Thats cool, if that was an Estate that would be brilliant IMO... the LS engines are ripe for some extra power aren't they? Sooo, this could be bumped up pretty easily.


Cheers,

I think you can get a proper Holden Commodore GTS for that sort of money.

Still a decent car though.

the omega is the same chassis as the manaro so sticking the ls1 or any small block chevy engines is quite straight forward, it might only have 320 bhp but will go for 500k miles, higher bhp is very easy though, look on ebay.com for chevy crate engines, you could get 500hp for not much money and a new engine to boot.
