Hi Fabio,
thank you for visiting and commenting (and suggestion); I pointed out the features in the previous post (I'm completing them). ;-)
A warm greeting
Franco

P.S.
In rallies the "Manta 400" version was used which was equipped with another engine (displacement 2400, tuned head):

In rallies it replaced the kadett (not in the hearts of the drivers and the public)
It was still spectacular if well driven

The Manta and the Ford Capri were European-scale versions of the US coupés, however both more fascinating than any similar model today ;)

>>> true! Opel decided to start production of the Manta to compete with the Ford Capri which had a good commercial success.
Thank you Fabio for the pass.

When Opel was a brand with a sporting inclination and titles.
Today they are equipped with French 3 cylinders.
...... And I've said it all......

>>> sad reality :-(
Just think that one of my Manta has traveled (without extraordinary maintenance) 500000 km and is still fully efficient. 8-)

Going back in my memories, the kadett raced before the Manta (the 400) it had to replace the Ascona 400
The first kadetts were 1900 only after 2000
arrived In Italy, thanks to characters like Conrero Carenini
, the "racing" Opel was very popular

@Canonvallo
I 'reactivated' my memory: the Kadett GT/E (1975-1979), 105 ch and top speed 184 km/h, raced in rallies in a period before the Manta.



The Manta 400 replaced the Ascona 400 in 'group B' rallies and was replaced by the Kadett GSi.
Personalities you mentioned (Conrero and Carenini) have contributed greatly to the success, even commercially, of the Opel Sportive!
Thank you for your welcome contribution ;-)

I too remember the Manta Opel in the various Sanremo Rallies.
I started to look and I will deepen at home, the genesis of the posts published on the subject.
Good day,
Massimo

@Maxbottax
@Canonvallo
I have always had a 'passion' for engines and, in my life, I have had three Mantas.
The 'roar' of certain engines and the memory of characters like Conrero and Carenini still rekindles my emotions.
Thank you for your contributions
