    My dad had a blue '96 Omega 2.5 CDX Estate Auto for about 7 years. Amazing car, so many awesome memories. Mainly of electrical gremlins (the alarm going off whilst we were driving being a particular highlight) and the noise of the v6 when overtaking in 'sport mode' (I was young at the time!). It was also sooooo comfy!

      The Holden Commodore was a revised Opel Omega with the main changes being appearances of the front/rear and interior. Every new Omega model was followed by a commodore. All Commodores had a V8 option, Peter Brock who made Holden special variants for the factory took a Monza and fitted a V8 and front panels from a commodore to try get Holden to sell a coupe variant.
      The fact GM couldn't make one work is of no surprise..

      @@darianistead2239 Not quite that simple. There are a couple of fundamental differences between the Commy and the Omega. Firstly, the Commy used a transaxle gearbox, the Omega didn't. This proved to be one of the death knells for the project as the only 'conventional' gearbox that would fit and could handle the power of the LS1 was a 4 speed auto and during testing the flex plate kept failing during full throttle runs because they upped the rev limit to 6000rpm to try and regain some of the power from the modifications they had to make the valvetrain and breathing gear to get the engine to fit. GM Europe declared the car 'nicht vollgassicher' and the project was canned.

    • @darianistead2239
      @darianistead2239 Год назад

      @@lankyboy90 Wrong.. The commodore has never ever had a transaxle, it has a conventional transmission mated to the engine. The corvette had a transaxle and torque tube.. The LS1 in the Commodore was available with the t56 6speed manual or auto without issue.
      It was that simple, not if over complicated by germans whom answer to penny pinchers like GM corporate, who could of just asked the Aussies who were doing it and had been for decades before they tried and failed miserably🤷‍♂️..
      Ah wait they did🤦‍♂️.. The commodore was called the Vauxhall Monaro, the Pontiac gto, g8.. And when the Omega was no longer produced, Holden had to actually make their own rwd platform cars which GM then used as the base for their cadillac Cts, chev caprice, chev SS etc..
