Oi! You! Leave my ZT alone!

Look here if you need advice. Theres a cracking fella on there called STMO123

Be carefull - you might get a post reduction for liking Zts more than Omegas

I never said that! Taking everything into account, I wouldn't swap my omega for anything other than a newer one. That includes Vx muscle cars.

My wifes ZT is reliable, good looking and , unlike my omega, fast

I'd like to see one try it on my 2.6

I reckon the Rover may have the legs in dry conditions due to better power to weight...

You're being silly Martin. It's would wipe the floor with your 2.6. As I said earlier, I drive both regularly and I know the Zt is much faster. Thats what it was built for, certainly not comfort

Thats because the ZT has low gearing....wrong wheel drive though....and it shows plus its a very peeky engine.

Bloody overly firm ride to for everyday use on a car that size.

I always feel like I'm driving a pub when ever I get behind the wheel of a 75 derivative.....I mean, the speedo looks almost edwardian.

Alas, BMW tried to go all retro with it, and pretty much killed it...   ....shame, as a FWD large family car, its not that bad handling wise - overly stiff though for a large motor...

Being RWD I'd beat it off the line

If you'de bothered to read the thread instead of diving in at the end I think you'd realise I said that

I can get a repeatable 7.8 0-60, mine is an ex hire car and is a bit loose.

I reckon I could beat that if I changed manually move at 6000 change at a bit higher than sport mode

Interesting that maximum speed is higher on the Omega as well

Purely academic on our roads

And you think the ZT's time couldn't be improved upon?

As said, in the dry, the ZT would leave your 2.6 up to most speeds. Whether or not it is a nicer car or ride is a subjective matter (personally, I prefer Omega).
