Vega may just about be viable. Just. Pred isn't in the morgue, it was in the ground a long time ago.

Actually Col, I think the Vega part is now less viable than the predator part. The vega is almost worse as a going concern in its present form as there's nothing to buy, which is why I wasn't interested in that part of the company. I did the math and i could see no way of taking it forward without starting again from almost scratch. There's no viable vega product at all right now in the present conversion kits, bar a small spares supply. If you were going to do that, you may as well start up a new company to go with the new designs and pay nothing for the vega brand because there's nothing to really take forward.
The predator design could, just, be resurrected if you could get it for what it's presently worth. I.e, not much

The design still has potential with some modifications and design changes that could be undertaken. The only thing keeping it in the morgue is TX.
And that's always been the real problem, not the car or the brand as such, just TX and how they have handled it.
So as much as I respect your views and agree with most of them, I don't agree with you or Ron that the predator is buried - yet - as a viable design. Just the present brand and company. Different things.
Lets end it on a positive note. You never know. The Preds spirit is still alive. Sometimes miracles do happen...
