PASSION:
Well..I was in love with this car for almost a decade and my quest for a mint conditioned stock Calibra Turbo 4x4 has ended last February.I see at this car as one of the best ever made in the world..a true DTM legend with looks and performance beyond it`s time, yet reliable & practical and an incredible value for money today.
CONDITION & REPAIRS:
The bodywork is still in excellent condition after almost 15 years..no corrosion, no rust, and it hasn`t been repainted.
I changed all the necessary parts : every rubber seal, cam belts, the wires & instalation and off we go.
Turbo, 6 spd transmission, suspension, stock rimes and transfer box are in excellent condition, and the tyres and brake discs were new and replaced by the owner.
PERFORMANCE:
It`s serously, savegely fast off the line with it`s 204 BHP and 4x4 drive, and also very civilized and quiet below 3000 rpm in 6th gear It`s not the easiest car to drive especialy when you rev it above 3000 rpm or go above 200 km/h because when the turbo kicks un you need both hands to get a hold of the power.:)).BMWs, Mercs,GTIs,VTI`s should be often left far behind on the lights:))
