compares. Opel Manta vs Ford Capri - finish line. Well, after some time, it's time for a summary of the first comparison, especially since the topics for short artykułyznów missing, and the longer I do not want to write, and besides, no one tells me no. The eighties brought us the fashion for plastic bumpers. Not very pretty, but practical and cheaper to repair possible.
Unfortunately, the plastic replaced the chrome and other locations, but unfortunately this also applies to our present-day heroes.
start from Capri. Already at first glance described the impact of kitsch. It is also worth attention to the wheels that complement the same image. Generally is not bad, much worse than chrome, but as much better than today's effort on the new plastic cars. Special version was so much that I feel sorry for the time to replace them. One conspicuous and it looks pretty good. It is
Tickford Turbo engine 2.8-liter fuel-injected power of 205 hp. As for the engines themselves - their range is quite interesting. Weakest is 1.3 OHV 70 hp. The engines were also available R4 SOHC unit with power from 70 to 101 ponies, all of the carburetor. Traditionally, the Capri were also available widlaste sixes. The smallest is a 90-horse 2.0, a list of more "traditional" also included 2.3 and 3.0. The most interesting, however, these units were based on a block of 2.8, the weaker injection naturally aspirated unit generating 160 hp, more powerful turbine about 28 hp more. All had a timing OHV V6. In this generation, first appeared in the automatic transmission.
Manta B2 is unfortunately not the same. The car was wyżarty to taste everything in it was beautiful. It is all plastic, has just two engines (1.9 and 2.0, 90 hp 110 hp) and is approaching its end. Nevertheless, as Capri remains 500 times better than current cars. Sad is that B2'ka Photography was not in the palette even more interesting engine. Opel, however, also developed a special edition of B-doubles. He joined forces with Cosworth, and Irmscher, which resulted in Phase I. The Manta 400 was nothing but a road version of the racing variety Manty (Phase II). 2.0 liters to 2.4 liters rozwiercony now generates 144 hp. Version of the rally was almost identical to the equipment, the propulsion unit, although the same, but there was definitely stronger (greater exertion) and the same body type a bit lighter, because the variety used in racing lightweight and more durable materials. Manta i400 road version appeared on the market in quantities of 245 pieces required to obtain approval. Sam Irmscher also constructed its editing, trace the success of the six pots B1, B2 any, implemented in the engine with 180 hp, this time it was a unit with a capacity of three liters. Manta configured reached a hundred in 8 seconds and maximum speed oscillated at 225 km / h. Interestingly, the vehicle also had a mechanism for limited slip differential.
This is the last part of the duel, the winner of Capri. Overall But I am more fit Manta. She has always been more geared to the customers closer to the then prevailing requirements in Europe. Capri is a substitute for the United States on our continent, some people say about him, "Spirit: Stallion of Europe." Personally I think that is something in it.
