I'm way more into Fords than Vauxhalls... but, I really like the Cav GSi/Turbo.


Cheers,
Grant

Cav Gsi was an amazing car back in the day, not much else in 1991 could match:
7 ish seconds to 60
130mph+ top speed
40mpg
and can carry 4/5 adults plus some luggage


Really cool all rounder

I reconise the blue Nova lol, I sold the Cav to a kid in Seaham but he stuck neon washer jets, chrome petrol cap, undercar neons etc, basicly spoiled it

Really cool all rounder
but they didn't stop or corner as well as most other things, for my sins i've had a few vx's and i have to say that if they made the rest of the car as good as their engines, they'd have been onto a winner

mind you, it was the difference between paying Ł3k for a 2wd gsi or Ł8k for a 3 door way way back in 92/3 and the cossie won by a hairs breadth, otherwise i'd be in the wrong wheel drive camp now
