>More than 3 million Commodores where sold in Australia How did Opel manage to sell so many shitty Opels to Australians?
>>28204768homo 14" fit just roll to end and are next to nothing to replace with facrory made ones
>>28204768australians figured out how to put glorious pushrods in them. germans were confused by pushrods and couldn't figure them out. Opel tried an LS in the Omega, but failed at getting the car to run properly. the smarter australian engineers figured it out, and as far as i'm concerned, the Opel and Australian platforms might as well be two completely different cars. after all, you can LS swap one, but not the other.
>shitty Opel'sJust like wet water
you're going to be surprised but australians are genuinely a very low IQ people. they have never produced a single funny comedian despite being, on average, quite funny people - they just lack the intellectual wherewithal to process such things internally as an exportable product. as a people they are dangerously low in intelligent thought and so any dilligent foreign company has learned to corner the auto market there.
>>28204768Australia has fairly bad roads, der opel could be made amenable to them>>28204873iirc there is not much room for the exhaust headers
>>28204768australian here there's some absolute deadshit retard dropkick fuckheads over herethey've moved onto duel cab utes though
>>28204768What a pile of shit. Probably better than walking I suppose
Most stolen car in aus lolFalcon turbos mog them in every way >>28204898Can confirm I bent a k frame in one of those the chassis is a wet noodle
>>28204873Opel did have C2 V8 Corvette engines in the KAD Opels dude:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Diplomat

>>28204768up until the alloytech they were reasonably low tech and built for the conditions. most 8 year olds in australian outer suburbs can rebuild a commodore from scratch
>>28204898Kino badge.
>>28204873Strange, considering the best engine ever offered in an opel-commodore platform was a sohc l6.
>>28209099Are you really going to argue an RB30 is better than a LS1 that makes double the hp stock with the same weight and unlimited potential? I love I6's too but not enough to move the car's CoG forward by 2 cylinders
>>28204768I miss when corporate overlords actually let Opel do cool shit.>>28204873The Diplomat was available with a 327 Chevy in the 1960s and 1970s.

>>28210099How is the 4 liter irmscher?
>>28210213looks like a german barra, neat!
>>28204768Because Australians are fucking cool that's why lmfao
>>28210452Hard to disagree.
>>28210213It’s reliable and very tune able, Lotus used part from that engine for the Lotus Opel Omega/Carlton.Can’t find it on Google right now (cause Google search sucks nowadays), it was a proper documentation about all the engineering that went into the car.The OG 3.0 24v Dual Ram had tons of issues under boost, so they used the Irmscher version because it was strengthened version.Sad that Irmscher who was to Opel/Vauxhall and some older Holdens what Brabus was to Mercedes stopped being part of the company anymore.They still build shit, but it’s mostly mediocre body kits and ok looking wheels.
>>28204768They are based
>>28204768Holden took all the Opel garbage out.
