Johan's Kadett was on show at Sweden's biggest indoor car show in March 2007. The car has been built for 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile racing (dragracing)
and is street legal.

His 2.1L C20XE has been built with our 4th upgrade taper throttle kit although Johan arranged for the headwork to be done himself. He also has a dry sump system.

Email received from Johan, June 2007:

As I only want high peak power, this 4-1 header is a better solution for me (dragracing), it made 260bhp and 248nm with 33/29 valves.
We have only been mapping it from 6000-8500rpm because there was no time for the low
revs. (competition day after). The car feels really strong now.

I made 12.58sec with a bad 2.1sec 60 foot time (it was raining) and 181.5 km/h topspeed at 1/4mile
I am hoping for a high 11sec time with some better grip.
I have won every event except one in Sweden, the one I didn´t win was because my flywheel bolts fell off =( but its ok now again. =)

I have a movie from the event:
