Mum drove one of those...” and buys a $500 beater before sense kicks in.

Definitely kph, and has to be more than 1/4 mile. My civic used to run 15 flat in the 1/4 with 160hp.

290 kph is 180 mph, jeezus that’s hauling.

Air resistance is a harsh mistress.

Ain't that the truth. Big power and big money to go just a few tenths faster.

A guy at work is just finishing up an 800hp Corsa Drag car, which I imagine will be similar to this.

You can find a lot of ridiculous engine-swapping over on Engine Swap Depot .

Apart from the cage, it’s a total sleeper. I dig it!

It’s half a mile, 805 meters, in 17.7 seconds . This Kadett had an end speed of 289 km/h. That’s 180 mph.
