The list of problems goes on and on. After reviewing the history of Vector it seems like both California and Florida Vector needed to spend more time developing their cars. Both the W8 and M12 stand out in a crowd. With less then 45 cars ever built (including concepts cars) Vectors are unknown to most people. Wiegert is trying to build cars again under the name Vector Supercars. He uses the WX-3 from 1993 as his show car. I am not sure how many people will want the WX-3. Buyers of high dollar exotics can choose the MT900, Callaway C12, Corvette Z06, Saleen S7, Bugatti (coming soon), Ferrari Modena, Ferrari F60 (Coming), Koeingsegg, RUF Porsche, Porsche 911 Turbo & GT2, Lamborghini, and more. All of these cars should be able to out perform the Avtech. The Avtech Roadster has a body that is still eye catching, but under the skin the Avtech does not stack up well against most of the competition. Anyone thinking of buying an Avtech should think about the W2/W8 production history. W2 buyers waited many years to get their cars. Anyone placing a deposit now, could be waiting a longtime to see the car. It is always a risk placing a deposit with any niche market builder. The S7 has seen many delays, but at least Saleen does have solid track record. The Saleen based Mustangs, have a very high customer rating. My point is, anyone thinking about buying an exotic should look the whole market over. If they decide an Avtech is for them, seriously consider the risks and track record of the builder. To tie this all back to the topic of do Vector "suck" in terms of quality, I would have to say yes. If someone wanted buy a XJ220, EB110, F40, or a W8, I would say forget the W8, the others are good exotics to own. If someone wants to buy an M12, my advice would be avoid the earlist ones built. Just be ready to dump lots of money into these cars. I still hear about this guy in Ohio may develop a Vector. I do not have all the info, but he may have the rights to Vector Aeromotive. As of this moment, I do not know. I hope to hear from him again. I would love to think someone could break the Vector's bad track record. |

Hey thanx a lot guy, this is some of the best information I've ever seen on the Vectors, and it's very much appreciated!!
I hope more people who are as knowledgeable as you on Vector M12s will gather here, as I love Vectors, and still do after reading your post, and will ask one of you for more advice if and when I get some money to be able to afford one |

Those look like fabulous cars! I have thought numerous times about buying a vector when I was younger, and I would really like to get one now!
