Polaris Slingshot (1700 lb, 170 HP, 3 wheel toy)
I just saw this the other day. It's basically a track toy packaged as a 3 wheel motorcycle to avoid emissions and safety requirements. Priced at $20k it seems pretty reasonable.
I'm still questioning how well a 3 wheeled vehicle handles but they claim 0.9g's lateral acel. But all of the reviews give the vehicle positive comments on handling.
What's you thoughts on this? Do you think this would be a fun track toy and canyon runner?

Motorcycle insurance doesn't pay out medical payments. learned that one the hard way. after skidding on the highway @70mph, i got a nice big -o- bill in the mail.

polaris got together all the top hack designers fired from design firms after 3 months, pulled them into a boardroom with a large assortment of bros and a budget of only 3 wheels and this is what they got.
