Pretty unusual color for a Vibe, I think I'll go after a custom paint job someday.

Came with a custom body kit, front ground effects, side flairs, rear bumper (hard to see in this pic)Custom drivetrain new 3V RWD engine, haven't gotten it dyno'd yet. Plan to upgrade to a 9V option, should triple horsepower, but not sure how the stock internals can handle the extra power and heat load. WIll try to get it to a track to see what kind of times I can lay down.

Got it for $5.99 + tax at a Rite Aid in Snohomish WA.Has a wired 2 function control, forward, and turns in reverse (pretty lame). supposed to be 1/24 scale. The yellow makes it look a lot like a Matrix. The store also had a Navy Blue Matrix, but I didn't buy itIt is made by a company out in Hong Kong called "Toy Things". You will get undesired results if you do a google search for Toy Things Vibe
