the W8 suppositely gets 11 MPG

[Coventrysucks]

The Lister Storm is still being raced, a decade after its launch.

Somethingtells me that makes it slightly better than the vector which barely made it as a road car.

[fpv_gtho]

I don't remember that problem, the only vector that leaked fuel was that the Vector W2 mysteriously sprung a fuel leak before it was to race a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. the car caught on fire, but was restored.

so Vector doesn't have a fuel leak problem, just 1 got a leak like your car and have a motor mount break or a brake line split, it's not Vector's problem, it's just one of those problems that happend, and it was just 1 car right, cars have problems, none are perfect.

the only major problem with the W8 was that the early models (like in the pic) had a problem where the front end would lift at high speeds.

but they fixed that problem with the face lift they gave it (see pic below) solved the problem.

LMAO thats one of the funniest things ive heard in ages you know...

[Matra et Alpine]

but they fixed that problem with the face lift they gave it (see pic below) solved the problem.

and dropped the top speed WAY down.
Come on get the REAL figures on the W-8. Measured in final form ........

Its to bad GT2 never let the Storm or Vectors get up to their top speed stock.

[dydzi]

only lister look like a car, both are ugly though

You don't apply this rule to the Ford Focus obviously.

OWNED

Vector W-8 - 1 car out of 18

erm .... Ford Focus - 5 out of HOW MANY MILLIONS ????

[Esperante]

Lister. It looks great, performs great, and is still being used today. Vector, on the other hand...

[RS6]

I have a soft spot for the Lister Storm so I'll take that. I also don't appreciate 3 Speed Autos in cars of this performance.

[Karrmann]

You don't apply this rule to the Ford Focus obviously.

accually, I do, because the Focus isn't plaged with 1 problem, it suffers from TONS of problems lol

[fpv_gtho]

get over it Karrman.....i think its saying something when theres only 1 hardcore Focus hater on UCP

[Karrmann]

the lister looks sleek, sort of like a corvette or something. the vector looks all angular and retarded, and from what i understand, were prone to leaking petrol

nope, just a dirty lie/rumor.

Have you ever owned one? You can't really talk about a limited production car's stats and problems without gruelingly putting it through it's paces. Seeing as you're 12, I highly doubt you've gone anywhere near that. Besides, the people on that site are mezmorized by Vector and praise whathisface the creator as God. The site is bias.
