In which case the gearing is different and hence the faster acceleration.
Doesn't help economy or sales in Germany......which is a very big market....just another example of Rover missing the target......again....
Plus I suspect its lighter....

Trouble is it cost more then pretty much every other car in its class and didn't drive as well (ie Jag, Monaro etc....) plus it was less powerful!

Never been a Rover fan.....
I have often been in conversations with people where they have said 'its a shame we no longer have a car industry since Rovers demise'. The bottom line is you look at the quality and performance of the main stream output they were producing and you soon realise why we don't have a car industry any more!
You can sell rubbish for so long but, eventually the public realise and stop buying it.

Having worked on an Omega with what was a big engine crane , we found it didn't actualy reach far enough!
You also need to look at the reach v weight setup on them as the weight handling decreases rapidly as you extend the reach...
That said, most modern engines rarely exceed 200-250Kg (unless you aheva V12 jag or a 2.5TD!).
That ebay one does look good though.
Watch out, on many modern (that excludes the Rover then!) front wheel drive cars you have to take the engine out the bottom of the engine bay......

What WOULD be interesting is converting the Vectra to rear wheel drive and dropping it in.....if its one with independent rear suspension it might be possible....
