Newbie Welcome Area / My new Omega

hi all. I have a question.
I have just bought a beautiful :) Y plate 2.5 v6 24v Omega. I was told this car was great on performance but it feels slugish??
I have been driving turbo Di's for about 10 years now and this is my first Petrol car since 1997. And of course you get used to the turbo kicking in at 2500 rpm ish.
If I rev from 4000 rpm to 6000 rpm the Omega has some go (but will drink fuel like its going out of fashion), but if I put my foot down at...say 70mph/3000rpm in 5th gear, the car excelirates but nothing earth shatering.
Is this normal? Do I need to work the car in between the 4000 - 6000 rev range to get any performance?
Regards
Kevin
