I personally don't like the yellow lights but aside from that it is stunning! Driving it on the Autobahn must be a blast...and that road is NICE! Our roads here aren't even that nice 10 minutes after they're done.

thanks for all the compliments on the car. I was sure some would disagree with the eyebrows, and lights, and kidney, but each has thier own personal taste. I feel it gives the car a fatter- meaner look.
Yes, the autobahns here are really nice, I come from chicago, and the car wouldnt last 10 min on even the best roads there.
If I hadn't realized that you live in Germany, going by that first picture, I'd say you were in Wisconsin. Amazing how similar they are. German heritage (and beer) is thick in Wisconsin. It's apparent to me why now.
I know, I used to go to wisconsin alot when i was a kid(uncle owns a really big dairy farm.) My german wifes sister and a bunch of my family live in Michigan, and we go there alot too, It looks alot like germany there too. Germany is really beautiful, and it depends where you go in germany- the landscape turns from flat to mountains.
the car has so much done to it it would take forever for me too remember what ive put into it over the years. but as far as the motor goes:
it is a non cat 2.3 origional 200 hp
evo II cams done by the prev. owner
custom chip
3,46 rear diff W/ euro dog leg trans
straight piped exhaust with a hollow muffler-- to loud for my taste, but still kinda cool.
as far as performance thats about it. the car has 128,000 km on it- really low I think for a 1986( one of the first 300 built)
the rims are 8.5x17 with 215/40/17, rears are 9.5x17 with 245/35/17 BBS RS's with goodyear eagle F1 tires
I loved the look with no centercaps-- felt it looked more purposeful(race) but got tired of all the people asking me where the centercaps were, so I bought a new set, looks really nice now too.
hope you all like it, it only comes out a couple times a year if I am lucky--- It is my retirement plan, I figure when I am 65 it should be worth a small fortune, if i can keep it really nice. also I am so afraid of someone hitting the car, germans are pretty inpacient(sp) drivers, and the car was never in an accident before.
ohh yeah, it is such a great feeling blasting down the autobahn in it, the weather was nice, and the car was running great-- shouldve seen most of the peoples faces as we were passing them!!!!!:)
the color is a european (opel) GM color its called neptuneturkis metallic. translation is--- neptune turquise metallic. looks really nice kinda a factory flip flop blue/ green/ and looks black after sunset.
hey Mike, whereabouts in Michigan?
My wife sister lives just outside of grand rapids,byron center, and my lumberjack family side is from manistee-- deep in the sticks.
