Hi All, I have owned two elites in the past & I'm on the lookout for a new one. I am concidering a turbo diesel but I have never driven one & would like to know what thier performance is like? I go on track days & would be interested in which model omega you think is the fastest etc? Thank you all in advance

[albitz]

it aint gonna keep up with your mv6 bud. other than that ,not sure tbh  :-/

[darren5354]

cheers albits, do you think the 3.2 MV6 is the best model? & do you prefer manual or auto?

i believe 3.0 manual is quickest

[albitz]

only ever driven 2.5,i would assume the 3.2 would be the one with the most grunt and probably the least mpg.i drive an auto but i dont have any strong feelings regarding auto/manual.the missus much prefers  auto,so despite the fact that she rarely drives and she couldnt drive a pig with a stick,i buy auto cars for a quite life .

[darren5354]

Have you driven a manual Danny?

[darren5354]

I know what you mean albits, her in doors and all that. I've only driven autos but never been disappointed with the performance! however I imagine that you would have much more control with a manual?

[tunnie]

the diesels in standard form are about as quick as my 2.2 petrol so not very fast!

if your after track days, MV6 all the way.

[darren5354]

Cheers Tunnie, Manual or auto?

[tunnie]

for track days? manual all the way!!

[albitz]

agreed

[tunnie]

ex-police 3.2 manual is your best bet, possible it won't have aircon thats good, less weight.

Basic spec with holes, so no probs ripping it out for a roll cage.

Already a manual, just needs better shocks and springs, job done

The 2.5TD are pretty slow in my book, de tuned straight 6 BMW lump for gearbox reasons. I basicly use my 2.5TD Estate as a Van for Work.

My MV6 3.0 is a manual, not the fastest thing on the Planet but for me drives well with the Manual Box.
