Hoi vrienden



I went to a "high speed oval" yesterday here in South Africa (1800m above sea level). I managed to do 221km/h in my stock OPC! What a great day, plenty of amazing cars!



The oval is 3km long, with two 400m straights and banked corners. I put the video on the OPC page on facebook (hope the link works), but will try get it onto youtube tonight.

Here is a photo of my car at the end of the day.

@wim-v6: That is something I would love to do, take a run on the Autobahn. Nice speed there!



My speedometer said 250km/h but the true speed was 221.



We actually had a policeman there with is laser speed trapping equipment, and he couldn't read some of the cars (specifically the matt black cars).



I wanted to take a longer and better video, but most of the time I was holding on for my dear life. It is really scary when you are passenger and someone else is driving your car at 200 on a corner :)

It's always Scary when somone alse is driving your car really fast...



i always say, i'l better break it myself.



This was the just not yet the top speed of mij Old Very stock Vectra-B 1996 2.5 V6 manual gearbox, with mudflapss :D



My speedometer gives less speed than real when i'm driving over the 200km/h

Very nice! Opel V6 - we don't get any here :(



Up in Johannesburg we need turbo cards, our altitude is 1800m above sea. NA cars lose about 15% power :shock:

I think the drag around the mudflapss @ 200+ kph might slows you down Willem :jerry



I can remember 3 years ago your speedo shows higher speeds, even above 250 !

but you guys have a stock Astra F with C20LET and 4 & 5 doors body's with authentic GSI skirts etc..

Weird actually, as the GSI has proven a very popular version here in Western Europe.

I bet Opel/GM should have done great business when they had these here on the pricelists as well back in the ninetees.

Oh the classic 200ts! Yes we were lucky with that :) Those cars are amazing. They get more and more rare every day.



We only get the 1.4t, 1.6, and 1.6t in the Astra J - I am very upset about it. Saw a 2.0cdti Astra J in London when I was there in April.



What are your thoughts on the Astra J?
