Delusions of grandeur??? A 4 pot Omega against a 6208cc V8 Merc costing around £170K with a 0-60mph time of 3.9sec, a
0-100mph time of 8.0sec, and a top whack of just shy of 200mph! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Must have been due to the British road speed limit then i had the bigger ...... at the time so rubbed it in and left him doing over 12?mph ... but he was going for it till i closed in maybe he watches too much road wars ;D or the fact he looked like a proper umm toff with his fancy car and private reg so thought id have some fun with my £200 Omega (or 4 pot as you put it) ;D

looks to me the yellow van is the fastest

Large queue ahead around the bend the van almost crashed trying to catch it pumping loud music out along the way.

Aye ;D ... cant recall seeing anything like that just yet around here but sure my ears will tell me different once it does ;)

Also had a Audi R8 V10 behind me for a short time that day couldn't get a pic, Funnily that was also white and looked better.

His starter motor probably put out more power than a 2.2 Omega ::) ;D ;D

I'm not ashamed to say i have a 2.2 i was pretty proud of my Omega & myself for even considering taking this on and pull it off without the rozzers seeing me driving 125mph on that private road at rush-hour... A 3.2 would be nice though still on the hunt for one :y
As said i was following for some time while he was pulling away but after closing in he slowed down... Possible thought i was police who knows as the road ahead was clear and i just flew by him looking at me while passing made me wonder that...
-
Not dissing your 2.2 mate - its an Omega.
But if you think any Omega is a match for an SLS Merc you really are in your own world ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;) Get real ;)
At 125mph the SLS is only "ticking over" ;)
My boss has a 5.6 AMD Merc and that is quick enough

Was on that day buddy, :y
On the "PRIVATE" roads the speed limit is for everyone as we know so doesn't matter if you have a 3000000.0000L V100 engine the speed limit is the speed limit, Just depends who wants to push their luck on the "Private" Roads of the UK....
(Im always in my own world when driving ::) )
Did i mention this was done on a PRIVATE Road ? :y
;D

Is a Desmond capable of going as fast as 125 mph?
-

I would have thought that to be a very good reason why such speeds are ill-advised given the typical road conditions of today.
-

Just, given enough time to get there. The Merc could get there in about 10s. The 2.2, probably about a minute. With a tail wind, downhill.

She had plenty more in her didn't have the space in front, Also she was drinking petrol probable below 10mpg easily :y

I never pushed my Desmond much beyond 60 I must admit - if I wanted a spirited drive I took the Prius out. ;D ;D ;D :-*

Don't know anyone called Imber ? .. Got it locally for just over £200 with 8 months tax & 5 months MOT from an old head teacher 3/half years ago ... ive spent like 2k on her over the years since then :)
Who was/is Imber if i may ask ?

The bloke in the Merc probably couldn't see from crying so much with laughter at the bloke in the 2.2 Omega screwing the conkers off it he couldn't find second gear ;D ;D
I overtook a TVR Griffith the other day, ok the driver of the TVR was in the shop he'd parked outside but it amounts to the same thing
-
I can't believe you seriously think in anyway shape or form, that you were on par with it, keeping up or staying anywhere near a Merc SLS.
No day, no minute no second could any Omega be a match.
583 Bhp, from 6.2L in something which weighs the same as an Omega ;)
I think 2.2's are fantastic engines, very reliable, dead easy to work on, smooth for a 4 pot if well maintained. But power, no. When you were hitting the red line keeping up, I suspect the Merc was not even trying, and changed down at around 3k rpm ::)
-
As said she had plenty more in her, had her upto just under 140?? At night :-X Some time ago on a privat road like.. Even then there was a little left ... Maybe the 17" wheels has messed up the speedo or someone has done something to the engine or something who knows.. Either way I still left that Merc ::)

it was very smooth actualy at that speed and very stable on the road just the same as 70mph ;)

No way near that, you will be getting an over reading anyway, add to that bigger wheels, its going to be way off. You were doing a more likely 120/125mph
Brand spanking new they were only good for 130mph ;)
-
Bigger wheels compromise 0-60 but does gain at top speed a little.... Anyways will everyone stop with the Merc bashing I know it's the better car just thought I'd share the story didnt expect all this attention, doesn't matter what you say like the Merc was idling at that speed etc I still had fun petrol mpg wasn't fun but there we have it don't think I'll share my other story after this lol ;D
-
What has generated the interest is that we always get stories like this, I beat an M5, M3, Porka Turbo and so on, usually all very questionable, as the Omega, is no sports car.
The fact you are saying the same, but with a 2.2 & up against a Merc with an AMG lump, makes it quite laughable ;D

on the private roads yes it's doable... But a drag race then there's no chance :y

Only wondering as you'd have to be on them to think a 2.2 Omega is a match for anything remotely sporty ;)

A client of mine at a 6.3 AMG Merc estate. Although it has a speed limiter on it. It, unfortunately will only go up to 300 kmh - he has managed 270, albeit very briefly.
His avarage fuel consumption is is around 20mpg. His best ever was 25, travelling at a constant 120 kmh. Blast it and ... well .... you need to have a good salary anyway

I overtook a Formula 1 Renault once on a push bike ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D - unfortunately there were no SLSs about or I'd have had a go at that as well ;)
But a £200 Desmond no I think I would have been onto a loser ::) ::) ::) ::)

Its just a bit of fun all this no need to take it too serious :y ... i know my pecking order on the road..... in 1st place ::) ;D :y
Seriously i do know that Merc is a much better car in every way but then again you are paying allot for it so you would naturally would expect allot in return form it... But my little 4 pot for £200 did well that's all i was trying to say..
Sorry if i did upset anyone, That wan't my intention :)
