Did anyone get any pics of the Chevy powered Granada or even a vid of it in action?

Well it used to be a twin turbo rover V8

times quoted from the man himself off passionford.........

My best was 11.50 @ 132mph with a crap 2.1s 60ft.

Top speed was a damn impressive 183mph for something with the aerodynamics of a brick.

Driven over 400miles round trip to and from the event, as a proper road car should be, coming over from Northern Ireland.


I'm well chuffed

first year and well pleased.
It did previously have a 4.6 twin turbo Rover V8, which by comparison with the new engine, was crap.
Current engine is a 5.7 LS1, as used in new Vette, Holden Monaro etc etc. GM's new workhorse.
Obviously its slightly modified with a blower for a little extra performance


Where's the vids ???

I cant see that happening anytime soon....

having clocked 183, I now want to see 190
Well, if an Impreza can do 190+, then surely a 1980 granada can do it ??

I'm also sure I can get a 10s run out of it with some more work.

Anyone any video footage ??

With their awesome aerodynamics there's no reason why not I took loads or pictures but no videos It looked seriously impressive on the handling circuit too
