I know the guy who officially ran it at Boneville to 242 mph. He is the same guy who owns the car thats currently in my sig.... and running at Boneville means you have official timing

It was published long ago in one publication... but as the first costomers were taking deliveries, Insurance companies wouldn't insure them.

so Vector Aeromotive changed their "top speed" estimation to "200+"

the media took that as a sign that the W8 couldn't actually meet its goals.... which are completely untrue.

the car reaches a top speed of 242 mph @ 8200 rpm, rev limited... so Jerry's claim that the car could go 250 mph isn't so outlandish.
