SlingShot Review

[Rob Rodriguez]

SlingShot review for you. I hate to say it but a couple of the things he says also pertain to the Spyder in my opinion.

I have seen a video of one rolling over in a parking lot on a sharp right turn. The left front wheel dug in and it rolled. I will pass on this car.

The video you refer to stated that the nanny was disconnected to see what would happen.

Slingshot

That was a interesting review. Hubby Bob bought the SL Ltd. We took off from SC to TX, NM, a week in CO, SD, Maggie Valley then home to SC. All I know is, you couldnt have slapped the grin off his face the whole trip. I was on my Spyder and I prefer that. He's off the two wheeler and I'm happy about that. We went 6000 miles and neither my Spyder or his SL had any issues except for the dirt bag who stole his SL cover. hyea:

Glad to hear that he likes it! :thumbup:

Slingshot....

You know, I don't care what the author says, this isn't a motorcycle...it is a "trike" but that doesn't make it a motorcycle. You don't sit "in" a motorcycle. A motorcycle doesn't have a steering wheel. The wording and classification from a couple of states are strictly to regulate use in terms of safety and perhaps revenue collection. What the states that say it is doesn't make it a motorcycle either. Sorry, it ain't no motorcycle.

I don't see the appeal of the car. It surly isn't a motorcycle because you sit side by side with a steering wheel. A can am is completely different, it has all the motorcycle features and more.

I think that the poor horse is getting tired of this... :shocked:
It is; what it is...
Who cares? :dontknow:

 

[wyliec]

Oh well, there's always next week to repeat what's been covered before.

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree:

But it's STILL fun!

every thing old is new again

Like Us .....Huh, Uncle Bob

:shocked: I think that I just swallowed my tongue... :shocked:

 

[jScotD]

I wouldn't mind having a slingshot.. but for that kind of money , I would probably buy a new http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=modelsMain&vehicleCode=MX5

The Slingshot has a lot of opportunities for farkles.

Image, a full windshield (removable), a roll cage (windshield surround and behind seats with central bar between front and rear), gull wing doors, heater box, integrated saddlebags large enough to travel a week or more, and a trailer hitch!

Drool, DROOL, DROOLL!!!!

I was asked to participate in a survey about the future development of the SlingShot...
They are looking at all sorts of possibilities:
Turbocharging
Automatic Transmission
Saddlebags
Trailers
Removable Hardtops
Lowered Suspension
Performance Brakes
Upgraded Interiors

They had a pretty extensive "Wish-List", and if they bring out about half of what was proposed; it's going to get interesting! nojoke
