Get it.
Had a 2.6 Sportive. Was a great car for sliding around in. Especially the narrower ones. Very controllable. But yeah, will rust.

Depends on where the car stayed, if it was a cold country where they spray lots of salt in winter or if it was close to the sea.

>>16146701
They're 5 times as expensive. And VERY difficult to find someone who can work on them, in case you're out of your depth with british wiring.

>>16146701
gl with the price

Average for 80s cars, so really bad.

But if an Omega survived until today, the previous owners must have been doing something right. You have to do the rust protection you would do to a vintage car, but the money is very well spent if you do it.

What you should know:
>It's considerably larger and heavier than eg an E30 or a 190E, don't expect it to be nimble.
>Still handles alright for what it is.
>Engine/drivetrain is stronk

Opel had created a solid and modern engine, better than what the other german companies had to offer, at least according to magazines back then.
Unfortunately GM forced Opel to replace the inline six with the all around shitty V6 for the Omega B, just after they had spent a ton of money on the 24v variant. That's probably why hardly anyone remembers it

they're very reliable, fun, fast.
there's one in switzerland for 1200 but I dont have the money to buy or to go get sadly.

There are a lot of rebadged 3.0 i6 in Brazil still going stronk

I was thinking about clean builds, but yeah. That works.

>>16146843
It should be in the same class as E34 and W124, because it's medium size car.

>>16143957

You need to buy one from a dry-climate area. Not so much as seen one in Britbongistan for over 10 years - all long since rusted to death and scrapped.

I'll totally buy a 3000-24 someday and put Holden badges on it.

>>16146843
that V6 sure was a POS. they had constant problems and I've seen one that threw a rod for no apparent reason.

The Omega was supposed to come with an LS-1 but GM pulled the plug on it

>>16146843
>>16151642

The only V6 that Opel made that where any good where the Y32SE and Z32SE 3.2 litre's.

>>16148038

That's what scares the shit out of me. It's what scares me the most in attempting to learn to go fast.

>>16151785
If its rear wheel drive, let off the gas. If its front wheel drive, floor it. NEVER BRAKE.

That simple.

>>16151886
Always easy said. Not really easy done, when you rarely get to go to a track. I need to do it more often, but, really, the ring not the place to train. But the easiest to access for me.

true, the 2.6 and 3.2 were certainly an improvement.
The 3.2 actually made it into the Alfa 159/Brera afterwards, with new cylinder heads and vvt.

>If I had the choice, I'd like my Omega with a 2.3 Saab Turbo, please.
>tfw you look under the bonnet of a stock Omega 2.2 for the first time and all you can think is 'there's so much room for activities!'
