I once was in an Opel Omega taxi. The madman behind the wheel took it up to 130km/h on an 80km/h highway. He would have loved this.

If you do the math on this one, they are familiy but with two different companies.....
I believe anders ringstad also worked with couple of jenspeed cosworth engines.

1000 hp is only something for street racing or dragracing what is the story on the pontiac??
Anyway how cool would it be to swap corvette c6 z06 running into opel omega that would be a good very good sleeper.

There is alot of stories on the Pontiac,but here are some specs on it....

1986 Ponitac Trans Am
1407 hk
0-100km/t: 2,23sec
0-200km/t: 5,55sec
0-300km/t: 12,92sec
394.2 km/t best top speed set in the rain on Mercedes test track in Papenburg
2025 kg including driver.
The 1407 hk figure is that recorded whit race of pump fuel?]
Holy fuck 394 km/h is faster than a mclaren f1
And the accelration figures are on par with some of the fastest skylines in japan and one in the uk the current record holder for 0-300 km/h.

The trans am looks like a real sleeper until you step on gas.
I read they are competing in the silver state classic.
