Its the Omega V6 engine with an asymetric turbo on it. I'm not exactly sure what that means - but I dont think it puts out a whole lot more power TBH. Auto only IIRC?

low pressure turbo on those i think, so going for torque rather than bhp. Which is what you want on a heavy car :)

They're very good cars, get it remapped and you'll see some good power increases, Harmon Kardon is sh!t hot too  :y How much is it, if you don't mind me asking?
