Drag Race: BMW 325is Gusheshe vs Opel Kadett Superboss

In this video we pitch two legendary local cars against one another, the iconic BMW (E30) 325iS "Gusheshe" and the Opel Kadett GSi "Superboss". But it's not only the cars that are legends in this video. Behind the steering wheels are none other than local racing superstars Deon Joubert and Mike Briggs, who used to race these cars in Group N in the early '90s, with Mike winning three championships in the Opel on a trot. But which car is faster in a traditional drag race? Is it the rear-wheel drive, 2.7L straight-six 145kW BMW, or the front-wheel drive 125kW, 2,0L Opel Kadett Superboss? Place your bets!

We had to tighten our seatbelts but it was a great race. Well done to our Superboss!

[jachinchetty]

Ahhh now this is a YouTube Channel South Africa has to be proud of👍

That race went exactly the how I saw it back in the day when people drag raced in Ext 5 of Ennerdale. The BM faster of the line, they disappeared into the dip then when you see them again the Boss was in front winning the race. Awesome score settlement video.

I've always liked old Opel's.. I currently have an Opel Calibra 2.0 16v in almost perfect condition... What a beautiful car it is...

They just don't make the Super Boss like they use to. That car brings back so many childhood memories. Such a legendary car ❤️

The sound of the 325iS was an absolute winner.

C20XE - Still the best engine ever made by Opel.

[mohammedhoosenebrahim]

[localcarvideosmore]

Goosebumps all over. The 325is sounds heaven. The only time when I didn't care who won. I love bothe the Superboss and Gusheshe

[BuhleMpakama]

Finally!!! Argument settled, I was nervous though.

I used to own one off the fastest superboss in the country, normally aspirated with a cosworth head, balanced & blueprinted by tony james, made 137kw on wheels on the coast, had lots fun with it, eventually modified to ts turbo, made 220 bhp, 800m 214km, ph at midvaal, 0di strip 257km, ph, back it up 3 times on a blistering hot day, all this in the early 90s,

[mikedv]

Oh my goodness! That’s gotta be video of the year. Thank you for that!

[janrobinson]

Very nearly brought me to tears thinking about these two battling it out at Kyalami in the early 90's when I was a kid.

[mprinsgsxr]

That's how all the races I ever did in them went. BMW did have the legs down the highway past Rigel and Atterbury Offramps though 😁👌🏼

I am rebuilding my Kadett 16v at this point in time and seeing this I can not wait to get it back from paint, assemble it and drive it again. Me and my wife tried time and again to let newer cars steal our hearts, but failed to find something that gives us as much fun to drive. It may not be the best handling car, in fact, it takes quite the driver to handle it, but it is at least a car providing honest road feedback and that on its own is very pleasant. You really quite literally feel the road, for better or worse, but we love it for that!

Sad what became of Opel though. True legends, both these cars. ✊🏽

[gazg]

Love what you guys are doing. 2 SA legends! Superboss forever!

[kamogelophahla]

Gotta love the sound of that 325iS.. I love it. It may have lost this race but I still love it. My childhood hero car that. Beautiful

[wynandsteyn]

Thank you so much for the video. This takes me back to Odendaalsrus and the Goldfields Raceway - the time of legends!

[kennykarlsson]

Love the Opel kadett. I have had 5 of them over the years. Never a boring minute. Just gear down and your face gets that big smile back. To bad opel stoped making these cars and that amazing engine.
