Never seen one here in UK. Looks good, what is it, front wheel, rear wheel or 4wd?

Is it auto or manual?

Fishman · 14 Nov 2012 at 12:34

Manual, didnt try an auto
Long gears as you would expect.

3rd geared for ~100, 4th for ~140, 5th for ~170 and 6th for ~220 mph.

Wow that is long gearing.

What RPM is it doing at 70 in 6th?

Fishman · 14 Nov 2012 at 14:32

I think its about 1900 rpm for 70 in 6th

Why is it so meh? Interior looks great.

Cheap plastic akin to that found previously in such cars such as my mothers old Vauxhal Corsa C looks great?

Looks fantastic.

Had one pass me whilst walking down the street t'other day. Sound it made was epic...

Each to their own and all that.

I like it:

DTV made some great racers in the 70's.

3:05 onwards..

You can perhaps see why BTCC doesn't hold the same appeal to me now...

MK1 cavalier was my favourite, I actually prefered it to the Manta, which is essentially the same car.

I owned a Manta GTE for about 1 hour, I got it home and it spewed oil all over my dads drive, (I also felt a prat driving it for some reason) I took it straight back, needless to say.

I also had a Nova 1.3 SR for about 6 months.

That gear stick and door leaver are straight out of my mums 10 year old Corsa, as are the vent dials and other stuff, the seats look nice and it doesn't look as bad as a Corsa, but its not on par with say, the Mustang from Ford which would be a similar vehicle in my eyes.
