Apr 2011 at 23:28 DOnt know if this was tuned but it absolutely flew , took a roundabout at about 5-6mph and was in third and it just pulled from nothing all through to the red line in 1 seamless powerband. Car shite but the engine is a masterpiece!

Id say its a few 100 kg's lighter.

I'd imagine being lighter would have something to do with it. I had a V6 Cavalier before the Omega and as well as being wrong wheel drive was much quicker than the Omega. (both autos)

Was it an ST?

Apr 2011 at 08:24 I thought the Mk3's had a blower on them. I recall driving one a few years ago adn was not that impressed as it lacked low down grunt followed by a spade full then a fast drop off.

Apr 2011 at 07:02 It will seem quicker for a couple of reasons, 1st it's only Cav/Vectra size where as if you want to compare a Ford with the Omega you'd have to drive a Granada/Scorpio. 2nd FWD delivers it power/torque better as they doesn't loose as much power/torque through the gearbox/propshaft as RWD does. Still a great car though I really like them
