What year has been the best Vector RS

[Groomerdriver]

and that of just about every racer, tuner, builder, engineer and manufacture of internal combustion engines.

and of course this makes it right.

no, the fact that it is a superior method of introducing fuel into the engine makes it right.

you're too easy.....I'll stop now!

I have an 06 Vector with a lot of miles. There are a bunch of known issues every year, but the first couple of years are the least desireable because they have the most bugs to work out. But IMHO, stick with an 08 or newer because the 05s did not have the mono suspension, and the 06's have a weak front arm that was significantly improved in the 07. Then there the ongoing discussion of the chain tensioner, and oil tank in the 05 -07 models. I would like the the FI Nytro motor started in 09, but still love my 06 however (it is paid for too!)

I am also looking at buying a vector budget is a bit of an issue for me and the 05 is going a bit cheaper then the 06s just wondering becides the timing chain tensioner issue any other problems on higher milage 05 vectors ? should i be going to to bank to buy a newer model ?

You should get the 06 or newer because the 05 did not have the monoshock suspension which is very nice. If you can find a GT, those have the GTYL clicker front shocks which are also a very sweet item. Just my opinion. If it were me, I would look for an 07 or later because in 07, they fixed the weak front W arm in the skid and I think made the handwarmers better.

We just bought a 2010 RS LTX leftover. It was $9700 US for this time of the year the deal was good enough for me.
We the improvements it should run for quite a while the way my wife drives it so it's worth the extra $$ to us.
Good luck

We'll I must say after having some time driving the wifes 2010 RS Vector LTX I wish I could sell my 07 Attack as it has two much power for me. That sled is just right power wize. After 3 years into retirement I still find the Apex Attack to responsive. I bought it because it was the only 136 track with FI.
Probably take a beating now to sell it even though I drive it like an old lady. Too bad.
