Who would actually want this car?

Would I want this car? I see its rare, but for $10,000 in 600 miles, is it any good beyond bieng a rare supercar? Who says yes, who says no?

I would.

It would look better than a pink flamingo in the yard.

Sure I'd want one. In particular, I'd like the Aggasi car, its almost legendary.

I would rather have a M12 but w8 is OK. but not for a everyday driver.:monkeypis

you see, at least with most new exotic cars you can everyday drive with it. With this it is impossible.

I know, this thing spends more time gettin' fixed than on the road:smoker2:

exactly.

I'd still want one

I think the W8 looks too dang cool, but is it really as big of a pile as you guy's say?

The Vector W-8 production cars was closer to a concept car then production car. In an ideal world, they would have had more development before the W-8 production started. Since Vector had been claiming they would build cars for many years, they may have been under pressure to start building cars even though they needed more R& D on the car.

I do know the owner of the famous R&T cover car and he drives his W-8 all the time. Clearly a 911 Turbo or Acura NSX would make a better daily driver. I have yet to get feedback from owners of new lambos and Ferrari's on daily driving. I think some people would be shocked at how much headache some of the new exotics are.

I can't see the photo, but I'm assuming it's of a W8? I'd most definately want it. It is the original and awsome. Even if I couldn't drive the dang thing, I'd still want it in my driveway to make the neighbors drool.

i would give my left arm for a W8

I cannot see the photo either....but the $10,000 and 600 miles thing has me wondering what it is....anyone able to help me see what I am missing? :(

sure i'd love one, but i would probably never drive it, unless i could find a way to actually be able to. like above said, this car spends more time in the repair shop than actually driving... I would much rather have an m12 or the wx3 convertable

To start, the W8s are very well-built cars. The problem is that since Vector is so small, it's very hard to find mechanics who know the car. That's why that particular chassis had so many problems. The mechanics didn't really know the car, and so they had to manage. But the car was recently fixed by an actual former Vector employee so its fine now. And yes I would definatly take one but of course the WX3 Coupe is at the top of my list!

eh, youre probably right, but either way, id love a w8, particularly the yellow one

It need a modern DOHC V8 Turbo Engine & Then 1st things i 'll do for this car is "Change the gear box to manual" ... :D

Ps: Supra 6speed gearbox & Toyota V8 engine couple with 2 IHI turbo charger!!!

I would like a W8, mainly because it is rare, unique, and nobody else has one, nor has probably heard of it. It would make for a great conversation piece. But, knowing of its not so stellar reliability record (Andre Agassi's caught on fire, for crying out loud!), I would more than likely have it sitting on a piece of plywood in a garage most of the time, only bringing it out for car shows, or the occassional short cruise.

Way too old thread to be posting or voting in. Closed.

I actually know a guy who had (don't ask what happened) a w8. There are only 17 in the world. Seeing the W8 up close and in person is breathtaking. For the early nineties, it completely owned all competition from a technological view. If you ever see a w8 in person, look at the dash. You'll see exactly what I mean.
