[Tango]

power to weight ratio similar to a Mustang GT or Camaro SS

 

[dragonacc]

Anyone think it's odd that the front wheels are wider on the SL, but the rear wheel is wider on the base?

 

[748eric]

HP to Weight Ratio will be plenty for this type of vehicle. Biggest challenge will be getting that power down to only one wheel. Polaris has gone above and beyond with this new Slingshot! Looks like I'm going to have to make some room next to my Polaris Snowmobile and ATV!!!

 

[4Nines]

I can wait to see what size tire we can squeeze on the back of it

 

[Tango]

I think a 10" rim is def. safe for the rear (the 18" is 9.5) so at least 275-285. Will have to start testing once I get mine in Oct.

 

[Scott6by]

hum down on HP "but if it's an Ecotec that's not a problem XD" and up a bit on weight but AWESOME!

do they tell what colors it comes in yet besides silver and red?

 

[Tango]

Only silver and red. Mine will be receiving a wrap so it won't matter to me.

better yet,, can you sqeeze a turbo under the hood...

 

[Tango]

I also feel a "lightweight" thread coming on... I will def be adding lightness to mine ( Lotus)

 

[4Nines]

better yet,, can you sqeeze a turbo under the hood...

Looks like a turbo will sit nicely where the factory exhaust hangs

 

[Tuf-Skin]

I was hoping it would be under 12' long so it would fit into my toy hauler garage....

 

[Tango]

It will fit if you remove the rear tire after loading it... best I got for ya.

 

[4Nines]

If you have a door into your garage then maybe you could back the Slingshot in and have the rear tire fit into the door space?

If you have a door into your garage then maybe you could back the Slingshot in and have the rear tire fit into the door space?

Front door is on the side... so no go there.. removing the tire might work, but obviously not convenient... maybe ramps or modifying the ramp door would be another option... or just don't put it in there.. LOL

 

[4Nines]

One center ramp to back up on might give you just enough room to close the door.

 

[Tango]

Sounds like a new toy hauler needs to be on order by October.

 

[Tuf-Skin]

One center ramp to back up on might give you just enough room to close the door.

and a winch to get me out once it is parked... LOL
