Received my slingshot Saturday

[rabtech]

I first have to say that no one should be trying to compare a Slingshot with a Spyder. I love them both. The Slingshot is like a tiny sports car. I am 6'3" tall and 300 pounds and I fit perfectly. I have no wind in my face and I get to talk to my wife which now get to sit beside me. I still have my RT Spyder and will have it for a while longer. I have reasons to ride each one at different times. I think in the summer the Slingshot will have heat issues on the passenger side. Yesterday it was 70 degrees and you could feel heat on that side. It wasn't bad but you could feel it. I put this post in the off topic area because I don't think Slingshot info should be pushed on everyone that rides a Spyder. And i wont go into any topics with it unless someone ask me about something. So if you want a specific picture or want to know a specific bit of info just post it here.

Here are a few pics. I have ordered the bigger wheels and tires. And I have added the tall windshield and infotainment system to it already. The wheels and tires should be in Dec 12th.

Thanks for the replies ,,,
I think i am the first one in Alabama. Cant tell for sure. But the truck driver said Hamilton AL was his first stop. He was dropping off two at 4 different dealers. They are trickling into each state slowly.
Texas, Indiana, Connecticut, Hawaii, and Maryland can't take delivery yet. Something about the law saying saddle and not saddle/seat. I had it sitting in my carport yesterday while I was cleaning out some space in my garage. It is a huge toy. Its wider than my F150 Ford.

Reggy from TricLED has had his for over a week and another guy in Florida has his also. You miss these things, Bob, not being on Facebook.

I see the Slingshot as a TREMENDOUS platform for all kinds of upgrades, farkles, etc. A lot of people are going to make a lot of $$ on the Slingshot.

Looks awesome, best of luck with it!!:clap:

I was trying to get some perspective on how large it is.....It's 2" wider and 10" longer than my Rewaco. It is a big beast no doubt.

Question: How w I d e are they actually?
The RTs are just a touch over 62" in width...
