Hello from Brazil Chevrolet Vectra Gsi

Post by Diego GSi »

Hi guys!
My name is Diego Silva, I'm from Salvador, a large city from Brazil.
Probably, some of yours know that in South America, Vauxhall Cavalier GSi is Chevrolet Vectra GSi.
Here, this car is a little bit rare. Since 1995, when I saw a GSi for the first time, I think about this car. Was one of the best cars in Brazil in his time.
Last week, I bought my first GSi 1994.
Follows some pictures and I hope that we can change experiences about this great car!

Welcome to the forum Diego! You have a lovely looking GSi, very clean! Thanks for sharing your photos.
It is always nice to Cavalier's in their different guises from around the world.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Welcome to the forum! :wave

Very nice looking Vectra you've got there. Looks very similar to the UK spec SRi.

Out of interest, does it have independent rear suspension or a rear beam?

Hi James, thanks!

Unfortunately, it's rear beam :( .

But in Calibra, it's independent. We had only 1500 Calibras in Brazil, between 1993-1996. I don't know why Chevrolet Brazil did it. :evil:

1500 Calibras? That's probably more than we've ever had here in Britain lol.
