It's the same exact idea that stupid teens do with their Civics, Celicas and a number of other cheap japanese cars. Only this is RWD.
Lingenfelter TT Corvette, built for Steve Dumler ~ O-60 : 1.97sec, 1/4mi. : 9.24sec@150.5mph
=============================================
1970 Buick 455 GS ~ 1/4mi. : 13.38sec@105mph, as tested by Motor Trend. With todays tire tech, it's around 12.2sec@120mph.
=============================================
Support the U.S. of A. ~ Drive American.
=============================================
Buick GSX ~ out of the 600(some) GSX's produced from March to May in 1970, about 100(some) were Apollo White, the rest, Solar Yellow. Today, about 118 still exist, and out of those, only 12 have the original paint.

It should've gotten a V-8. preferably a 5.7, but the Northstar would do.
They (Opel) announced once that they were going to built a 5.7 V8 Omega. it never came though. The E55 and M5 were already well established. Shame. Would love to see a V8 Omega.

Holden and HSV had V8 Omegas. The V8 Northstar wasn't designed for longitudinal mounting (although the one in the XLR is, that's irrelevant because the Omega was out of production before the XLR was even announced)

No you are very very wrong indeed.
Holden's Commodore and Statesman (Lwb) are not just rebadged Omegas - they are fresh australian automotive engineering (like our Monaro/your Pontiac GTO).
Holden is not sold in the UK - althought Vauxhill (sp?) were looking into importing a very few of the Monaros and were considering ripping off the Commodore to replace the Omega (they decided against this as the Omega had already eaten up so much time and money).

the Omega is still available in the UK! it was given a face lift in 2001 and is known as the omega C. the Holden Monaro is available in the UK as a Vauxhall Monaro and is well priced at around 30k GBP! but loose money like mad with second han prices dropping, this is because a gallon of petrol in the UK costs around 5 GBP and 5.7/6.0 V8's drink fuel + the dealers know there not Vauxhalls and dont like to work on them, so getting things fixed can be a problem. they are sold as a rival to things line the Jag XKR both are large 3 door coupes with around 400bhp and RWD, unfortunatly the commodore and the monaro are nothing more than related to the omega, shairing only the floor pan and some other minor parts! when you see them parkd next to one another you can see that the cars resemble each other but they are NOT sister cars, although the Monaro has been given a differant front end and is sold in the USA as a pontiac GTO. you would not look at this car if you wanted an evo, if you want a rally car compair rally cars to one another but dont look at a 5door family saloon that weighs almost 2 tons! my best mate has a Evo VIII MR FQ330 and he loves my Omega Elite because it is comfatable and quick, and i Love his Evo coz it is striped out focused and Fast! their differant cars
