The 210 version is actually a little quicker than that I'd say. No doubt another example of Peugeot testing their cars with luggage and passengers to reduce the 0-60 on paper and help reduce insurance. Also the weight of the cars doesn't mean that much, what you should be comparing is the engine weight if it's going in a 306. The 406 V6 engine goes nicely in a 306 with only a little fabrication of mounts, and not only that but it's not so much heavier that it changes the geometry of the car too much. Let's be honest, the main thing these have going for theme is handling, so if the Vauxhall engine is much heavier, why ruin the main characteristic of a 306 and be much more out of pocket for the privilege.
It's your money at the end of the day, but there are a lot better ways to spend is that just paying someone to put a Vauxhall or Ford engine in the car because that's all he knows.
