First, I have been passionate about the Vector since 1981 as a small boy when I saw it in a large text book entitled World Cars. If I had the ability to step outside of myself and design my ultimate vehicle, the Vector would be it. How is David K doing? I met Jerry at the NY Show and it was a pleasure. Did the prototype Vector that Jerry had for sale on EBAY a few years ago sell? Avtech WX3 any actual models ever produced with the 1200 H.P. engine? Was that a realistic hp #or more like 1,000?

@CrashBandikoot7 They dont look bad, the have just become plastic. They are no longer pliable. Its a bit like driving a 1200 hp Mattel big wheel.
-
@VectorW8015 I can only imagine what those factory tires look like today lol
-
@CrashBandikoot7 No, there are no other tires that come close. Also none that are rated for the speed the W8 is capable of.
-
@VectorW8015 I see.. Kinda forgot for a second these rare super cars have specific tire measurements that you can't get anywhere else.. but im sure you could have found something very close to that size, no?

@CrashBandikoot7 Back when the Vector was developed every car in the world had 15" wheels. Vector pushed the limits and went with a unheard of at that time idea, 16" wheels. Michelin developed a tire specifically for the W8. One that they guarenteed to 250 mph on the W8. With 17 cars built, Michelin no longer manufactures that tire. Coker Tire gets the moulds at 25 years. Then we can get new tires in the correct size again.

Sounds like they are very noisy to drive judging by the video.
Love the interior and exterior of the car but how does it stack up when it comes the fit and finish.
Is it a well built car, solid and well constructed with high end material.
Or something that looks like a plastic tonka toy.

@Watchfullspark The camera is hard mounted to the sunroof glass. Put your ear directly against you window and drive. You will get the idea. As for fit and finish, better than any Ferrari, Lamborghini, Jaguar XJ220, Bugatti EB110. As for materials, Kevlar, Carbon-Fiber, Wilton Wool, Connolly hides. Nothing but the best materials used. 4130 Chro-Moly, 6061-t6 Aluminum. It is one of the best built cars I have ever seen. My backgound- Automotive Engineering Manager.

@VectorW8015 Fit and finish are also second to none. The car has nothing to be ashamed of except for the fact that the company was hostially over taken by Indonesians and what the followed up with was the worlds worst built car. Unfortunately they placed a badge on it and tried to call it a Vector. It wasnt.
