The ss is wide and low. The stance is beautifully aggressive. Over a glass of johnny walker blue, it dawned upon me that every time I leave my house I'm faced with a decision. I can go the wrong way down the street or make a very irritating u-turn. Now in my f-150 every u-turn ends up being a three point turn. Have any of you gentlement seen the ss make a u-turn??? I don't care how cool you think you are, at the moment your u-turn becomes a three point turn YOU ARE THE WORLDS WHIPPING BOY! Someone please confirm that the slingshot has a nice tight turn radius. If you've read all this, then you're a trooper and I'm proud of you.

SlingshotForums.com What is the turning radius of the Slingshot?
James 35 foot, 1 inch to the outside of the tire.

I missed that. Would I get a letter from the HOA if I took a tape to the street?

Hahaha that's almost twenty feet less than my truck! Maybe another glass of scotch to celebrate?

...and the world mourns the loss of a potential whipping boy.

Don't worry everyone gets a good laugh watching me fumble around in my truck. When there's snow on the ground I drift every u-turn.

The Ford F-150 is and has been the world's best selling vehicle for almost 30 consecutive years.... so you're in good company with the turning frustrations.

You can get around the turning circle by starting to turn and getting on the gas to do a half-doughnut.

hehehe my f350 crew cab has a 58.8' turning radius. It is like docking the Queen Marylayful:

Same problem with my Chev double cab long bed. I plan my route out before I leave the house. Wife hates driving the truck and avoids it like a plague.

That's not a "bad" thing. I used to cringe every time the wife wanted to drive the dually, I just knew she was going to comeback a fender or two short........:greedy:

One of the first things I checked. The SS turning radius was 2 feet shorter than my 3 series Bimmer so it's gonna be ok.

And I assume that was without drifting the rear tire

Thanks for that! Doing a little research I've found the turn radius of the SS is about the same as a Honda Civic. Which is to say very tight. Of course we are all going to master the Hollywood u-turn. That's just a given. It's just nice to know that even tight city streets will be easily navigated.
