A couple of strokes worth of Direct Injection with her would do me some good...

Cool!
Bookmarked it.
Thanks, Elsie!
Oh, no, you're missing out on a lot of fun cars! ;-)
An who can forget the Deux Chevaux!
Two Opel GTs?
Can anyone say, “Project Time!”

If you really want to go wild & crazy, here are a few ideas:

Nope...
4 1/2!
If you wanna go fast and straight; then I guess one could stuff a V8 in one, but for better driveabilty, a V6 (aluminum block if possible) takes a LOT of weight off of the nose.)
I’ve always wondered about opening up the trunk area and putting a front wheel drive engine back there; relocating the gas tank to the front.
Thanks for that link, Elsie. I have done tables of several types successfully using HTML tags longhand, but that will be useful some time or other, I suppose. I, too, have bookmarked it.
I find that the pre /pre tag works just fine for almost all applications I need... can just copy and paste - the most important part of pre is that it forces a fixed-width font, and also forces keeping multiple spaces. That allows pretty simple typing of tables by hand, or simple adjustment of columns after a copy/paste operation.
Bwana- I flew the LookingGlass mission (airborne command post) in SAC - EC-135s mostly (refueling as both receiver and tanker) though also remained current in KCs and supersonic T-38s.
(Not sure where supersonic fits in that scheme of things)
Not meaning to flippant or irreverent, but remember, the Lord said, “...lo, I am with you always...”. Matt 28:20
Also, “...the Spirit of God was hovering...” Gen 1:2
Helicopter: a collection of spare parts flying in loose formation, beating the air into submission!
I suspect the flat-4 engine out of one of those new Subaru/Scion RWD cars would be perfect for the Opel GT. Low center of gravity, no problem with hood clearance and 200 hp without a turbo. Or, if you're more ambitious - the entire AWD drivetrain out of an Impreza. Upgrade to WRX specs later and really make the trees get all blurry.
Heh, I had a car that looked like a Fiat Topolino when I was younger. IIRC, it had a hole in the trunk, through which a large metal key was inserted to wind up the car’s powertrain.

I think it has already been done. At least "Mellow Yellow" thinks so.
