16.03 is damn good. We wnt to a show recently where there was a turbo powered 8 valveCarledo wrote:I'm not really offended! You're quite correct, us proper mechanics are a dying breed!
I still think the Cav is an excellent car and far better than the Vectras which followed it. I don't have a Redtop but my 16v 2.0 Gls auto has 137bhp, most of which are still firmly in place after 142k hard miles, she ran a 16.03 at the performance Vauxhall show at Santa Pod in 2008 straight off the street so no slouch and still does 40mpg on a fast motorway run. Whats not to like? If the stock of cars doesn't thin out, they'll never be rare enough to be worth something!

PS Really enjoyed watching Rebecca repeatedly shutting the door on you!
.I had the misfortune to own a Vectra 1800 Arctic so named cos it was slow as a glacier.
We have a hill near us that the Sprint will accelerate to 70mph on and so too will my Mondeo, but the Vectra was reduced to 2nd gear crawl...........ugh far worse than a cavalier and the hateful car sruggled to better 30 mpg which my Mondeo easily does, however we bought a 2.2 Vectra and I did like that.
Yes she did try so hard to stop the Sprint coming through but just like the sunrise there was only going to be one outcome. (if it was not my daugher the chicane would have been it!)
