Nice find - this is rather relevant to me as my car is the 2 litre CD sedan.
I do like the 105kW stock! (142bhp)
Also notice the 215/40R17 tyres - FTW!
I do however find his power claims interesting, considering that the supercharger, mapping and exhaust only appear to have netted him 20 extra kW. Seems interesting when you consider even Auzvectra's remap seems to give at least 12 more kW (and you'd think that an extracted exhaust would deliver at least 8kW more). Perhaps he hasn't changed from the stock exhaust manifold which I've read is pretty woeful.
It was a specialist make for that HDT division in WA only...so not surprising it missed alot of the public light...
Looks like another one of those "if we stick Peter Brocks name on it it'll sell for alot more" back then kind of schemes which were all a bit of a sham...
I was around in the days of the mega embarassing "polariser" in the VL Brockies, which was even featured on a Current Affair back then and began the real demise of HDT from GMH - for shame :nonod:
There is always this...not OPEL, but ugly!!!

105 kw from a supercharged 2 litre!!!! AND 17" wheels!!!! Ho hum. Pretty much standard fare on many daily drives these days.
I remember all the excitement about a Sigma Turbo when it was first released back in the early/mid 80s(?). Don't remember the factory power output, but I am pretty confident in suggesting that the latest everyday 4-pot would probably match it . . . or indeed better it and no doubt have better everyday figures for consumption, handling, comfort, features, etc.
We've come a long way!
Agree! At the time they first came out I actually (sorry to admit it guys) had a Chrysler Sigma 2.0 wagon 5 speed (hey! I had kids that needed to be carted around. It wasn't my best decision in life, alright!) and the thought of a Sigma with any more power was a scary scary thought.
But then they didn't have that much to start with, I guess!
