So I have changed my driving style quite a bit over the last little while. I've been putting my foot down pretty much everywhere I go. I don't usually drive with passengers unless it's a holiday or summat. But yesterday had two passengers in the car. Kid and adult. And my car seemed sluggish.

Once they got out the car performed exactly as it always does with just me.

So question really is how many passengers do you take before you notice the extra weight holding you back.

Note that the adult and kid were normal size and not fattys  though same can't be said of me at 17.5 st

And for the record my car for an omega is "pretty nippy" as told to me by Serek when he drove it 

That I put down to the aforementioned change in driving style and the tranny learning. My car drops a cog and flies even at part throttle now.

Perhaps you need to upgrade to the adult spec Omega?
Although driving that in the same way will soon downgrade you to the bus courtesy of a grumpy magistrate.

[Webby the Bear]

Adult spec lol im sure if Lewis Hamilton drove them he'd say they're all shit 

But anyway back on topic.....

You do drop yourself in it sometimes Mr WtB, try changing into Mens clothes and remove all the makeup next time before you go for a spin.

But the make up is like go faster stripes zirk lol

So guys....the passenger halting your progress question? Lol

You need a gearbox upgrade for one thing...

TBH, if I am loaded, I do tend to drive with more leeway, but can't say its especially noticeable in either Omega...  ...I'm sure scientific results would say otherwise in a straight drag race/stop

Still need to come to you for that TB if the offers still on. 

Yeah it's odd. First time I really noticed it. But as said with just me it was noticeably back to how it normally is

Don't think I've ever owned a car where I couldn't tell if the petrol tank was full or not.  But then I weigh 10.5 st so my weight is slowing the car down less to start off with.  Every car slows down noticably with passengers in my experience. Even 400bhp.

And for the love of god Webby... if you must insist on driving an old man's car even if we all have to chip in a fiver... will you PLEASE get a 3.0 already!    Either that or make Mark's franken-hybrid 3.2/2.6/3.0 thing!

Lol if anything happens to my car (which I pray it doesn't as I love it) I will have to go for a UK mustang with the biggest engine on offer...... assuming I could "find" the funds

[Webby the Bear]

The one with the 5.0 v8 in the trim I would have would be £37090. Gulp.

[ted_one]

Don't mess with that Ford shite.....get yourself some 'Thunder from Down Under'

.
Agreed.

If you must get a fud, the baby engine one is as quick as the v8?, and cheaper to run.
