Title: Interesting, not sure about the 360 BHP bit though (ebay)
Post by: zirk on 05 March 2012, 11:44:36
So since when do the Calibra's chuck out 360 BHP from the rear wheels then!

Saw a rear wheel drive Calibra at Santa Pod some years ago. Did the 1/4 mile at 173mph. I admit though that the only thing to resemble a Calibra was the shell ;D

Sorry mate I don't recall. The engine was around ten litres & it had a massive Nitrous tank where the back seat should be ;D :y
