Vector W2

An American SuperCar of the 1980's that used a motor based on the Chevy 350 putting out 650 hp to the rear wheels. The motor was aluminum with twin turbos and sat behind the seats, but in front of the rear wheels (rear mid engine). It had jacknife doors like a Lamborghini. Vector Aeromotive was started by Jerry Weigert. It was later purchased by Proton, who also owned Lamborghini for awhile. Therefore, later Vectors had Lamborghini motors.

The Vector W2 (and W8) was in the same vein as Ferrari and Lamborghini, but the original versions with their American mechanicals were more akin to the GT40, Mangusta, Pantera, Saleen S7, Mosler, and new Ford GT.

55 Ford T-Bird

The original Thunderbird.

The 55 Ford T-Bird was the only T-Bird that was faster than a Corvette. The Corvette came out in 1953 with a SIX CYLINDER MOTOR! The 55 T-Bird cleaned the 'Vette's clock. The 55 T-Bird was probably the only reason GM engineer Zora Arkus Duntov got his wish of a V8 for the Chevrolet Corvette in 1956. The T-Bird never regained supremacy over the 'Vette.
