Hi, I'm just wondering about the performance of the VE Omega, I've read road tests which say the 180 kw engine struggles with the extra weight of the VE body and other reports which state that the VE Omega is much more lively than the VZ Exec 175kw previous model.
Some road tests suggest that the Omega is as quick as the VZ Exec and others say it's faster whilst I've seen another report which quotes just under 10 secs 0-100 which is not that impressive.
Obviously the equivalent BF Falcon is going to be faster due to the extra torque, but in the real world how do you VE Omega owners out there find them to be as far as performance and refinement goes?
I know as a fact that the Alloytec 180 is a lot smoother than the alloytec 175 and as far as I know the grumpy 4L60e 4 speed auto behaves in a much better way to. Thanks
