• Much more expensive, better HP/lb ratio, fewer safety features. Always liked the look, but too expensive for me.
    Back in 2010, while visiting Orlando, we drove down to the Miami area to check out a home-built reverse trike. It was loosely based on the T-rex/G-2/family of reverse trikes*, but was more angular than the rounded lines on those vehicles. I had scraped the money together, but there were too many uncertainties for me since it was a home-built.

  • Several used T-Rex’s for sale in the mid-40s - so yes, quite a bit more expensive.

    The other thing that struck me is there is not much in front of the occupants in terms of frame / structure.


    Dimension wise, the Slingshot feels larger overall - especially width. I bet I would be rubbing shoulders with the person in the passenger seat.

  • I'll be 100% HONEST, IMHO its a wicked cool looking machine, and way nicer ass than the Sling. I was real close to buying one prior to Sling, but with the kit I wanted I was looking @ $60K+ 8o ….There's a dealer in Foxboro, Ma and other than that no one around where I live if an issue. I have seen a few up close and personal. Machines haul ass ,Hyabussa MOTOR. If they came down on price, they could be a huge seller...

  • @BONES - from what I read they use a BMW inline 6 turbocharged.


    I too thought it was a good looking machine.


    Other than 3 wheels, quite different from the Sling.


    Definitely would like to take a ride in one. I am a taller guy so trying to get in and out with the roof might require some contortions

  • Switchblade Doors?!?!?



    Might be a choir...but, think of the looks you would garner!!!!

  • doors? windows? a roof?


    yes it looks wicked, but I bought my Slingshot to be open like a motorcycle not just another sports car


    but it is cool, just not even close to what I wanted

    I'm on the same bus as you. Too much like another Sports Car. But given the opportunity, I could see me in one. I just wouldn't have as much fun as the Slingshot. Truth be told, I think I would rather have the wind in my face, and what hair I have left, blowing in the breeze. Yeah, pretty to look at, but my choice is still the Sling.
