After not much debate, but to much abuse I have finally wielded the ignore button. Goodbye Bigdog.
I have wasted time I'll never get back reading his inane/insane post. I feel cleansed.

This thread is about HF donating all their PPE to hospitals and other emergency medical people. It is not about their tools, go start another thread if you want to bash their tools.
I am grateful and thankful of their generosity in giving ALL their PPE to the fight to kill the virus on our behalf, even for the tool bashers.

Early M16 were fed smokeless ammo, no lube, gun jammed. Later M16 used a better powder and did not jam. Plus a lot of condoms were used, stretched over the tip of the barrel to keep mud and rain and crap out of the barrel.
Tuleammo should only be used for practice firing, not for self defense. To many fed ramp jams to be dependable.
Remember, the lion is the last to die in the jungle.
Just my two cents worth.

So if I buy nine tires and put two on each rim then I would not lose air?

Mama and I got together for the annual CMA prayer ride. Covered the Fire Department, Police Department, City Hall, Moore City School Department. We also stopped and had prayer for the Moore High School kids that got run over and killed. At the end of the ride we went to the Veterans Park and had prayer for all those that have stood and are presently standing in defence of this great nation. We also had prayer for the people that are in charge of running the nation.

Never had the urge to pay somebody extra just to delete the 21% of oxygen in my tires. How do they do that in a vacuum chamber? Do they hydrogen up the tire then let it out several times to get all the oxygen out? Just air mine up with regular old air, never worried about a quarter to half pound increase or decrease in air pressure. If you think about it airing up with compressed air then allowing the oxygen to leak out through the pores of the tire at some point I would be as close to your nitrogen filled tires as you are for free.

Wife hates it I store mine in refrigerator!
BD do you change the air in your tires? I saw on the net that O2 leaks out and just leaves the H part which could explode if you hit a pot hole or curb.🤦♂️

Hold off on the wedding until we can make it out there next summer. We could have a slingshot parade to the reception place. Hope you have pizza and beer.

As BryanL mentioned earlier in this thread, the e-brake lock will fit the stock handle with a minor adjustment. LargeCar uses one and he told me just had to sand a little girth off the bottom of the handle. You'll want to make sure that your knob isn't so slender that the lock can be pulled over it when installed.
Yup. Just take a little off the corners is all it takes. Just helps keep the honest people honest. The bad guys will get it no matter what you do.

Oh boy here I go. I took an oath when I went into the service to protect this country from all enemies foreign or domestic. Does that mean I can end Pelosi and be doing my sworn duty?

I'd be happy if in the mix they used real screws, bolts, and nuts and got away from the push pins. Minor stuff like that would go a long way for us more seasoned Slingshot owners. I do like some of the improvements but not enough to pay to trade up. On the torque issue, I see 8500 RPM stated, did they destroke the engine to get the R's but losing some torque?
I'm used to mine, it fits me, i have the mods i want, most of them anyway, its paid for and in the end will get me the same place the new one would.
The auto without the torque converter that acts like a manual is just like the VW 's DSG which I have in my Jetta, love it. It has the feel and drivability of a manual without the parasitic loss of power of the TQ. And it is very paddle suitable oriented.
Just my nickels worth.

I see some that dont like the idea of a front wheel drive sling. Mine will be not only front wheel drive but diesel as well. Just waiting for the le9 to crap out and the purchase of a jetty donor. Front wheel drive, not crappy angle/belt noise and 50mpg instead of 20mpg are big sellers for me. A plus is I can mod the jetta diesel a whole lot cheaper that the le9, and I get a paddle shifter to boot. Anybody want a gently used engine trans and final drive?

As the GM of the largest tow company in the nation (at the time) I hired a lot of drivers. I loved it when during the one on one interview the prospective driver would say "I had a hard time finding this place" . Guess what! That is one of the major requirements of the job, finding places. None of them ever got hired, just thanked and sent down the road. It wasn't all bad, I did sign their job search sheet for their unemployment benefits.

WOW. And I thought me and my family had problems. Seems that UK_Paul has rolled all our ailments up into one body, his. Needless to say but prayers and best wishes are being sent overseas for you and your wife. May God bless you and keep you.

I see nobody caught my error. What I meant to say is at 11000 HP they have more than three times the HP , unless your rocking 3666 HP.
Let's just say they have more HP and higher speeds.
I would highly recommend a few high speed test stops before the full out run stop, just in case.

Several problems with narrow tires. But the main problem is you have no tire to stop with. And secondly these tires are nylon and they are not used to having weight on them at speed. So 1 mile would be sketchy
Dragsters also have 11000 horsepower and go 330 mph, or three the HP and a little over twice the speed. I see no problems with control or stopping. Now 1100 a corner does raise an eyebrow.

Put narrower tires up front for less drag. Works for dragsters.

If you used the ECONO mode in cruise control the only effect I think would be is the throttle plate would move slower causing more loss of speed so cruise control would need to apply more throttle to catch up with speed loss. Then when cruise speed was attained the slow throttle response would cause overspeed. I could see a yoyo effect on the throttle plate thus your speed.
