Either your 3.0 is a dog, or you has the worlds fastest 3.2, bought from Martin Imber.

Early cars rust quicker and look dated, but other than that... not much ;D

No rust on my 98 superior model  ::) Although that extra 200cc wouldnt make much difference would it  ::) Interior's of the older cars are so much more comfy and dont fall to bits like in the new ones  :P

Makes a surprising difference...  ...kills the mid range and top end, though initial surge from standing start feels better.

Err, no. The 3.0l is the faster of the 2, with better delivery.

Good job it wasn't a 3.2, really. By all accounts it would have burnt up entering warp speed. ::)

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think comparing power between omega v6's is a bit of a something or nothing.

I agree the v6 is superior in all ways to 4 pot, but aside from that, in a heavy old barge being driven from a-b day to day, all the v6's are usable and very smooth and pleasant :y

I am of course, trying to justify that the third omega joining my fleet next week, is a 2.6!! ;D :P

Coincidently, I only bought it because it's black and near immaculate and I can (I will lose testicles when mrs sees it on drive)

I think black omegas are stunning and I've always wanted one :y
