Anybody seen a Vector?

?


I want to...badly.

That's actually a very good question, no.

Yeah! Who hasn't? I mean, they're all over the internet, in Dupont Registry....hell, I even had one on a Calendar once!:jump: :cwn27:

There all over in my December 1999 duPont Registry, which i seriously need to upgrade, and there was one in my calendar. i don't like them that much, they look plastic and cheap.

That's the one with the 911 GT1 on the cover right? I was looking at mine just today. Also guys, I think he was asking wether or not we've seen one in reality not just in pictures, i've seen about 30 Vectors for sale and in calenders.

Yeah, I meant real life, ENZO!! :D:D

I've got that Dec.99 issue too, the big huge-ass one with the GT1 on the front. I'm looking at it right now, actually. I can only find 2 Vectors in it though, and they're both at the Toy Store.

I REALLY want the BMW 745 Turbo 5-speed on page 287...pimpin' baby... ;:smoka:

Yeah, its the one with the GT1 on the cover, that was my frist and sadly only dupont, but i am going to borders tomorrow to get whatever one they have, i was going to go last night but the girl i was with hates cars and wouldn't be around me if i bought it. but other than mags and calendars i have never seen a vector.

I probably wouldn't even know what they were if it weren't in GT2. I've got an M12 in my screen saver rotation. :flash:

Yeah, I wouldn't have known about a lot of cool cars like Silvias if it weren't for GT and GT2. I'm saving up for a PS2 now, GT3 being the one and only reason...

Why can't they make a PS2 "Lite" without the DVD player and all that crap and charge $200 (Canadian) for it instead of $450???

my friend paid $500 US for his, but i'm glad because he gave me his PS1 :D but anywho, i'm going to buy the new dupont now, bye!

$500 USD??? He must've bought it the day it came out or something. Either that or somebody ripped him off...

He got it right when it was released. i would have waited until now, they are about 200, but i'm not sure. i picked up the july 2001 dupont today with the corvette on the cover, its the annual corvette issue. man, i spent all day at work looking at it, i highly suggest picking it up now!

Me too, sort of. I know I want GT3, but I can't justify $360 for it. So, I'll be waiting anxiously for the price to come down, and I'll play it at my friends' houses in the meantime. :D

Waiting worked out okay for my PSX, I got it new in 1999 for $50. ;)

I got mine for Christmas :D

But I spent $80 (Canadian) on GT2, cause I bought it the day it came out. It wasn't even on the shelf yet, the cashier had a stash under the counter. She said that I was the very first person to buy it from that particular Toys R Us. Kinda cool I guess...:D

LOL! Yeah, I bought the PSX, then got GT2 for Xmas. We're back to even! Ha, ha! :silly2:

Toys R Us

Is that where you do most of your Shopping? j/k BTW, that Turbo is pimpin' I didn't know that BMW made factory Turbos. It's only 22,900 US too. But it's probably long sold by now.

You bet! PSX stuff, dinky cars, 1:18 cars, candy...everything a man needs all at one place!! :D:D

Anyway, I just got it there because it was the first place in town to get it.

I really want that Bimmer. Pimpin', baby yeah! :D

I used to do most of my shopping there. Then I grew up, Ah, I miss those days. Get the new dupont and then we'll talk some more.

I went to toys r us to get some model cars and they had one 550 maranello and some bel airs. i was very disapointed. i have the new dupont, its awesome!

Okay....getting back to the original topic, I've been around Vectors.

I have been around two W8s and five M12s.

Holy smokes! Do you work at a Vector dealer or something! Wow! Didn't they only make like, 8 W8's or something like that?

PS. S2000: I just got my PS2, GT3, and Toyko Xtreme Racer Zero. I doubt I'll be sleeping much for a while :D

George W. Bush ended up paying my creditors instead of buying me a PS2, so I'll have to come to your house to play! :D

I didn't work with Vector in any way. I just happen to know quite a bit about the car and the company.

They made 17 Vector W8s for the street, three more as prototypes, and the final two were actually prototypes for the Avtech WX3.

The two W8s I saw were the very first prototype (W2/W8) and the last prototype, which was built for emissions testing. The second prototype was for crash testing.

Hudson: I didn't realize they had made that many (22 isn't that much, but more than I thought). You learn something new everyday! I've seen the W2 in a car book I have, it has a really wild interior...it looks like the cockpit of a plane. Do the street W8's have the same interior?

S2000: Come on over anytime! :)

The interior of a W8 is very similar to the W2. The entire car is very similar.
