after about 1995, there wasn't an article until 2004.... which basically said "where is the Vector now, and its' owners are suprisingly very happy with them"

Like JP had his Vector in a Rally, and won by over an hour ;) and gave the keys to his daughter for her 16th or something like that.

Is the trans like a TH-400? Kind of confused here, interesting read though.

Holy Jesus, the inside of that car makes me want to dress up like Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2

Marty wouldn't know what to do with 700+ bhp/lb. ft. of torque... 88 mph would be just edging into 2nd gear! 8) :shock:

When you read the article, you'll find the answer... and really, the finished product isn't even close to what it started life as :) hence it being an Exotic in every fassion of the word!
