When the latest Polo GTI arrived for testing at our offices, where our very own Opel Superboss lives, we did some quick maths and realised that on the quarter mile the cars could be quite evenly matched.

Even though the 30 year old, 2.0-litre Superboss is seriously outgunned here by the turbocharged Polo, the Kadett has a huge power-to-weight ratio advantage, weighing a good 400kg lighter than the Polo. New cars have become very heavy indeed.

And so we hired the Killarney race circuit outside Cape Town and set up a new school vs old school showdown. Enjoy!
