    they cant be that quick as i was pushing a calibra 2.5 v6 along, and the vectra engine isnt gonna be that much differenc issit?

    Even the old 3l cams on the 3l with 3l displacement only gave 208 odd hp.

    ever driven one?

    drove a 2.5 v6 SRi estate few weeks ago and it actually handled ok, Traction control did have to step in tho

    I must say i'm not a fan of the vectra's tho, or vauxhall at all tbh, apart from the old stuff that is (Monza, Manta (think they were opel), Carlton etc)
