[Nurburgthing.]

A must have.

OP needs to put some info in the OP.

 

[Joerg]

Here is a report about the 100th start of the VLN-Manta (unfortunately in german)...

Manta B ? yes.

But the cars in that video? All of them into GT6 and GT7 and keep them always in every GT.
I was watching that vid and see the kadett C coupe......more then one.....DROOOOLLL.
Opel GT, the mini corvette, more drooolllll.


Yes, i know, i'm dreaming, but i hope this dream comes reality.

I have four suggestions more for the
"Steinmetz" Opel GT
"Steinmetz" Opel Commodore
Opel Kadett C Coupe
Opel Manta A
Yes..., it will probably remain just a dream...

I'm not german, but: Na wenn wir so anfangen...

Irmscher i400 Opel Manta B ( the wide body, not the normal i200)
Irmscher Ascona B
Kamei Golf 1
Manta A, Jawohl, aber mit irmscher extra aero parts.
Why Irmscher? Irmscher worked closely with Opel on racing parts, Like AMG did for Mercedes ( is now together with Mercedes), Alpina did for BMW, Cosworth did for Ford, etc. etc. etc.
I bet the OP knows and remembers what i mean.


Okay, i continue in english.
There are so many legendary cars from my younger years.
My first car, a Toyota starlet 1984, last starlet with RWD, still used in japan as drift car and here at autocross races.
Ford escort MK1 and MK2

i have to stop, that list is too long.


The only manta i did not like at all .... the Mattig Manta from the movie "Manta Manta".
That was too much, it's missing the retro curves, too round, too much.

Legendary cars, those were the days were cars were made for driving and feeling a car.
Fuel was cheap, you get in the car and drive...I miss those days.


\edit, changed "gas" into "fuel"

We understand us...

This is absolutely what we need.
I would love to take a picture with Gazoo Racing GT86.

After the Nurburgring 24H today, the Manta has completed over 1,000 racing laps since the car first took part in the Nurburgring 24H.

Over 16,000 miles or 25,750 km on just the whole Nurburgring.

This car is living a good life.

What a "Trophy" that would be to acquire!

 

[Harsk100]

Is this car 1986-1988? Is because this car is from 2010....

For race cars, the year of competition applies. Stop being nitpicky.

 

[catamount39]

We NEED the Manta! With fox tail physics.

This car competed on 1986-1988? Is because I only could find pictures from the rally car.

...No? Who/what suggested this car competed then?

 

[Harsk100]

I found the specs:
This Manta is powered by a 1.8 liter engine which gives the car a power of 250 PS (246 HP) and 940 kg. This car is in use since 2002. It also has a 6-Speed Sequential Gearbox.

Maybe OP wants 2010 version because maybe it's faster...

[Skygrasper550]

Ah yes, the Manta. I remember this one getting a lot of camera action in the Nurburgring 24H back in 2014. An epic race car, and a must-have for the series.

*drink*

This article is from May 25th 2010.

And the OP states that the car STILL COMPETES IN THE VLN 24H NURBURGRING so maybe he wants the latest version because it might be better.

Yes, it still competes on VLN.

Last week at the Nurburgring 24h was the last race for the legendary "FOX TAIL", I'd like to have her in GT SPORT or in Gran Turismo 7 ....
