Excellent job, Kurt! Keep the videos coming. If anyone has the knowledge, it's you!

[Isaac]

Thank you for starting this channel, I am a Nissan and Vector fan as well, appreciate the insight!

[HotMetalVideos]

Great hearing the story of how you became an employee of Vector! Looking forward to future videos!

[eazyrider]

Fantastic video!! I'm so glad you shared your experiences with Vector and Jerry. Very much looking forward to more!

[Mechanical_Mind]

Such a cool story. What an amazing man Jerry must have been. For him to have invited you out to the factory at 15 means he knew you were something special yourself. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to watching the next episodes.

I will be in contact!!! We communicated a handful of years ago!!

I just stumbled across your channel....THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS !!! I am looking forward to watching all the episodes. The W8 is an amazing car, and I'm so curious to get the inside story ! My first car was a Datsun 280z, and the F1 is also my favorite car. The Vector is a very close 2nd....and for sure wins in styling !!! Nice poster of the F1 on the wall, I've got the same one on my garage wall. As an engineer, hearing all the details is fantastic. The F1 has a great book about its development...is there anything like that for the W8?? Ha ha I'd love to come sit in the W8 (no, I do not wanna drive it ! NO WAY ! I'd have a heart attack). but sitting in one and looking it over would be so awesome. The connection is fighter jets is a huge draw for the W8....that is what I did for a career (aerospace engineer mostly doing advanced design prototypes). Your story is fantastic, again thanks for sharing ! Working at Vector would have been a dream come true.

Love the channel. Not sure where the rights exist on the logos and such with Jerry's passing, but if you ever decided to make those t-shirts and sell them, I'd be first in line 👍

This has been a long time coming! Thank you for starting this channel, Kurt!

Thank you for sharing your Vector with us. With hardly any information out there about this rare car, I look forward to learning more about my dream car!

[MichaelBlueMusic]

Well, I know what I’ll be binging tonight! You have my favorite of all the W8s made. Thanks for sharing her with us! 💙

What an awesome story, I remember seeing a white Vector W8 in Laguna Beach on vacation in the early ‘90s. It was like seeing a spaceship.

I helped move alot of stuff from 330 marine recently. Asked alot of questions, really interested your take on Gerry

[ianro]

Thanks for sharing Kurt I've loved the car from the start truly wonderful can't wait for more posts and info on the car also if you can show any differences in production from the early cars to the later ones
Many thanks from a fan in England..

[scottlucas]

Thanks Kurt I see your still at it. Maybe tell us more about you and time at Vector and Gerry

[ricktapper]

Kurt, thanks for sharing. I remember seeing Jerry and his W2 at car shows in the 80’s, also saw him cruising it one night in La Jolla Ca. what a awesome super car. I believe you need to get ahold of Jay Leno and share with him, put good gas in it and turn up the boost. The W8 would sell today, only would need electronic updates not any exterior changes- as this was and still is the best looking super car ever!!

[jasonmaiden]

Awesome story! I think I'd have fainted had I been picked up in the W2! Can't wait to hear more!

Sitting in front of the W8 would have been better for the video!

I've wanted a Vector ever since I 1st saw them in the 80's car magazines when i I was around 9. Unfortunately I was too young at the time to do anything about it! Cars and technology like this led me to were I am today, an engineer in the auto industry. Just wish my time was sooner to have been involved in such a project seeking perfection, I would have loved working with Jerry, and to have been in a position to own a W8. Best car ever as far as I am concerned, cause its the complete package. No one cares much about building quality vehicles, with attention to detail, taking manufacturing into account and pushing the technology, and taking no short cuts, thats as much a must have for me as is the looks and performance, which are hands down the greatest for the W8 in the supercar world, even today. So glad to learn more than I already knew about this masterpiece of a car, this is a critical series of videos to preserve the history of the greatest american supercar. Unbelievable job Kurt, and what a treasure you and your W8 are!

I would like to know about acceleration and top speed.
