Omega got it right…

Yesterday I spent the day finishing one of the last Omega B2 approved in D (EZ 10/2003) for the HU / AU. It was finished: New Sachs-damper with dome bearings, new Stabi sockets, new transverse handlebars, new pendulum supports, new track rods, new wheel bearings all around. Finally, an axle measurement. It is a 3.2 with WLS (registered 240hp). What should I say. I got the car right on the road earlier. n Vectra C2 OPC (280hp). Both vehicles stand on 235 Conti SC (the Omega 17″, the Vectra 19). Now it comes: The Omega has the ALWAYS more sporty chassis. Although the Vectra reacts more directly to steering movements and turns in cleanly with the rear at first, then the weight distribution strikes and the planer pushes mercilessly over top. Unlike the Omega. Although it does not steer quite as directly, its understeering is far less pronounced. The Vectra had no (!) chance to stay on the very winding highway (speed range 80-180km/h). BUT…there is still the chapter braking. After only 5 km (!) fast driving the brake of the Omega was absolutely at the end. Pedal feeling NULL, boiling brake fluid. The car got a brake fluid change 1 year ago and stands there with an original Opel brake. Of course, the brake fluid just changed. Be that as it may – I let little get on the chassis of the Omega… P.S.: When it started raining towards the end of the ride, the Omega circle could drive around the Vectra, although its driving dynamics systems are considerably better.
