Yep. 2.2 is no good for overtaking and just usable for towing.
2.6 is OK for overtaking and OK for towing.
3.2 is great for overtaking while towing 27' of glider trailer. ::)

2.0 16v manual went ok, but quite thrashy... 2.2 is more refined, but nothing like as smooth as the v6 :y

2.6 auto is fine for wafting around with decent overtaking capability,  2.6 manual is probably a better drivers car than the auto, but the 3.2 is the Daddy regardless of gearbox 8)
Now we know the 3.0l is the best engine that Omegas left the factory with. The 3.2 is a pale immitation

I'd agree that the 3.2 is better than anything the Chiltern Slug can offer.  If only it didn't keep stalling ;D. Still, "not my effing car"
