onetirefire1...true that. That's racing for real...just would of been so kool to seen 7's after shipping the car over to the US & doing the whole drag week run. Crazy love for racing there...so kool!
Simon Corbett...this is real racing! Fast & Furious is Hollywood bullshit. Mad props to these guys...hope to see them next yr & the Stockholm open too. Think they've won like 6 of those. So kool...don't look old enough to build such a badass ride!! Anyone who can build a 8.01 car & do dragweek r amazing motorheads/mechanics/drivers!!
props to these Swedes... not only the engineering behind their ascona but also their driving skills. this opel was piloted by 2 different drivers and CONSISTENTLY hit low 8's. awesome vid... i prefer driving at the track but when a spectator i prefer street races. this video is an exception.
I respect them a lot for flying over, dragging, having a badass car. but holy shit their English.. not many people from here can ship their shit over there, compete, and do a whole youtube show in process. Well done Swedes. Well done.
I am 99% sure I saw this car at Orlando Speed World on 9-16-18. I am not sure how dude missed the wall 3 times and still ran a 7 second pass. I was sitting in the water box with my car and had to slap myself to get started with my burnout. What a car/team/driver!
Did they ever get it into the sevens before the went back over the pond? Obviously not on Drag Week but I'm sure they stuck around for a few days afterwards.
Nope :( they tried some drag radials at Orlando Speed Dragway just for fun, They managed to get the cars Visa extended so the car will stay in Usa until next summer :)
QsEExTr3me I would guess that with it being pump gas friendly (at least with the timing retarded and low rpm street driving)and at 540ci it should be around 800 on the motor and 1200 on the bottle with the 400 shot.
I don't want to see this car race the street outlaws, I want to see the street outlaws do the stockholm open streetrace! NO TRAILERS ALLOWED!! NO ROAD/TRACK PREPPING!! Just cold, dirty asphalt!
Winner of this years Stockholm Open was a 3500hp pro mod, so the tube chassis are soon going to take over here as well... Still, most of the OKC would have a really hard time on cold, unprepped blacktop asphalt. There are no set spots here, you run it where its possible. So the 4000hp 6 second turbo cars from Street outlaws etc would have to run very de-tuned. They would do good, but would need quite a bit of time to learn the surface
It is, GM owned both Opel and Holden so the Torana and the Ascona a was pretty much the same, look at the VK Commodore compared to Rekord E2 which also are the same.
The car is from Sweden but yeah it was probably built in Germany although I don't think there is that much left of the original car except for the body.
What he is not saying is that he brought the car to do some real racing, we will see if that footage ends up here. The car is basically built to compend in Stockholm open, you cant drag the car not once even after 6 races in one night, its enduransce strett racer car, not 402 car
Niin ja sen sanonnan väärinkäyttäjät tekevät hyvin selväksi etteivät ainakaan autoista ymmärrä mitään. "Viisi kirjainta rengas ja nuoli, siitä alkoi autoilijan huoli."
"Due to the unfavorable DMark/U.S. Dollar exchange rate, after 1975, all Opels in Buick showrooms were replaced by Japanese-built Isuzu Gemini models wearing Opel badges." It is not a swedish car or Mercia or japanese. IT IS A GERMAN CAR...Dir hat man wohl ins Gehirn geschissen und das Umrühren vergessen
Nah, it's an Opel Ascona, from the german manufacturer. However, the design was basically made by GM and as such they also shared it with Holden. That's why it looks so similar.
I really wanted them to get the 7, but they definitely made their presence known at drag week! Those guys are awesome.
Damn...I wanted to see a 7.99@170mph!!! So close...mad props to these guys!👍✌😎🔧🔩🔨🍻
Me too. But then I was like... well... it aint some shitty Hollywood movie with a Happy End... but real life racing. Which is cooler in every aspect.

This car would be a fucking money maker in bracket racing. It's pretty fucking consistent.
I respect them a lot for flying over, dragging, having a badass car. but holy shit their English.. not many people from here can ship their shit over there, compete, and do a whole youtube show in process.

what a beast! so sad they didn't get into 7s.
Lasse Samstrøm Yeah, but they were so close! 8.01
I think it needs another kit
Damn, almost in the 7s! So close!

Le0nard0 opel ascona
Did they ever get it into the sevens before the went back over the pond? Obviously not on Drag Week but I'm sure they stuck around for a few days afterwards.
Nope :( they tried some drag radials at Orlando Speed Dragway just for fun, They managed to get the cars Visa extended so the car will stay in Usa until next summer :)
No never broke into the 7's but the car is still there and it will stay for drag week next year :D
what a mad little car
How much power does it make?
QsEExTr3me I would guess that with it being pump gas friendly (at least with the timing retarded and low rpm street driving)and at 540ci it should be around 800 on the motor and 1200 on the bottle with the 400 shot.
I wanna see this car whoop steet outlaws ass
REXABILLY 032202 it won't
Its not fast enough...
I don't want to see this car race the street outlaws, I want to see the street outlaws do the stockholm open streetrace! NO TRAILERS ALLOWED!! NO ROAD/TRACK PREPPING!! Just cold, dirty asphalt!

Doggepp 400hp? ☹️
what a cool ride
Proud swede here!:)
machine gun mode?? wow i think it suit very well..
"Drag beak" 0:49
this looks like a torana a little bit.
Homebrand Bleach two guesses where GMH got the inspiration haha
Like an LC Torry and TC Gemmy combined.
It is, GM owned both Opel and Holden so the Torana and the Ascona a was pretty much the same, look at the VK Commodore compared to Rekord E2 which also are the same.
love big engines in tiny cars!
I guess this is the "Lycksele Ascona" that was sold, and these two are the ones that bought it?
Roger D yup it is
My Summer Car!
Isn't Opel a German vehicle? I'm sure the title may be referring to the driver, but if it's referring to the car, Opel is the German version of Chevy
The car is from Sweden but yeah it was probably built in Germany although I don't think there is that much left of the original car except for the body.
In the UK, Opel is Vauxhall. It is the brand of the car not the driver! xD
The brand is german, but the car and the guys are from sweden
Hajrah Farooq NO. It is a brand like Ford or Chevy etc
MrPontiacpower I figured that. I just wasn't sure if the title was referring to the car as Swedish because I know Opel is a German car brand
Idk if hes got baffles in those headers when he driving on the street but if he doesnt i dont see how he gets very far
JMckeown6 why
he does. you can see them in the turn ups at one point
Damn no way 801, really wanted to see the 7.

Ympyrä ja nuoli, siitä alkaa huoli
Käväseppä kattomassa naapurin sedän Volvon keulamerkkiä ja tule sitten kertomaan että missä Opelista löytyy nuoli. Mind blown?
näinhän se oikeasti on mutta opelista sitä ollaan iät ajat käytetty
Niin ja sen sanonnan väärinkäyttäjät tekevät hyvin selväksi etteivät ainakaan autoista ymmärrä mitään. "Viisi kirjainta rengas ja nuoli, siitä alkoi autoilijan huoli."
Too bad he couldn't get into the 7's with turning it up.
An Opel is made by Buick and Isuzu. That's American and Japanese. What's Swedish about it?
The crew... And the flag in the rear of the Opel... And by the way.. Opel is 100% German!
"Due to the unfavorable DMark/U.S. Dollar exchange rate, after 1975, all Opels in Buick showrooms were replaced by Japanese-built Isuzu Gemini models wearing Opel badges." It is not a swedish car or Mercia or japanese. IT IS A GERMAN CAR...Dir hat man wohl ins Gehirn geschissen und das Umrühren vergessen
ruggugglan Många jänkare tycks tro att alla bilar är amerikanska..
Jänkare är allmänt jävligt osluga haha
thats a pommie holden
If another person was driving it would run 9's
All that wrenching and they could just buy a Tesla P100 with Lewdicrous mode! 2.5 sec. to 60
one run peddling that would fix any man's should he be lacking of testosterone.
'' street car'' aka fix every 10 miles or so car.
MidShipCivic So you're saying they fixed in 100 times? Don't be so butthurt that your Honda will never compare to this car.
josh g6et damn
MidShipCivic man, why so much butt hurt
josh g6et Only stupid like you would come in and take the comment literally...
MidShipCivic drag oriented
Mang var schmal på den här tiden
Its actually an Australian Holden Torana
must be the sweedish name
Nah, it's an Opel Ascona, from the german manufacturer. However, the design was basically made by GM and as such they also shared it with Holden. That's why it looks so similar.
