I don't go over 80 but was a terrified passenger in a 5.0 V8 928s4 Porsche once , I stopped looking at 170mph and started praying


Passing a maxed out BMW735 in a £1000 V8 mk1 Escort is an experience I've never wanted to repeat. Although nothing beats the Trabant Incident for fear.

I have noticed (on a track of course ) that after 150-160kmh(100mph) omega beats just about any 200hp ish car example volvo, mercedes  ::)

Top speed with manual according to dash 245kmh(150mph) probably real about 225-235kmh(140-145mph)?

I'm under similar impression.
Omega is not quite responsive and agressive on low speeds (it's a bit disapoiting).
However, it's a whole different world on high speeds (this is where the 'high power but not so high torque' cars can't keep up the pace).

Also, I've learned from various British car shows (wheeler dealers and similar) and from this forum, that there are many privately owned tracks and roads in UK  ;D ;D

My 3.0 saloon was comfortable at an indicated 140+ driving down through Germany when I went to Italy... Mrs LD wasn't though so the speed limiter kicked in and I dropped to 110-120 for the remainder of the journey.

My 3.2 estate, along with a go faster Black 3.2 saloon with LSD had to teach a Porsche a lesson in France because he kept pulling in front of us and slowing down... He became a spec in the rear view mirror when we were at around 140 :-\ ::)

Would imagine a 911 on a public road at that speed would be rather uncomfortable  ::)

B.i.l has one. I didn't find it uncomfortable at all, I'm just a very bad passenger at speed. If a pair of Omegas were leaving a 911 in their wake, the driver doesn't deserve to be driving a 911.  ;)

Agreed... I think the driver didn't have the balls after egging us on ::)
