Just found this on another site
This belongs to a guy on the Vauxhall forums, it was recently built and its probably the finest peice of automotive piss take I have ever ever seen... I would love to get alongside an Evo and then proceed to rip it from hole to elbow. This.... is just outstanding!!!
Yeah ok, so by now you're all thinking... "right, its an old Omega?" and yes.... correct, its a 1995 2.0 GLS in blue, even got rusty back arches.... however, those of you with a bit savvy may have gone "hey, look... Lotus Carlton wheels!" and thats not all....
That'll be a 366bhp straight six twin turbo Lotus Carlton engine then! Do the maths... standard Lotus Carlton did 186mph, and the Omega is far more aerodynamic.... and its got mods too, so think 450bhp+ and a boxy Carlton and we're talking 190/195mph.... add that to the slippery Omega shell.... anybody else wondering what the possiblity of 200mph is??
Just awesome, absolute grade A nutter...

 Ever seen the prices for LC spares?
IIRC, £400 for new discs and pads up front

All Omega's are RWD??? Its that true or just a bullshit fact? I had one as a hire car and when i caned it round a roundabout the backend stepped out which might explain it  I'm sure it was a FWD though cos I had the front wheels spinning on it?

LOL I was driving it like a FWD No wonder the backend swung out so much when i lifted mid bend and then floored it I was expecting a bit of lift of oversteer not power oversteer. I hope I get one again as a hire car now
