I see your sling is red so you can stay ahead of the yellow and orange ones that reside in Indy!

All stock so far....except the shift knob!
Now that's not all stock is it? Welcome to the forum and it's time to light up that credit card! There's over 400 accessories that go with that knob.

Aftermarket gasoline???
I only use Polaris gas. And if it's not available I hook up a sail and use wind power!

Thanks All! Yea, we rented a Slingshot while in Ft Myers during our Anniversary in April.... you know how the rest goes!
Go figure, Jim C and I work at the same place, so I've been picking his brain for a few weeks. Beth got our backup camera replaced today so that works now. Also bought a battery tender (previous owner was nice enough to mount the plug just left of the glovebox). Thanks to the Indy SS Riders for making us feel like home in the first 30 days of ownership, from Ale Emporium to the Cookout at our place, to the impromptu birthday gatherings. Looking forward to learning this forum. Much to learn, much to learn.... Now we gotta meet @PainterLooking forward to it!

I don't know if he's on here yet, but one of the guys who works on my little corner of federal land here in Greenville came back from the dealership a week or so ago with a brand new midnight Sling, after he took his bike in for an oil change. They got 'im! LOL. Anyway, its weird....there's fewer than 20 people on the compound, and two of us have Slings. Yaaaay, I'm a bad influence!

Hi all! So it took me 3 years to finally jump into a SS. Health issues and lack of a turbo version were the main issues, but when I saw the midnight cherry color, just had to pull the trigger. Name is Todd and live outside of Albany NY. For me, it's about the speed, tunes and having fun. First week I had the thing I ended up passing an off duty officer who asked me "do you think it was a good idea to pass me when I was going the speed limit"... all I could say is "well, at the time I did...". Still can't believe he let me go, but what the hell, I'm not arguing with an officer who CLEARLY thought I was in the right!
Upgrades... well, threw the horn out within 24 hours of me getting the thing and switch over to the largest air horn I could find. Wired a secondary 1600watt (max) amplifier into the stock stereo and added two 10" subs and 2 more sets of 6.5 Kicker marine grade speakers to it all with LED's. Also did my own underglow kit in the front and created my own brackets for wheel well LED's as well. Figured with all that, they can hear and see me coming and yet still almost get run over with people whipping out their cell phones to get a picture as we go by.
So brings me to primary reason for me joining this group! I need more speed and want to do it right. Hopefully learn from others mistakes.
So any stats on turbo and supercharger numbers are MUCH appreciated. I also wanted to see if anyone has ever tried putting a 20 inch wheel on the front that is 255mm wide (10 inches)? If my math is correct, it can be done with the wheel sticking 0.5 inches farther out the sides, but worry about the width of the tire making the steering a bit too stiff. Thoughts? Inside looks like I have 1.5 inches of clearance from the stock sway bar, so if I steel an inch... maybe... What I do have coming in is a 12 inch wheel for the back that I can get a 315mm drag tire on it (was thinking of the Nitto NT05F). After that, new shocks and hopefully ready to start doing some engine work!
