Oh, and while you're at it check out some of their hybrid jet-skis that they also want you to invest in.

"rookies.... koenigsegg still don't have a quality product over a decade on, and have delivered less then 10 per year since production actually started.
Vector created a car that would last the life of the owner, if that isn't over-engineering, I dont know what is.
You met any of the engineers on the project? I have, and regularly converse with one of them.
HP wasn't the marketing "hype" the top speed was.... Vector lowered it to officially "625 guarenteed hp, and 200+ mph" while most cars have well over 650, and each car will do 242 mph given enough space.
In the video I made, that was a 5 mph-150 mph in a scant 12 seconds.... An Enzo would be near there 10 years later.
Jet Bike was sold off in the 70's, then bought back for who knows what reason. I won't defend Jerry's goofy salesman status. But the car is one of marvels of automotive engineering the world has ever seen.
