0-60 in about 8-8.5 seconds, top speed never tried......

I will say that the Omega does cruise very nicely and i have been know to make cover long distances in a short space of time  :y

best going would have been from the natural uk home of the miggy back to plymouth in 2.5 hours  :o

I get a consistant 0-60 of 7.7sec out of the MV6...and no idea what the top speed is,

used to get 8.7sec out of the 2.5 manual & 8.9sec with the 2.5 auto.

My days of 'how fast can it go' were short lived - got a clean licence, would be sods law to get nicked at some silly speed.

well in the New .. track car.... MV6 manual 2001 ..... i saw an indicated 160mph @ 6500rpm ish....... and with all the stickers saying calabrated by IRS on dash... its prob pretty close..... gets to it quite easily really....... not talking a 5 min run up with it going ....... 158.......................................................................................... 159..........................................................................159.1................................................ etc etc...

ha ha

hope this helps........

Oh yeah this was on a old runway no so long ago ;D

Is it a 3.2? If so that's the quickest Omega available being a manual variant, should be dropping into the 6s on the 0-60 time as mine can do it low 7s (could probably get it below 7 if I gave the clutch some serious abuse!)

I reckon mine will max out the speedo seeing that it's a 3.0 manual civilian model with the standard speedo inaccuracy. Real speed about 155 or close to it? Incidentally that's the standard Vmax of the 840Ci without the limiter removed, but it'll get there much quicker.
