Nice looking car Mark, we used to have a couple of those at work, not too bad to drive, but as you say no where near the power of the V6...

Does that make it faster than a 4 pot omega? :-/ Or does the omega have a huge torque advantange?

There's really very little room around the motor.  Just about enough for a feeler gauge.

Looks nice and clean though.  Is the front bumper new?

More torque (loads more!) and more power than the 4 pot Omega
