Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Vector Twin Turbo Designer Passes Away (NFC)

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

Ron Tonkin (Portland Ferrari dealer) had one.  I thought the build
quality was appalling. They said at anything above highway speeds, the
windshield was wanting to come out.  Thought it was odd that what was
promoted as the ultimate supercar had a small block Chevy in it.  And
a three speed auto, which was likely a TH400.

Curious feature was the bench seats.  Wiegert apparently wanted the
car to be usable for "romantic encounters".  Wouldn't be too terribly
romantic if the driver ended up in the passenger's lap on fast left
hand corners......
