Thanks

No, but the american Catera version does iirc. :y

High performance German cars (apart from Porsche)have limiters which are set to 155mph,they never made an Omega which was fast enough to need one. ;)

Thanks for that Jimbob :y

There are 3 speed limiters fitted to an Omega
1) Your rigt foot
2) The number of points on your driving license
3) The power/aerodynamic ratio of the vehicle.

4.final drive ratio. ;) ::) :D

Except a certain Omega A model which did over 170

Hmm. My Omega would be going "quite quick" before it ever ran out of revs in top. Around 170-180 MPH says the back of a fag packet. I think it'd run out of grunt before then. ;)

Good point Kevin,although in theory the gearing will affect top speed.down a steep hill with a good tail wind? ;D

...But that was a Carlton to us Martin and it wasnt really German,the reason it did 170+was the lotus designed and built engine. ;)
