It's a top of the line Opel Omega MV6 rebadged as a Cadillac.

If you like obscure, oddball cars then sure. These obviously got a Cimarron-like reputation when new and have basically disappeared from American roads, but it seems like the rest of the world never had any issues with the platform.
A V8 is easily dropped right in to them as well since they're similar enough to cars like the GTO (The Opel Omega it's base on was also almost sold with an LS1 V8). You can even rebadge it as an Opel or Vauxhall if you want to look like more of a special snowflake on the road as well.

>>28737155

Oh fuck you should have led with that go get it I'll give you some mods
I picked up a v8 one a decade ago for about 2500usd in aus

>Cimarron reputation
that's unfair. the Cimarron was objectively trash, the Catera is a solid car with the wrong badge. It was their first attempt to really try and turn Caddy into the American BMW like they really went all-in on in the 00s. If it had had a Pontiac badge it would've been fondly remembered and probably would've sold much better.

I forgot to add, it's in the same class as the Lincoln LS, another solid little luxo-sport with European underpinnings that had the misfortune of carrying a badge with too much cultural baggage.
>>
>>28738479
Agree, Pontiac badges would've been a better fit. And maybe offer some options from the euro parts bin like the manual/LSD combo, just to set the car apart from the Grand Prix and Bonneville. Otherwise those would have just offered more car and engine for less money
>>
>>28738479
they could have basically made the G8 before the G8 if it had Pontiac badges.
>>
wtf it's opel omega
>>
>>28737928
Isn’t the engine bay different?
Read that you have to make a custom subframe if you want to V8 swap an Omega B.
And the Catera is just a fancier Omega.
>>
>>28737155
if it doesn't have a direct access hatch through the floorpan from decades of salt, then go for it
they are fat and guzzle gas, but they are comfy as fuck
