Have a go of a manual though cause i wanted one instead of auto until i tried a couple and has to be the worst gearbox by a million miles quite shocking to be honest with a throw between gears longer than a chris backley javalin and feels like its sat in a custard tart! Sorry to anyone who has a manual, just my opinion.

 Yes the MV6 3.2 will be the quickest one, but if you get a Diesel and find out a BMW 2.5 td Gearbox, then retune the motor to BMW spec, add chip  ;) and watch it hammer the 3.2 out of the coners every time  ;D ;D

Just out of curiosity why would you want to track an omega its not exactly what you call sporty and on track power to weight is everything and you will see your backside when mk1 golfs and ford fiestas leave you for dead, you would have more fun in a old golf or something similar aswell.

People find that the Omega can corner very quickly on a track - also Golfs and Festers are wrong wheel drive

I know there wrong wheel drive but wouldnt bet against an old mk1 golf round track against an omega.

An ex member used to have a track MV6 and he was getting silly lap times, I wouldn't bet against it anyway
