I never saw one running but I saw the car(?s?) in the 80's at the LA Auto Show and heard Jerry Wiegert claim it was the best in the world
which was pretty outrageous since the prototype hadn't yet run. He seemed to always be wearing a camo jumpsuit... and claiming the moon.
This is what I'd call the Definitive Article about Jerry and the Vector
Here's how the article starts:
Weeks before I meet Jerry Wiegert, creator of the spectacular but star-crossed Vector W8 Twin-Turbo, we communicate via emails, snail mail, texts, phone messages, and prolonged phone conversations. So even before we get together, Wiegert has informed me that he invented the modern supercar (along with the personal watercraft, minivan, and four-wheel ATV), was put out of business by Indonesian gangsters who’d bribed members of his board of directors, packaged the deal that wrested Lamborghini away from Chrysler, and inspired the twin-turbo motor in the Ferrari F40 and the roadster version of the Lamborghini Diablo.
So I’m not sure what to expect when I arrive at Wiegert’s sprawling house in San Pedro, California, which overlooks the calm waters of the Pacific.
(NOTE: Just down the road from Mrs Cazalea's father)
I park behind a black Chevy Tahoe with a vanity license plate reading VEXTOR and wonder: Am I going to find a misunderstood genius who’s gone unappreciated in his own land? Or does Wiegert have more in common with another polarizing visionary, Steve Jobs, who was said to have operated in a reality distortion field that allowed him to convince himself—and others—that just about anything was true?

I remember them from Top Trumps from my childhood. Apparently they never managed the claimed performance 🤷🏻♂️

Gotta love the instrument panel, etc. For those NOT familiar with the Vector W8....
...here's a video. Plus i love the ashtrays
That was very interesting but I can’t believe
Anyone can talk on as endlessly as Doug DeMuro! After 40 minutes, no drive? I’ll have to go find THAT video now.
UPDATE: Wife got home, showed her what i got.........
She smiled and said, "as long as you share." Yup, this one goes into our 'share' watch boxes. (〃￣︶￣)人(￣︶￣〃)
