Yeah i thought it was an Omega too, i can't imagine it'd be a V6 vectra but then again thay might use the same dials.

I've heard that 2.6 MV6's do 130 in 4th gear but i can't think who told me that!  If a 2.6 manual will to 130 in 4th, what will 5th give you going flat out?  :)

If it was a 3ltr auto in sports mode it only kicks into top gear at an indicated 128, apparently, so it cant be being pushed to its limits if it is not in top gear on a straight road  :)

[bandwagon] I of course in no way condone the actions of the driver and think it irresponsible and he/ she should be chained up and stoned to within an inch of their life etc etc etc [\bandwagon]

About 140 according to the book. 5th gear is power limited, rather than rev limited. The 3.0 manual does 151 according to VX, again power limited.
