I keep seeing these on the streets, what's the consensus on these?
look cool, seem way overpriced. Can't find any data on specs.

My coworker bought one last summer. he still hasn't driven it into work for me to pee on. Nearby NAPA store bought one for deliveries.

60mph in 5.2?

>>15297626
why not just get a motorcycle?
>>15297706
Cause they only have 2 wheels.
>>15297626
i've seen one on the road, looks extremely cheap and poorly made. for the price i'd rather have a base model caterham 7.
>>15297731
You'd never get a based model Caterham for the price.

>>15297702
you hold all the disadvantages of a motorcylce with none of the advantages
the only thing good is that you can smash breaks
>>15297757
>you hold all the disadvantages of a motorcylce
Yeah no. Exposure to the weather is the only disadvantage it shares with a motorcycle.
>>15297626
I'd buy a Manx dune buggy or just build a rail buggy first.
>>15297769
>hard to see
>easy to die in a crash
>lower traction than 4 wheeled cars
>>15297769
oh and the center tire will pick up the shit that deposits in the middle of the road, so enjoy oil slicks
>>15297746
well maybe not. a 280 is about $14k more than the slingshot but well worth the extra dough.
>>15297626
Poser mobile for people too afraid to get a Can-Am Spyder, let alone a real motorcycle.
I literally just saw one tonight and was like
>X-Bow.??? :D
>The fuck is that
Bikefags hate these to death.
Carfags hate them too.
also, lol 2.4 ECOTEC.
>>15297626
exclusively purchased by cucks
>>15297626
I've only seen niggers riding these.
Saw one in a showroom floor, got in, seemed nice. Like a sporty ATV or something, then a realized it was a 3 wheeler, and I walked away.
>>15298434
To be fair I'm a bikefag and I hate all trikes. Around here only visor wearing hair gel spiking assholes have those. Oddly enough dindus also love them and I've seen two that have been chromed out already.
God even the Can Am Fagster is better than this shit.
>>15298434
thats because bikefags like to think they are hardcore tough guy rossis. there's nothing more cringe than your average sportbike rider. not even honda owners.
>>15299358
>there are exactly two kinds of motorcycle
>Asian Ricer Crotch Rocket
>American Rumble Buggy
>>15299373
yeah basically.. are you denying it?
>>15299386
Don't know about him but I am.
>>15299402
wtf are you arguing then? what is your point?
that not all cruisers and sportbikes are japanese/american?
because that has literally nothing to do with what I typed at all.
>>15299358
>>15299386
>>15299402
>>15299414
I am extremely disappointed in both of you
http://www.clickhole.com/article/2-types-motorcycles-there-are-2487
looks like a fag car. Probably a bit faggier than a miata

gee i dont know maybe because you did the fucking definition of arguing.
>>15299508
Bullshit you spaz.
>>15299402
>>15297643
The engine is a 2.4L GM Ecotec I4 making 170-175 HP.
>>15299351
imo there is only 2 good excuses to own a trike.
>you're too old to balance a bike anymore
>you fucked yourself up somehow and can't ride a normal bike anymore
However theres no excuse for the slingshot besides for attention. Though I saw a really elderly couple driving one the other day and you can tell they just didn't give a shit so they get a pass
>>15299490
>WTF made you think I was arguing?
Oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse.
You want room 12A, Just along the corridor [stupid git].
It's pretty ugly for what it is the wheelbase seems to short or something?
>>15297626
If I'm going to spend money on something like that, then I might as well go all out with it
>the reason it has 3 wheels is because in america 4 wheel cas need to have side airbags and pass other safety regs
nice "freedom" guys

Also that thing between the driveshaft and chain drive looks doomed to fail.
It's a backwards t-rex
>>15297626
Why the fuck would you buy one of these when you can get an Ariel for the same price?
>>15301770
Maybe that's because ours have engines bigger than 1L
>>15301770
it's because there are actual roads here
>>15301069

A ecotec engine, well at least one part of that pile will last more than 2 yrs
>>15298434
>Carfags hate them too.
No I don't.
>>15301685
1 in 2 chance you'd flip it within the month.
>>15297702
Wow, kind of slow desu.
>>15297643
it looks like it was designed in the 80s.
>>15303493
Actually, let me rephrase, kind of slow for how many downsides it has.
>>15297626
Saw a few at bike week. All of them were tailor Queens. Kinda sad.
In my state you need a motorcycle endorsement to have one. But no bikers wave to them. Because it's a fkn car
>>15299373
>being this nobike
ew, fuck no
for the same price you can get a 2013 porsche 911 r with 190k miles with three times the horsepower
>>15303539
>porsche
>190k miles
M8
>>15303539
>buying a 2013 porsche with 190k miles
lolno
>>15297731
This. I saw one up close and it looked like it was made out of cheap unfinished blow molded plastic. Looked cool from >30 feet away though.
It's basically the 'I couldn't afford a Campagna T-Rex, so I got this instead' car
>>15297626
go-karts for faggots.

>almost 200k miles
That car is fucking ruined, I guarantee it.
>>15297626
I agree they're overpriced, but they look fun as fuck to drift in. Looks like it handles like a proper skid rig right out the box. I cans see the appeal if your rich and have money to waste.
pardon the awful song, but the footage is good.

>>15301705
I'm 100% with this man.
Why would you try to defend the US's shit nanny state laws in the name of nationalism?
The US is objectively a shithole when it comes to car regulation.
Safety is a person choice, and only fags are concerned with it.
