it will smoke the crap out of your rev for HP, althought the 151 isnt that much track under a turbo.. for $7k thought, thats a little steep for the sled. they arent light, so if your used to your rev, its gonna be a LOT heavier.. and you will definately feel retarted going to that chassis of a rider forward IMO. I would personally pass on that, it would be a fun sled, just not sure if its gonna be at ALL what your lookin for.

I preferred my Turbo vector over the turbo RX-1 for boon docking, it was an easier sled in the trees.

If your looking for a vector I would look at this one:

I have no idea who the seller is, I've just seen this sled for sale for a long time and I'm suprised it hasn't sold.

If you are serious about an Apex go buy that one, give him what he is asking cause that is the deal of the year by far. That thing will kill that Vector.

I dont know what kinda elevation you normaly run at. but its easy to throw around the 300hp number, i know I did when I first was building a turbo sled.. ride one at 225-250 and I doubt you will ever turn it up, unless you like to just flat haul *** out in the open.. another thing to consider, your rev made 160 at sea level... that drops off in a hurry, the turbo is 205 on the hill most likely. just trying to say, its easy to toss around numbers, but until you pilot one at those levels, its amazing how fast they are.

but either way, buy that apex, it has to be one of the sickest deals ever.. and that thing WILL be a hair faster then your rev.

I can't speak for the vector turbos but I have a MPI S/C on my 06 and it flat climbs. Will out climb Just about any stock sled I have came across. It is 220HP on pump gas. I love it and would suggest it to anyone.

Don't know if this one sold but it was in BC and not too bad of a deal for what is on it, maybe a little high. It would be way better than the rear mount.
