My Opel Manta was heavily modded, 2.0 16v Opel GSI engine tuned up quite a bit, 1.6 Carlton gearbox as they use the Getrag gearbox with no seals, wax about 200bhp, which I appreciate isn't much today but back then was pretty serious, 0-60 was just over 6secs. It was also painted ford zinc yellow which didn't stand out much, what with that, the flames and the 109 Db it used to run at its not hard to see why I used to get pulled over a lot.
I have to be more sensible nowadays
