I think it's Victor.

 

hilarious!

 

I hate to say it, but for some reason, your Vector looks like a Vector. The M12 looks to me that it shares more genetics with a 90's Camaro than a Lamborghini and appears too much like a kit car. When I look at your car, it looks purpose built, and easily recognizable as being part of one of the most interesting automotive stories/legends around. The M12, not so much.

 

I had a huge poster when I was 17 of the Vector.I remember it saying 1200 HP and 10 or 11 second quarters.Which in the day,anything that broke a 13.9 sec quarter was amazing.It looks like a modded GM TPI engine in yours but the valve covers look wide like a big block? How many cubic inches is it? Very awesome car,please come to Keeneland with it.

 

Yes indeed. Cinternational, Killer430, and RJCollier were all the same person.

on race gas, Kurt's car will make 1200 hp...

Out of the box, with the tall gearing, the car runs 12.0; and 3.9 to 60 mph. Some cars may be faster, including this W8.

A company by the name of First created the intake runners, which GM copied but were 1/2 the diameter of those found in the Vector.

360 CID Rodeck Y block is what it is; although, it is reslevable to 572 I believe.

 

Persistent little son of a gun, isn't he. I guess you have to give him credit for that. LOL

 

366cu in
Sleevable race block (Rodeck) capable of 572 cu in.
As Isaac says the car will do 1200hp with 110 octane fuel and the boost turned up to the factory limit of 14lbs.
Intake manifold is from First. Much larger than the TPI set up from GM (GM copied it)
The valve covers are custom, and are wide enough to be mistaken for big block valve covers, but they are shorter.

 

he needs to apply it to something productive.

 

Going that quick is quite a feat for the gear.Its probably better for the bottom end and acceleration overall with that gear ratio? What kind of rearend does it have,suspension in rear? How does it handle? So,how long does it take to turn the boost up anyway.............I mean, you have done it ,right?

 

The car would be violently quick with a lower gear ratio. But getting it to hook up would have been difficult. the rear end is all custom and was cast by a supplier to Vector. The differential is a Gleason-Torsen. The rear suspensions set up is a DeDion rear suspension which has 4 trailing arms and one latteral link. Depending on how the suspension is adjusted it will pull anywhere from .92g up to 1.25g on the skid pad, the suspension is fully adjustable and when in its at its full race setting for the sway bars and the springs, it will scare passengers around corners. As for turning up the boost, its a simple dial on the dash board. But that is where you have to be careful, its tempting to dial it up, but you have to make sure you have race fuel in the tank to do so or you will detonate the engine in to oblvion. So if you have 110 octane fuel in her you can turn her up from the factory set minimum for 8lbs to the max of 14lbs. As for turning up the boost. I usually keep a 50/50 mix in the tank of my car, 92 and 110 octane fuel. I usually keep the boost between 10 and 11 lbs. It is good for around 800+ hp. Enough for that occasional run around the block. As for running cars with the boost up at 14 lbs, yes I have done it in several Vector W8's when we were still building them. PP001 and PP002 usually had 110 octane Dayco fuel in them so we could take potential clients out for that occasional poop your pants test drive.

 

Just about as good as it gets!

I remember him coming around to all the carshows, and back when i worked at Blue Ash Airport he was in and out a few times, His Father had a plane.

 

Yup, that would definitely be him! I had to pick his Rolls Silver Seraph up from his house when i was in high school working for Montgomery Jag, Bentley, and Rolls. Everything in that article is dead on as I remember people from that Don Pablos talking about him throwing $100's around like that. Im curious if he ever ended up in jail. He lived the good life for a year or so, thats for sure.
