Geese. I'd never even heard of these things before until just seeing one drive down the road. Totally badass...


Slingshot 1




Slingshot 2


Slingshot 3



Pretty kewl for a very reasonable $20k

My dad had one on reserve in our towns dealership. When it finally arrived at the dealship we took it for a test drive. What a piece of crap. No power, sounds horrible and you have to wear a helmet to boot. Just a total turd. It does look cool though. Needless to say he didn't purchase it.

That's too bad, as it really did look very kewl. I've a buddy that has a Can Am and it actually performs really well. I just can't see the point in a ride-atop 3 wheeler, but this sit-in 3 wheeler looked to hit the mark. Hopefully they can work the kinks out, as it really is something unique.

Yeah they need to beef it up. For that type of car you need to be in the 4 second range for 0-60 to even be halfway interesting. This thing is more in the 6 second range. It wasn't cheap either. I think the one my dad had priced out was going to be roughly 30K.
