North-central, perhaps?
@Bill from Hahn RaceCraft Northern Florida? I am in Northern Florida which is even really Florida more like Southern Ga. You are about where Florida really starts.

Had no idea you existed!
Couple of suggestions:
1. Make the flyer bigger - my old eyes can't see type that small
2. On your website you have dark red text on black background, looks cool, hard to read.
Thanks! We've been laying low on the big scene as we build our local business in the northern Florida region, but our organization boasts half a century of high-performance four-cylinder engine success on and off the racetrack.
Great suggestions. I've now enlarged the flyer, and we've been considering revising the look of our site for a while. The red and black says "aggressive and racy" but the blue and white says "legible, Feng Shui." I appreciate the feedback -
Bill from Hahn RaceCraft started a new event:

We are edging closer to bringing this to full production based on the positive response so far, in two versions: one that would accommodate Slingshade-equipped machines (such as the one shown in this thread), as well as one for those with no top whatsoever. I'l keep y'all posted!

I doubt we can ever reconcile the public's widespread preference for automatics using our own sensibilities as a yardstick. Indeed, at the end of the day, such ruminations are largely irrelevant to Polaris' intention, which is merely to sell more units. We can argue the relative merits of eschewing the manual life, doing so along the lines of our own stick-shifty desires, until the cows come home....and as the prospective buyers of automatics can and will perform exactly the same mental exercise using their own preferences, the two effectively cancel each other out.
Myself, I'm pragmatic, so I always like to see the practicality of a situation emphasized over the opinions/preferences side, which I admittedly find much less interesting. Everyone likes what they like. I get that, and I embrace it, even applaud it...all the same, that doesn't mean I find endless dissertations on same even remotely engaging. Listening to someone trying to convince me/all that their preference is somehow "better" for this reason or that leads me to lose interest...perchance to daydream about more visceral things, like racing and sex and wicked rock n' roll. So if you ever see me drifting away smiling during a conversation, this is likely to be a reason why.
The practicality I like in this instance? More Slingshots sold, more cool people to meet getting into the game who might not have otherwise. So they shift differently than me. So long as it's the way THEY want to shift, I'm completely down with that. -
Thanks Kev, great stuff! Any word yet on specifics like bore and stroke or displacement? I am assuming it's a lighter engine than Ecotec, but that would only be an absolute necessity if the Autodrive automatic were in fact heavier than the Aisan 5-speed, which is by no means a lightweight unit, having been designed for much heavier and more powerful vehicles than Slingshot at its maximum torque capacity.
That said, even if Autodrive is no lighter than the Aisan, a lighter engine than Ecotec would open up some possibilities elsewhere on the machine to add features and their concurrent additional weight, so there's still an argument for a lighter engine.
Looks like the new engine design is edging ever closer to the motorcycle engine designs we've rotated the planet with for nigh five decades now, so that's a big plus for Hahn RaceCraft! -
Having now spoken to the original installer of the soundsystem, what we have to do is remove the dash upper panel, which will also necessitate removing the Slingshade. And off we go, tools-a-spinnin!
Thanks MADDMOE for the assist. -
Have a customer vehicle with this Pioneer audio system installed, it's a 2017 Slingshot. It also incorporates the visor shown. So far it has resisted my typical efforts at removing it, leading me to believe it has a unique method of attachment. Would any of you kind folks happen to know the method for removal? -

welcome to our discussion - long time no hear. You might think me and WOLF are arch rivals but we really aren’t - we just love breaking each other’s balls. Lookin forward to buying him a ribeye and fine Kentucky bourbon one of these days (if he ain’t a tee toting vegan which is possible 😂😂). Feel free to make a middle of the road comments - a lot of us are more middle of the road than you would think from the comments. Everybody really needs to move to the center more - there just aren’t any candidates that meet that criteria to support.
Heya Mr. Bill!
Oh no, it's not you two that are the arch-rivals...it's the respective political alignments I see here, just as I see them everywhere today. There is no allowance for moderates, or even moderation, in today's climate...which is a shame because we middle-roaders likely outnumber the extremists at each end of the spectrum. A two-party system is designed to keep society in a state of essential suspended animation where converging upon actualities and realities is concerned. It's a time-proven method of control. There will be no compromise, for to reach out and embrace is perceived as weak and disloyal. This has always been the case, at least since other competing parties were worn away over a century ago, but it's never been so evident as today.
A shame, really. Sure puts a dim glow on the "United" part of USA. -
So where do us middle-of-the roaders fit here? All I see is two arch-rivals slogging it out...

Was about 88 here today. Fall can come ANYTIME!

Looks like a helluva shop, Bill! I do get down to Florida occasionally, I'm gonna have to stop by and see if it looks as good in person as it does here (probably better!)
Just so you know, my wife will make me leave my wallet at home if I go visit you place!
You're always welcome...so is she! Hope to see you when you get down this way.

So... would this thing act like a sunshade if your sling didn't have a top yet?
Oh yeah, and can mere mortals afford this setup?
Just askin...
The current installation is integral to the Slingshade on the machine. We might explore a stand-alone version if demand is there.

Hi Bill!
Yeah, $650 sounds like a great deal! Just two questions...
1. Can I get 'em in red?
2. What is the total price with shipping, tax, etc.?
Yes, we have two reds: a standard bright red, and a darker candy red. Here's what the bright red looks like:
Total cost in red is $729, shipping varies with region, Florida residents pay sales tax. If you get me your full name, mailing and email addresses, I can send you an invoice with an exact total. Thanks! -
I feel you MaddMoe, and not seeing the other side of the communication stream, it's also hard for me to develop an objective analysis, so I tend to take that middle-of-the-road approach. Hoping you get it figured out with a minimum of fuss!
