The excuse they used for hiking diesel prices (amongst others) was the high particulate content. So bad for the environment

When i was working at Russelsheim once they had an Omega there with a cadalac northstar V8 in it - they were thinking of producing it.

Well documented, canned we believe due cooling issues at Autobahn speeds. Real issues with exhaust manifold exits on the (UK) passenger side.

It could have been solved, sure there would have been a solution. But maybe maybe just too expensive 

Sure it was a Northstar? Ls1 surely ? Northstar is front wheel drive transverse, and is enoooormous.

Sure TIS says its a Northstar. Can't check at moment.

Yeah it was the northstar engine - but with longitudinal arrangement - did fill the engine compartment they had it on show there,

Any chance you can "Have a word"? There's a market for new V8 Omega's Although I will admit, it's limited

Im sure that market was filled with the monaro - which looks very like an Omega

Sort of... It may look like an Omega but lacks all the toys

Nope, my bad.

5.7l OHV pushrod engine. Has to be LS1, not Northstar

Back to the drawing board

Ho didley he hum on a positive note the LS1 is a whole lot less complicated and more reliable
