Whats the Rosberg connection ? Did he drive one in DTM ? He was one of my favourite F1 drivers back in the day,very brave,aggressive but always fair. Won the title in 82,although he only won one race that year.82 was a very strange year for F1 though.

Keke Rosberg has driven Calibra DTM in 1993 and 1994 with others pilots. After this, he made his team, The "Team Rosberg" and managed many pilots. There was an other team created in 1996, the "Team Joest" with Cliff sponsor and the Pilot Manuel Reuters who won the Championship in october 1996. In 1994, Opel Produced DTM & Rosberg Calibra with limited edition and Cliff model in 1996 available with limited edition.

I remember that Keke Rosberg won the title of F1 with points after accident of Gilles Villeneuve and Didier Pironi. It shows that it was a regular pilot.

i fitted a 3.0 lump to mine with a lightened flywheel it was a cool car and went well

Of course. Simply the 2,5 with lightened flywheel and the six gear box of the Calibra Turbo it's already furious and as powerful than a Calibra Turbo. I imagine on a 3.0  :o

I used to have a 3.0 Cavalier.

It did shift (in a straight line), but being Wrong Wheel Drive, it had pretty useless power.  Far too heavy over the front wheels for handling purposes.  And that is coming from a massive fan of the MkIII Cav/Calibra.  Best car to date I have ever owned (all things considered) was a 2.0 8v (C20NE) Cav Diplomat.

I did another conversion last year for some one with a 3.2 and lightened flywheel - it was featured in total vauxhall magazine - nice car and the best V6 (54deg) we built
