Where's Sunstreaker?
It was an Oldsmobile transaxle: http://www.charlietranny.com/425THM.htm
I have a hard time understanding the claims of 240 mph... with a 3-speed. 0-60 in 4.2 seconds would have to be in a 1st gear pull. It says 625 bhp but there was evidently a way to increase the compression in order to free up a total of 1,200 bhp!!! That would have required racing fuel tho & I seriously doubt the transaxle could take that kind of power anyway. The Vector W8 was a super car for the gearhead & it is very much an interesting machine. Jay Leno should buy it, IMO, if only so it ends up in an episode of Leno's Garage!
