Default Patriotic Paint Job

A friend of my in-laws throws a massive 4th of July party every year.
He's very well off and is a massive car nut. One of his friends drove this to his party this year. I haven't seen one of these cars in a long time, plus it's sporting a cool paint job. Enjoy.

Yep, a '96 Vector M12.
According to the placard, it was built on a lengthened Diablo chassis and is 1 of 14 cars built between 95 and 99.
Lambo 5.7 V-12, 492 hp

They apparently ordered the chassis' and engines from Lambo, so no Diablo was massacred to create a Vector.

Interesting side note from the Wikipedia page:

The Megatech LTD Vector M12 earned the inauspicious award from AutoWeek Magazine as being the worst car ever tested in the history of AutoWeek.
