  • wheels and tires

    Contact Mitch @ RevDynamics. He walked me through and made some great recommendations while working with me and helping me decide which wheel would be perfect for my set up and desired look. I thought the wheels were just lying around in a warehouse someplace, but he told me my wheels had to be made and cut for the particular offset, etc. I love them and was thinking about getting a 345 wide rear wheel cut to give it a more custom look in the rear.

  • Purchasing Used Slingshot

    Yeah, you have to be ready to jump on it and put some money down to reserve it until you can take a harder look at it in person if possible. I bought mine from a dealership in Indiana.....I live in Ohio and it was a 3 hr drive to check it out. My back-up plan was that they had several other SS in my price range, so I knew I was planning on getting smthg. The one I went to look at had some minor damage that I didn't like, so I switched to plan B and put some money down to hold it. I came back 3 weeks later to pick it up. I was going to use uship, but then decided that it would be more fun to drive it back and get used to it on a 3 hr drive on a nice sunny 70 degree day in April. Hope you find the one you need! Happy hunting!

  • Spray Wax Favorites?

    Who needs a detail spray when you have a matte finish! It wasn't my ideal choice to get the GT with the matte paint, but I had to get it for the reduced price and best band for my buck. Chemical Guys sells TONS of products (almost too much) that assist in you taking care of your ride. They have a matte detail spray that can be used on just about anything from wheels, dash board to clear windshields. I typically just grab it off amazon for about $10. I also use a lot of Meguair's spray wax and detail spray on my other toys! I only use Meguiar's products, except they don't make a matte finish detail spray.


    I was half tempted one day to take a buffer to the matte paint and make it shine and then I realized how much work that would be for the entire vehicle and decided not to try it. The guy at the auto body paint shop told me that matte paint can be buffed to get a polished look shine. Not too sure on if that's true or not.

  • Time to service the Slingshot....

    Here in the Midwest Ohio, I still ride all year long. Lowest was 5 degrees at 500am in the morning for a 30 mile commute. No issues with a tall windshield and base layer gear. Only issue is the finger tips get cold. My two pair of heated gloves don't help, so I don't even use them anymore. As long as the roads are dry, no matter the temperature.....I'm riding!! Had my 10k service a couple of months ago. It's great having an Iron Pony Superstore less than 5 miles down the street that work on a first come first served basis!

  • Where Did You Take Your Slingshot Today?

    Rain and snow mix for the past few days here in Ohio. I left the garage door open and fired her up and let her run for a bit before shutting her down and connecting back up the battery tender. Typically, I'd be riding in this type of temps but the wet roads I don't mess with. Zero degrees and dry temps I'm out turning corners and having fun!

  • helmet laws by state

    Not really concerned what the law says in my state or any other for that matter. I ALWAYS rid with a helmet and the same goes for anyone else that wants a ride. You never know what can happen that can potentially save your life or protect you from harmful objects. My Sling, my rules!

  • 2020 Slingshot Reveal and info

    I like the front end design for the led lights. Not sure if the 4 led lights are just daytime running lights or are they actually projecting light onto the road. It appears to me the main driving lights are the one's in the center.


    Also, what do the buttons on the steering wheel control? Would like to see what the digital dash is all about. I like the auto version, I was never really a manual kind of guy because I don't drive hard or fast. I also like the center console just from viewing these pics. Will have to sit in one to really get a good opinion, but from what I've seen thus far..... not trying to trade up. Curious to how many parts can be retrofitted!

  • Gas gauge

    I have the 2018 GT and the factory stock head unit with navigation, etc. There is a specific button that you press that tells you how many miles you have left to empty as well as some other data about the vehicle. I only reference it when I have a bar or two left to determine how soon I need to get gas. I think it gives you more of an estimate than an exact science of miles to engine shut off. It comes in handy, but I only put 93 octane in her.

  • Have a few ??? for DDM Works......

    Quote from MADDMOE

    Im interested in the sway bar, sway bar end links, and the sway bar mounts BUT my issue is I DONT wont anything RED on my Slingshot, if it isn't Black or Blue its not for me..so with that being said, I see that you offer color choices for the END LINKS ( Blue Fire is my choice ), but is it possible to get the SWAY BAR in Blue Fire also ??? And the sway bar mounts in Blue Fire ???

    Im afraid to ask BUT have to, if the Polyurethane bushings in the sway bar mounts can be in Blue or even Black, instead of RED....??? And last but not least can you help me understand the 2 holes on the sway bar, I know one is for stiffness and the other for less stiffness BUT is that in relation to aggressive driving …??? Thank for you time & help...

    LOLOL.... I WAS THE SAME WAY ABOUT NOT HAVING ANYTHING RED ON MY SS. I ONLY WANTED GREY OR BLACK, BUT THEN IT STARTED TO LOOK TO DARK. THE WIFE SAID TO LEAVE SOME RED ON IT FOR A BETTER CONTRASTING COLOR. I'M HAPPY WITH HOW IT TURNED OUT. BEFORE I EVEN TOOK OWNERSHIP OF MY SS, I WENT A BOUGHT 8 CANS OF PLASTIDIP TO SPRAY PAINT ALL THE RED OFF MY SS.
