MOPAR vehicles (Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge nowadays) have SRT (Street & Racing Technologies)

Two different things, MOPAR is the parts and service side, SRT is the performance side.

Omega

Just wondering does Holden actually know the meaning of the word Omega, or are they trying to tell us something...(Someone please que Twilight Zone music)?

As far as I know Omega refers to the end or the last of something.

afaik VW's performance tag is R, as in R32 Golf and passat and also VR6 Golf and passat

Oh yes, i learnt that the hard way...i was googling "HSV VT", looking for a photo of a VT Clubsport, when i came across an image...of a....erm....infected "thing".

I don't want to think about it.

For the record, the other day i saw a Hyundai with "HSV - HYUNDAI SPECIAL VEHICLES" plastered all over it. Is there really a Hyundai Special Vehicles, or just another dumbass tryhard Hyundai driver trying to be "kewl"? *cringes*

Nope, no Hyundai Special Vehicles, they had a Hyundai Vehicle Enhancement (HVE) at one stage though

Omega is used in other branches of GM worldwide as a model name so probably just a corporate tie in from Holden to move away from the dull 'Executive' badging
