You'd think but does anyone have 1st hand experience..?
Like Adam said, lowered, rims etc.. plus RWD would make up for it being a bit sloppy..?!

i love Omegas, especially with a V6. Buy one and speak to an importer about buying a 2nd hand LS1 to throw in it, smaller than the aussie Commodores, but share a fair few bits here and there.

Yeah but if you can see past that .. its like saying corsas are shopping trollys.. people see past it and make them sporty etc.. not slagging corsas off just saying the Omega has potential to be like Cyber says like a HSV commodore or Monaro... bet you could make an awsome Omega with the right bits on but never seen one..

I think some of them do like quite cool with Irmscher bits on. The newer shape ones are nice too. Just not the sort of car I would buy myself
