Off the clock
« on: 13 May 2010, 21:18:04 »
Not sure if it,s real but having some time on my hands ::) ::) and seen some clips of Omega,s runing off the  speedo clock right up to 160mhp.

I know that they speedo will be somewhat out but can they run to the max ,as i guess there is no speed limiter on them.

possibly they have a lower geared diff fitted. Exagerates the speedo reading and will max out quicker, i suspect its a job to get a stock auto 3.2 over 135 on any stretch shorter than the entire length of the m4...certainly would take a while anyway, plenty room for lower gearing i guess, if you can bare the extra revs and fuel bills.

Having put a std Omega up against a similar mileage Senator, the Omega was quicker, despite a high rpm hesitation and a HG failure doing no favours to cooling......

As soon as I posted my initial reply, I went into 'view thread' mode and, guess what, AndyB was in there replying, soon as you like, just like a salmon louping after an early fly!!   ;D   ;D   ;D

Cheers Andy.  Glad to see you are not letting the side down....   ;D   :y
