Just found this old pic of my car..

WOW! its been over 5 years since I had my 7 and just found this old pic of my car next to the US made Vector M12.




I know most of you youngins don't know this car, but back in the 80's it was the car of my dreams! The guy next to me was the new owner back when the pics were taken.

Can't see pic., but aren't you talking about the old Vectors from the 80's? Wasn't it capable of 0-60 in under 3 seconds.

OMG! I had a poster of a red Vector on my bedroom wall when I was a kid! Just looking at that picture is like taking a trip back in time. Only thing is that car is definitely not as cool looking as I remember it to be. I think it's those wheels.. they are crazy small for that car! Ha ha

Wow Phil. I've never even SEEN one...but I remember that was THE car, back in the day of "Test Drive" and "Test Drive2" I also remember ppl were in awe w/ the Vector because it along w/ the Porsche 959 generated SO much downforce at high speeds that it could technically drive upside down!

Thanks for taking me back man

No Problem Ramy.. LOL!

I acturally got to sit in it and it was pain in the *** to get in and out... I wish I was able to drive it. The owner was going to let me drive but apprently it had some tranny issue and very very difficult to drive.

Nice pics. I always thought the Vector was an interesting car. Believe it or not, that car actually has a Lamborghini V-12 engine in it and was made in the U.S.
