Title: This made me laugh.
Post by: Mr.OmegaMan on 25 May 2013, 03:22:39
Was just looking on eBay on newly listed Omegas (it's a hobby  ::))

Anyway this listing just looks like your average listing till you look at the description..

It's a "00" 2000 Omega 2.0 GLS Automatic..

I'll quote what I found amusing..

"134 BHP ( + sport button +46 extra BHP= 180BHP)"

Link...

That 2.0 has more power than a 2.6 V6 then  :D ::)
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Just asked the question:

Hi there, looking for a cheap motorway cruiser, and have had a couple in the past; how are you getting the extra bhp by pressing the sport button? Just need to consider any modification for insurance reasons.

Thanks in anticipation, Mike.

 ;) ;)
