Post by: JiMbOb789 on 22 October 2007, 15:19:38
Hey,
     i am a bit of a drift nut and i was looking on the internet and found thse pictures of a Drift Omega. I was very surprised to see a vauxhall drift because normally its always japanese or American cars.

Nice car and the right place to do drifting and handbrake turns, Not the carpark over the road at 1am keeping me awake half the night when I have to be up at 4am. Sorry feel better for that does look a good car though. :y :y :y

I wonder what engine is fitted, maybe they bolted on a turbo? As the opinion I'd heard was that even the V6 models don't have the power and torque to maintain a drift ... ???

my 3.0 mv6 has enough to hold a drift in 1st n 2nd in the dry, 3rd starts to get a bit dangerous as u dont have to power to pull out of it if you have to but it is possible.

Thing is with drifting the omega is, they dont have a great deal of steering lock, which means to get to and hold silly angles is tricky. It is do able with a bit of practice though.

Another thing to watch out for with the big Vauxhall, is weight transfer. When it goes wrong, you have a hell of a lot of weight to continue pushing.
