Well, they still look cool. I wonder how aerodynamic they really are.

they would probably lift of the ground at around 200mph

I don't think so. The large rear wing and the openings in the body right behind the tires would probably help suck it to the ground.

Find the video, it has been a rumor for years
A video with a Vector W-8 lifitng has been a rumor for many years. Everytime someone claims they have seen it, no one can find it. I have yet to find a Vector W-8 owner that confirm any such video and all them claim they would never try a top speed attempt. The Vector W-8s know to the Vector Aeromotive Club do not show any sign of ever lifing off the ground. One was damaged in a container while being shipped. Other damaged W-8s was caused by fneder benders, not high speed attempts. Until this video is found and there is proof that any speeds shown on the screen are for real, I would not except this as fact.
It is known early W-8s had aerodynamic issues. This is why additional ground affects was added and sun roofs sealed on later production W-8s. With only 17 production W-8s and 2 pre-production W-8s, I can't imagine anyone would put their W-8 in danger by driving at ultra high speeds. Most of the owners I know, just like the low end thrust of the W-8. |

If only a magazine like Road&Track or Car&Driver could get some official tests done. That would surely answer a lot of questions.

Racing W-8, as in race car, never was one.

well, maybe instead of bitchin about it, search 4 it on kazaa like i did. I was sceptical about it untill i finally found it and saw it. And i watched it more carefully, the W-8 didn't snap in half, the hood or sumthing full of on impact

The Vector Aeromotive Club site lives
If anyone was wondering about the Vector Aeromotive Club site, it lives. The message boards have just been put online and more images are on the way. Any fans are encouraged to stop by. The more fans that stop by, the more ammo the club has to encourage new media projects based on Vector such as books, videos, and more.
