Default Vector uses....camaro part(s)?

I came across an ultra rare Vector m12 on ebay. I've always had a love for these cars. Dated looks now, but still its all american you know? The add says they only built 14-is that true?

The most interesting thing i noticed was that lol this ultra rare 1 of 14 car uses.....a camaro headlight switch? Or maybe it has full blown pontiac headlight motors etc but uses a camaro ****? What else did GM supply? i know the w-8 used a gm v8

The dash looks like a modified firebird dash. The lock button in the middle of the console is from a firebird. The vents are from a Firebird. I would say the headlight switch is also from a firebird not camaro. The steering wheel is from a third Gen Firebird.

I wonder if these were built off of F-bodies. The windshield even looks like it's from an F-body.

The W8 and also the first m12 was based on a GM v-8 motor. I think maybe they used an entire harness to make it easier. Could explain if they had GM air conditioning as well. Once megatek bought them, they swithed to Lamborghini V-12's. Ironically, thats why they went bankrupt. Switch from a $5,000 engine to a $35,000 engine and keep the original price!? the most popular version of the second vector never even got released becuase of it. They had to build the new one with a longer chassis and with the cockpit pushed forward a considerable amount.
