0-60 in 4.8? That's impressive...

That's what I said when I found out about the car. It doesn't look like it weighs a whole lot.

The tyres look pretty beefy too. A genuinely decent mid 70s 'muscle car', that's rare.

My only gripe is that it doesnt have a V8.

And this one is clearly more successful. Have it merged.

These things should come in a search and they aren't.

I kind of know this car. It was built here in Brazil and had, as said, Chevrolet (Opala's) powertrain. It doesn't weigh a lot, as it's body is made from composite (GRP), but it certainly won't make 0-60mph in under 5s.
I mean, with that engine, although with some tuning to reach those 170hp, it is utterly impossible to reach 60mph in under 5s. My optimistic guess would be it does in around 8s, no less than that.

Don't worry! You've done the important job of bringing the car up!
