I must say, my 2.5 is noticably quicker with 3.0 cams - it comes across as just the right amount of power, for the weight and type of car.

Lets be realistic though - no Omega is "fast" - that's not what they're about, buy a jap car if you want speed Thumbs Up!

Tb - as an aside - I know I've been in your MV6, but have I ever ~~ragged~~ driven it?

May 2009 at 21:35 I need a test drive without error light on (now out), but it is definately livelier, and a little meatier sounding. I am tempted to get it remapped in a few months. I have owned a 3.0 and at high revs this feels as fast, but definately less torque. Some of it though is gearing.

Stupid bloody car coming the other way will remember the Halse roads, as the silly old fart was the wrong side of the road when I came the other way in her Rover yesterday. Fortunately, enough room for me to use a lot of verge, silly old duffer

Mike's is quick.

I suspect yours could be embarrassed by most decently maintained 2.5/2.6 manuals...

Mine is ported, 3.0 inlet splitter and 3.0 cams, pulls like a 3.0 over 5000 rpm - can someone move this to GC?

The difference on the top end speed is great really does shift Thumbs Up!

My very short test drive was fun, but I want to refit a new gasket to 135.
