They'd probably go quite fast if you pushed it to the top ao a hill and let it roll down, into a lamp post.

why would you want to do that? remind me what engine you have in your car?

Mantas are legendary retro cars

if u want to find out about them go to migweb.co.uk they are very knowledgeable

The 2 litre has 115 bph and is multipoint 8V.

Remember that this is a car from 1984 and then all the cars were with carbs

This is what happens when people are fitting a 2 litre
They don't respect the 12 8v annymore.
For me a corsa stays a corsa weither a 1.0 or a 2.0

no its a comment in jest FFS

do you see 1800ed takin offence to it?

fair enought i am not inot all the bodykitting and slapping filler onto corsas but if i see something that has genuinely had a lot of work put into it i will respect it.

Anyways i do belive he didnt respect mantas at some point in this thread...

just my 2pence worth

Wouldnt this greatly reduce the velocity of any given vehicle!!

I was being rude about the car, cos it's not my favorite.

because 2/3 of new cars are not cars!!!!

they are shite little boxes with tiny engines which are more worried about being quiet and smelling nice rather then getting you somewhere quicker!!!

I really like the car (remember that its from 1984), but in Belgium there are a lot of tuned mantas, so I would never buy one.

Rather go for a manta A or an opel GT but they are rare

I did not intend to state that mantas are slow! its just that most vehicles made today are slower then what they used to be! personally i like mantas, a desent classic!
