Sadly, Vectors creator, Jerry Wiegert passed away yesterday (January 15th 2021). Rest in peace sir. You did things by your own rules!

[@largol33t1]

What?! I'm heartbroken. The Vector was and still is my favorite supercar. RIP Mr. Wiegert. Please say hello to Mr. Ferrari when you meet him...

[@deathstrike]

RIP Jerry Weigert you made a hell of a car!!! And on that note I want to clarify something. The reason Weigert used a.Corvette V8 because at the time the in house engine (V12) was not ready and customers who preordered were getting close to suing Vector. So the decision was made to use a low cost, high potential output V8 which any gear head knows that a Corvette engine is a gold standard for power. As for the 3 speed Hydramatic. There is nothing wrong with this transmission setup as it can handle the enormous power and torque of the V8. What the content creator didn't tell you was that the 3 speed Turbo Hydromatic has been used in MANY muscle and sports cars. One famous one is the Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 and the Ferrari 400i. Both used the 3 speed auto for their entire run. And now many features the Vector has are now standard issue in the automotive industry. So Weigert can rest knowing he created a car ahead of its time and many exotics follow the basic design Weigert used in the Vector.

[@donvirgo]

Jerry was super cool! I'm sad to hear that! I hate that we lost touch 🥲We went riding one day in his convertible Vector which was crazy because I could see over the actual metal frame of the front windshield. We went out to eat and then back to his boat, where we drank some crazy rum he had in a crystal bottle and talked about a new car he wanted to build. Hell, I may have the drawings laying around somewhere!

[@TNolan-d5x]

Doug, thanks for the trip down memory lane! Vector was a customer of mine back in late 1989, early 1990. I was able to walk right into their fabricating area from the street and spoke to a supervisor. No security, just a few guys working on their projects. I sold them a hand brake for bending small sheet metal parts and some punches. I had no idea what I was walking into, I just figured I could sell them something for sheet metal fabrication as I worked for Kennedy Machinery in Anaheim and we specialized in everything for forming sheet metal. I only saw parts of the car, there wasn't a completed unit at that time. What an experience, a story I still tell to this day and almost everyone I tell it to has no idea what I'm talking about....lol.

[@brandall101]

There weren't any W2s around? They made nearly as many of those as W8s and they had been around for about a decade prior, just couldn't get them past the prototype phase. I had a poster of a W2 on my wall for much of the 80s and many an automotive journalist had written about it.

Avionics Technician here, those things on the "fuse panel" are Klixon circuit breakers. They are extremely handy as you can not only push the breaker back in if it happens to pop, but you can manually pull the circuit breakers if you want to pull power from a specific piece of equipment. Great for diagnostic/maintenance/emergency power shedding purposes. Very surprised to see them alongside a Hobbs meter front and center in a production road vehicle. The wet compass, air vents and fuel cap are also absolutely aircraft parts. Very cool stuff.

[@______IV]

I live a few miles from Vector’s old ”factory" in Wilmington, CA. My dad was merchant marine, and the MM&P hall was a block away from Vector, and Jerry Wiegert’s silver Vector was usually parked out front. To 10-14 y.o. me, that thing looked like an alien craft. It still does actually.

[@JoeVinson]

They were here in Florida, too. Green Cove Springs.

[@Masssshysteria]

holy hell their factory is wilmington? i use to live very close to wilmington in the south bay That cities a gang haven

[@______IV]

@@Masssshysteria : Wild to know how close you were, huh? Their address was 330 N. Marine Ave. Now it’s just a nondescript white building mostly blocked by a fence. On Vector Motors Wikipedia page though, you can see what the facade looked like back in the 80s, and even see Jerry Wiegart’s original Vector W-2. My dad took me to the maritime union hall one time when he knew Jerry’s car was parked in front of the Vector "factory." He told me about a time before he knew about Vector Motors, when he had been driving from L.A. to Vegas. He was in the desert lcruising at 65 mph (which he thought was a pretty good clip) in his early 70s Citroen DS, when in his words "A UFO passed me on the street going so fast it felt like I wasn’t moving at all." He stopped at the next gas station, and saw Jerry’s silver W-2 parked there, but said even then it looked more like a fighter jet without wings than it did a car. He talked with Jerry for a bit and that’s when he found out how close Vector was to the maritime union hall. After I saw that silver Vector, I became obsessed, and went to every annual Los Angeles car convention so I could see the Vector. Almost 40 years later and I still have the various single sheet brochures they handed out at the auto shows.

[@gordocarbo]

Loved it when I first laid eyes on one. Never forgot it and shocked to see a GM mill thought that was super cool. This car was rediculous quick and impressive top speed. Only thing as fast would be Lingenfelters sledgehammer

[@______IV]

@ : The Sledgehammer! Wow, now that takes me back. I worked in a bookstore in 1991, and we had a book titled something like "World’s Most Powerful Cars." It had both the Vector and the Sledgehammer in it. It also had the more standard super cars of the day, but it was chock full of one-offs too. With my amazing salary of $4.25 an hour back then, i couldn’t afford to buy books even with my 10% discount. I’m bummed that tome never made it into my collection.

I worked the tranny up to fifth gear, then pushed the pedal to the floor I was mostly looking out the windshield only glancing at the Speedo as I climbed past 120 and hit 121 mph! It was ridiculously fast, but the RX-7's "sport suspension" kept everything quiet and stable. Unless I was on a racetrack, I do not want to drive faster than that. 😮

The screen itself coming from a fighter jet is probably bunk, but the way information is presented is very similar to American fighter jets of the era. Same with the black, square, otherwise featureless pushbuttons with orange back lighting, and the caution lights as well as how the panel is fixed in place. And those fuses next to the wheel look like they actually _are_ from an American fighter of that era. Definitely all gives off F-16 and F-15 vibes for sure.

[@almightyIrie]

@@hvymtal8566 yea speed- and rpm tapes surely replicate some Air Force jets' speed- and altitude tapes, but the screen itself surely wasn't built into any of those jets. At least not like that, might as well been used as a panel for a UFCP (or whatever these things are called in Eagles and Vipers, i only "fly" virtual Navy Hornets) of sort, with some shrouding in front of and some pushbuttons next to it, albeit i'd doubt that as well.
