Nice car and the right place to do drifting and handbrake turns, Not the carpark over the road at 1am keeping me awake half the night when I have to be up at 4am. Sorry feel better for that does look a good car though. :y :y :y

I wonder what engine is fitted, maybe they bolted on a turbo? As the opinion I'd heard was that even the V6 models don't have the power and torque to maintain a drift ... ???

my 3.0 mv6 has enough to hold a drift in 1st n 2nd in the dry, 3rd starts to get a bit dangerous as u dont have to power to pull out of it if you have to but it is possible.

Thing is with drifting the omega is, they dont have a great deal of steering lock, which means to get to and hold silly angles is tricky. It is do able with a bit of practice though.

Another thing to watch out for with the big Vauxhall, is weight transfer. When it goes wrong, you have a hell of a lot of weight to continue pushing.
