Judging by the fact that the book says the LA3 engine makes 220 BHP, I'd say they went round the back of a cow with a shovel, and waited a while. ::)

Seriously ugly car, though, IMHO. :o

From what I remember the Americans have always[at least since the days of the "muscle"cars if not before that]been quite erm shall we say liberal,with their engine power output figures.But I believe they built a U.S. version of the Omega and called it a Cadillac Catera or similar did they not?
