Does anybody know what the Vauxhall official performance figures are for the various Omegas?

0-60, Top Speed, MPG etc.??

For the various models. In particular i'm interested in the 2.6 V6.

[MikeDundee]

8.5 seconds for the 2.6 V6 E.G., 0-60.

[Markjay]

2002 2.6 Opel Omega Saloon Automatic:



224km/h = 140mph
100k/h = 63mph

The actual performance will depend on spec, the Elite is heavier than the GLS so will be slower etc, I think that the Opel 'Selection' here is somewhere between CD and CDX but I am not sure.

[Markjay]

Or.... If you prefer the UK Sales Brochure for 2001 Vauxhall Omega models, it's 139mph top speed and 9.5sec 0-60mph (the 8.5sec is the figure for the manual version).

mpg for the 2.6 Auto based on UK Sales Brochure:

Urban 17.2
Extra Urban 32.8
Combined 24.6

The figures in the Opel datasheet are in Litre/100km, which can be translated to mpg but it's as easy as translating Furlongs per Fortnight to mph....

It is not that slow I have a 2.6 and it is around 8.5 or so definately not as slow as 9.5 seconds.

PErhaps it is because mine was well run in!

Over a measured distance the 2.0 would do 75 the 2.6 85 and the 3.0 about 87

I get around 16.5 on running about, should an engine be redlined through the gears?

[The Barge Captain]

Of course! although i bet you can't get it to do that in 5th!

Only got 4 gears

Yes the figures I gave are based on manual 8.5, my omega is manual, never actually timed it though, previous mega was an automatic 2.5 V6, THE SPORTS BUTTON IS WICKED. But you can't beat a manual.

I can't see that the official 9.5 0-60 for mine is correct. I can beat it by a second easily

[TheBoy]

I'd be surprised if you can get 8.5s 0 - 62mph from 2.6 auto...

[Auto Addict]

My 2.2 can beat that, on a 1:3 downhill....

Hi Mick,
So easy to beat a manual with auto - one slow or missed gear change & they're in the dust!

Does anyone know if the quoted 0-62 times are using the sports button or standard?

I'll have to try some times on mine, but I'll bet it's nowhere near as slow as 9.5! I have to agree with Martin on his post.

...Does anyone know if the quoted 0-62 times are using the sports button or standard?..

I don't think that matters, the 0-60 sprint is done with the right foot all the way down and I think that the autobox will change at the rev limiter anyway, the Sports mode will only affect driving if the pedal is not down to the nail. What would be interesting is to know is if they test 0-60 at the factory with the rev limiter off.... Also I read somewhere they they test this with the foot down and changing the autobox manually 1-2-3-D, though I don't know if this is actually true...
