carcrasher88 (1) 2012-04-07 18:37	If I recall properly, the Conrero GT was the FIA Group 4 version of the GT (rally, sportscar racing, GT racing). Wider fenders are the biggest giveaway to the Conrero. The name 'Conrero', I believe, comes from Virgilio Conrero, who has done work on Opels (apparently including the GT) (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgilio_Conrero). -- Last edit: 2012-04-07 18:39:42

carcrasher88 (1) 2012-04-08 03:33	@Jammy22: You're definitely not wrong in saying that. From Wikipedia: Quote Its styling has been likened to the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette which went on sale in September 1967. ...and the link connected to that sentence: auto.howstuffworks.com/opel-gt.htm Quote The Opel GT was styled chiefly by GM’s Clare MacKichan, who’d played a big part in designing the 1955 Chevrolet before his tour of duty in the Russelsheim studios. This may explain the up-front similarity between the GT and the newly styled ‘68 Corvette, with the same low, sharply profiled nose, blade-type bumper, and hidden headlamps. The latter operated manually on the Opel, revolving up out of their recesses to give the car something of a frogeye look.

carcrasher88 (1) 2012-04-08 16:29	@Jammy22: In that sense, yes. Kind of like how the 1971 Chevrolet Vega had a front end that looked a lot like the 1970 Camaro.
