Jan 2, 2008 - I came into alot of money awhile back and was desperate to buy one..... I WONT shit talk it bad.....but talk to the PRESIDENT OF THE FAN CLUB.....he told me to see them at show....never buy one....ask him......apparently they have bad problems....alot of stigma.....and dont turn....seriously ask him.BUT....theres a new one on the way....ITS GORGEOUS...SUPPOSEDLY hits 275 MPH....but Vectors lied since day one....but its gorgeous

tvkhaled Says:

Jan 2, 2008 - Again you're mostly right,the W8 also had some technical problems, but it was so gorgeous & advanced even for the 90's, & acheived at least 90% of it's claimed performance figures- if I had the money & the opportunity then, I most definitely would have bought me one,even though I knew about it's teething problems.The new WX-8 has serious design issues & performance numbers credibility matters,& only future will tell of it's fate...

Jan 24, 2008 - Iv'e heard of vectors back in the late 80's into the 90's,I have vcr tape on it.i heard they had mechanical problems and really didin't impact the Sports car world as they anticapated,I think it was over kill in technology (Was itnecessary)Good looking car...

tvkhaled Says:

Jan 24, 2008 - You are correct in everything you said.Yes they had problems (especially regarding transmission & ventilation),& yes it was a technological over kill.But it sure was a great car,& it's a pity it didn't have enough time to prove it's true colors.

Jan 25, 2008 - Im sure if they tried it today they would have it sorted all those problems. They wouldnt really know what they were doing back then i reckon, just put it in cos it looks good!

tvkhaled Says:

Jan 25, 2008 - Yes, they should have solved all it's problems by now...such a shame...

Jan 29, 2008 - look at those 1992 R&T stats...the Vector W8 ran a 12.0 1/4 mile at 124 mph when the viper ran 13.1 and the vette 13.9...Testarossas were running mid-13's as were early diablos...the diablo never ran 124 mph quarters...it takes a perfectly tuned murcielago to run that trap speed and then it'll blow up the clutch and need every gasket and seal replaced...the vectors drivetrain was bulletproof and vastly superior to the lambo drivetrain used in the M12 model built after the MegaTech takeover.

tvkhaled Says:

Jan 30, 2008 - As a Vector fan, I sure am happy to hear what you say, & yes the W8 was fast, but what concerned me was the reliabilty of the 3 speed automatic,& some minor heating problems, but yes, this car really knew how give a hard time for Diablos & F40s when in a good shape at the time...

Jun 4, 2008 - It is beautiful car.Whats the song?Plx tell me.

tvkhaled Says:

Jun 5, 2008 - No problem- it's by "Blur", & it's called "Song 2"...

somaliCABdriver Says:

Jul 15, 2008 - What was the drivetrain? I remember reading magazines about this...way back...twin turbo's too....sweet!

tvkhaled Says:

Jul 16, 2008 - It was the original V8 (used also in the W2), & yes, it had twin turbos, & 600+ crazy horses!

Oct 1, 2008 - vector really misses a good design,,,,

tvkhaled Says:

Oct 4, 2008 - Few cars generate love it or hate it shapes as much as Vectors!

jabahut1 Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - Love them or hate them we still cant get our hands on them. I rather buy a Lambo.

tvkhaled Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - Yes- there are only less than 20 of them around the world...

Nov 13, 2008 - Sat in one of these at the LA auto show when I was a teen. It was like sitting in a fighter cockpit. Wish they would have followed through with it. So much potential....

tvkhaled Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - Yes, huge potential- it's a big shame this car had that much of a bad luck...

Nov 29, 2008 - Hate it... PEACE!!!

tvkhaled Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - No problem...
