@@rezo786 Kadett GSi is a legend here in ex yugoslavia countries, it was fastest you could get in 90s and even early 00s, sadly you rarely see them nowadays.
That race went exactly the how I saw it back in the day when people drag raced in Ext 5 of Ennerdale. The BM faster of the line, they disappeared into the dip then when you see them again the Boss was in front winning the race. Awesome score settlement video.
the biggest Rivals in Germany is the VW Golf 2 GTI 16v vs. the Opel Kadett GSI 16v or the BMW E30 M3 vs. the Mercedes Benz Evo all of that are great Cars and i think all Car Manufacturers build cool cars in that Time!
I am rebuilding my Kadett 16v at this point in time and seeing this I can not wait to get it back from paint, assemble it and drive it again. Me and my wife tried time and again to let newer cars steal our hearts, but failed to find something that gives us as much fun to drive. It may not be the best handling car, in fact, it takes quite the driver to handle it, but it is at least a car providing honest road feedback and that on its own is very pleasant. You really quite literally feel the road, for better or worse, but we love it for that!
Yeah the Kadett E is a really good car, it`s my first Car and today i have 4 E Kadetts:) I still love it the same way, newer cars can`t get that pure feeling to the driver! Make your Kadett ready for the Street and have some fun with it!!
@FuckTheWorld21 the C26 was a pile of dung compared to other straight sixes from the C family. Underpowered, not RPM-happy, less tuning potential. Aside from that, I'd say I agree with you mate
I used to own one off the fastest superboss in the country ,normally aspirated with a cosworth head ,balanced & blueprinted by tony james ,made 137kw on wheels on the coast,had lots fun with it,eventually modified to ts turbo,made 220 bhp,800m 214km,ph at midvaal,0di strip 257km,ph,back it up 3 times on a blistering hot day ,all this in the early 90s,
Love the Opel kadett. I have had 5 of them over the years. Never a boring minute. Just gear down and your face gets that big smile back. To bad opel stoped making these cars and that amazing engine.
Such an awesome video with such amazing cars. As a young kid, I was infatuated with the 325is. I’d still take it over the SuperBoss because of the rear wheel drive. Much more fun.
Love that. Brings me back to my teen years when you could actually recognise roadgoing cars in Group N racing with Mike Briggs playing bumper cars with the field. Now all we need is the Uno Turbos vs Conquest RSI race. To those asking about the VR6, that was a bit of a different era, would be the E36 325i against those. Keep it up cars.co.za!
SuperBoss is a beast. Excellent vehicle and a dreamer"s dream car to own in my opinion. The BMW is a beautiful ride with an excellent look and sound. Both cars would be lovely to have.
Kadett is even faster in acceleration when the cars are already rolling, the power is so high that the wheels spin on the asphalt, that is why it loses from a standstill, when overtaking it is a pure bomb.
@@poepflater it`s not rattles it`s character:)BMW is always better made than an Opel and it cost a lot more, but back then the Opel engines were simply an absolute power
I was brought here by a weird combination of this channel featured on MSN and the comments section of a JayEmm video about the Astra/Kadett telling me about the Superboss. The laugh at 3:04 is what really gets the thumbs up from me though ☺
its funny to me how people in south affrica call it superboss. When I heard of kadett superboss I thought its some even stronger version but then I googled it and found its the same car as in europe. In europe we just call it kadett gsi....2.0 16V 150hp engine...so yeah its the same car
Love it , I'm a huge fan of Opel , I've owned quite a few of them in the past thirty years . I've had two Opel Kadetts , three Opel Monzas , an Opel Astra Cub shape and now i have an Opel Corsa C 1,4i Sport . I so wish they were still making Opels .
Man!!! Enjoyed this very much... We had loads of fun back in the day on Ontdekkers road with a Supie, whoooooo!!!!! That thing can really put boots to asses!
I had a Gsi in the 80's and those races at Scribante racetrack in PE where the Opels and the BMW's duked it out, brings so much memories. I was an Opel fanatic but switched over to VW .
SENTIMENTAL series tugs my heart; nostalgia of the 90’s and when 97 octane was still an option. A Beemer fan and driver but always have respected the Super Boss. Now let’s please see 200is vs Vr6😅
Great Race, Love both Cars but the E30 is a Legend still my favorite i had a 325i Shadowline ❤❤❤❤ back in the 90s we used to go to Dices on Sunday nights at Americano Roadhouse those years was about the BMW 325iS and the Opel SuperBoss miss those days.
When super boss use to pull up in the drags . Everyone use to be scared to race the car . BMW got the rev sound. But you can't beat the stock idle of a superboss sound .
Ag no man. My brother's ex-roommate's tjommie's sister's step-dad's uncle's china had a moerse fast 325is and it used to klap those Opels. Or maybe it was a 316. I'm not sure hey.
I loved this video. I am sure if Mr Briggs wasn't jumping around he would have probably launched better and opened a bigger gap. My heart always belonged to a Superboss and always will.
Question was the motor of the super boss tuned to the max ? , cos u dont see much around compared to the 325is , which means most of them wore out easily
We had to tighten our seatbelts but it was a great race. Well done to our Superboss!
Super proud of you Opel, I'm still shocked
The best damn Opel ever made and proudly South African too.
@@yashinlallchander I'll drink to that !! ✌🏻
what happened to you guys

Yes that true I remember the Dale drags
I've always liked old Opel's.. I currently have an Opel Calibra 2.0 16v in almost perfect condition... What a beautiful car it is...
C20XE or X20XEV?
They just don't make the Super Boss like they use to. That car brings back so many childhood memories. Such a legendary car ❤️
iF FACTORY dont do it, we do it.
Matias Racing Engines
Ask who is the boss at 10.000rpm
The sound of the 325iS was an absolute winner.
I cant get over it. Yes it lost but that sound though. They don't sound like that no more
Indeed. The 325iS has a legendary sound.
A pitty the sound comes out the back and Opel owners could never hear it. Hahaha
More bark than bite!
Love that 325is. Thanks for great content man
Oh my goodness! That’s gotta be video of the year. Thank you for that!
Thanks so much! We're so glad you enjoyed it :)
Goosebumps all over. The 325is sounds heaven. The only time when I didn't care who won. I love bothe the Superboss and Gusheshe
Best drag race ever !!!
the biggest Rivals in Germany is the VW Golf 2 GTI 16v vs. the Opel Kadett GSI 16v
or the BMW E30 M3 vs. the Mercedes Benz Evo

Finally!!! Argument settled, I was nervous though.
Suppie whipped the IS in the 90s never a doubt the real king of the streets is the Suppie

It's very unpredictable with alot of torque steer..I had a 200i 16v Opel monza, c20xe and a coscast cylinder head..lots of fun,brutal sound.
Yeah the Kadett E is a really good car, it`s my first Car and today i have 4 E Kadetts:) I still love it the same way, newer cars can`t get that pure feeling to the driver! Make your Kadett ready for the Street and have some fun with it!!
C20XE - Still the best engine ever made by Opel.
C20NE 115hp 8v wins the durability awards for sure!
Z20LET by far superior
@FuckTheWorld21 the C26 was a pile of dung compared to other straight sixes from the C family. Underpowered, not RPM-happy, less tuning potential. Aside from that, I'd say I agree with you mate
Very nearly brought me to tears thinking about these two battling it out at Kyalami in the early 90's when I was a kid.
That race was long overdue. Nice vid
Love what you guys are doing. 2 SA legends! Superboss forever!
That's how all the races I ever did in them went. BMW did have the legs down the highway past Rigel and Atterbury Offramps though 😁👌🏼
Waterkloof ?
Thank you so much for the video. This takes me back to Odendaalsrus and the Goldfields Raceway - the time of legends!
Gotta love the sound of that 325iS.. I love it. It may have lost this race but I still love it. My childhood hero car that. Beautiful
This video gave me goosebumps 😁 Used to own a Superboss back in the day😁😁😁 Great car!!!
That Jeremy Clarkson grin you give when the superboss wins.

Sad what became of Opel though. True legends, both these cars. ✊🏽

Under that laughter of defeat is a man in pain wanting revenge.
I came all the way from Cape Town Mitchells plain to watch this legends !!!!
This is such a dope video to shoot in this current day and age😍
Legends, all 4 of them! Great video!
Michael Briggs has such a huge personality, great video
Such an awesome video with such amazing cars.
As a young kid, I was infatuated with the 325is.
I’d still take it over the SuperBoss because of the rear wheel drive. Much more fun.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Any chance we can see A MK3 VR6 and 325is drag race next so we can settle all the debates
Appreciate you guys! A track test would be super interesting!
To all people abusing the word „Epic” -> THIS is epic 😝😁
That put a HUGE smile on my face! Great race!
Great clip guys- well done!!

someone understands at least, not all is lost lol
I'm sure that the Supie would give a 2.8 Vr6 a beating.
SuperBoss is a beast. Excellent vehicle and a dreamer"s dream car to own in my opinion. The BMW is a beautiful ride with an excellent look and sound. Both cars would be lovely to have.
2 legends finally meet again at a track this was the best race I have ever seen #but end of the day the boss is always the boss
Opel power!!
Well done. Still the BOSS after all these years!!!
Tears of joy. The best era ever and we experienced it.

Mike briggs it was great seeing you in action you made me a opel fan sir group n was surely the heyday of SA motor racing in my opinion.
GSi does it for me!! Grew up with Opel.
Brings back such good memories ...
I lived at the track when these guys were racing at Aldo...That Super Boss sure lived up to its rep.
How can you guys tease us like this ! 3min of pure bliss please keep content coming!
amazing work, this was long overdue.
This was epic, can't wait for track tests. Hands down the superboss was a killer in its time... Still very respectable in today's standards as well.
cant wait to see the the track video since that is what these legends were made for
Two legends! Both the cars and the drivers😎
We would like to see 325is vs VW VR6
Didn't need the race to tell me the Superboss is faster, but any excuse to make another video with it is good enough for me

Opel Kadett is the best! Greetings from Germany!!! ❤️
I hit like before watching the video. this is going to be "nostalgically" epic
Awesome video! I hope there will be a vid of the 325iS evo ii taking on the Superboss

How about Gusheshe vs Vura(VR6)
all 4 legends. awesome video
Epic, this was just epic.
nice race... those cars are classics, well done to the 2 racers legends
This puts the age old rivalry to an end for me
I’m so impressed with that Opel in this dice I always thought the iS would run away in a straight line 😮😊😃
i love opel kadet❤❤
Did the Beemer driver slip a gear on 3rd .???
you're not the only one that saw this brother
@@jayfromthesouth8107 then clearly this is a dumb video.....lol.
2 legendary cars of SA 👌
Need an Opel Kadett GSI badly, but my Calibras will do for now :D
LEGENDARY Opel
This was first and last time opel was faster than bmw😁🤣
Excellent video!
i think the Kadett goes straight away to the 5.Gear rew limiter
Wow I remember watching these guys while growing up. My hero was Terry Moss though 😁
We missed your drag races 🏁 that you use to impressed us.
Where is the 2,5l 16v evo 190e? Take some more 90s classics in the mix pls, great videos!
When super boss use to pull up in the drags . Everyone use to be scared to race the car .
BMW got the rev sound. But you can't beat the stock idle of a superboss sound .
Wow.. Legendary indeed. I'd love to see VW Citi 1.8R, RunX RSI, Mazda 323 200e and Nissan Sentra 200 STI one day.
That was unexpected. The Boss is the Boss.
Is there any Circuit race ?

And when you wakeup
Haha i won 2 times with my kadett gsi from the same 325 in the Netherlands
What?
Opel don't go down mineshafts.
I thought the Kadett was turbocharged, hence I voted for it, thought it was like the 200ts, very impressed
I loved this video. I am sure if Mr Briggs wasn't jumping around he would have probably launched better and opened a bigger gap. My heart always belonged to a Superboss and always will.
