Here's the first. Back when I started going to watch drag racing around '86 I remember this primered old Opel Kadett that was tubbed with like 14x32 slicks in the back. Seems he ran 9s or 10s with it. That car was so small and so cool it's never left my memory. One day I got a crazy idea and wondered how a PT Opal might look. I figured a V8 would be too heavy and throw off the weight bias I started looking at other options. A 4 banger seemed too small so what's better in an 1800 lb car that Buick imported for us than a Buick 3.8T? 400+ hp and 600+ ft lbs and a whole lotta woohoo! Make it dual purpose- have it tubbed for 335-30-18s for PT duty and 325-50-15's for drag duty. De-tune the boost for autocross and crank it up for 9 second 1/4 mile passes. A couple years back after I drew this I looked around for a Kadett but had zero luck finding one. Now I'm too involved with my wagon and Novas, but maybe one day...
