Three reasons:

1. It's a Vectra
2. It's a Vectra
3. It's a Vectra

Need any more? They don't handle and look hideous. If you want a nice sounding engine buy a Monaro, the V8 will sound 10x better than the TT V6, and is probably 10x more reliable too -- the 2.8 TT doesn't have a great record in that regard.

ooooh some crackers in there....

Tsk. The speedo only goes to 155mph, that's not much use, especially if you're behind me and Jim.  

That's because it's electronically limited to 155 MPH, which is easily removed. It'll eat any standard Omega -- more power, less weight and the SMG gearbox is basically a manual that can shift bloody fast and has electronic launch control

GTM Libra, and the Blackjack Avion

 

I've druelled over both of these at kit car shows.

... And just when I was thinking the Avion is the sort of car that would be a total scream to hoon around in and, with only 2cv power, it's not going to kill you... they bring out one with a VW flat 4 up front  8-)

If the lawnmower engine will fit, would a BMW flat twin fit?

If the VW4 will fit will a 911 engine fit?

Quite possibly, but I think if I was going for BMW bike engine power, I'd go the whole hog and get a Grinnall Scorpion. I can testify that they are properly mad!

I badly want to build another kit car
