I swapped a ls3 v8 in a sling

and a 4th wheel

WHAT DID YOU JUST DO TO YOUR WARRANTY!

How well does it drive?

You have a video with some revving or on the road shots?

For the record:
That... is.... AMAZING!!!!

(and you should never EVER let me drive one)

For the money it takes to do that conversion it had better.
Add it to the price of the base slingshot and your getting close the upper level sports cars, like Porsche.

The slingshot for performance is pretty damn amazing even in stock form with crap tires, brakes, and tires. With just basic upgrades, suspension, tires, brakes the machine eats corners like high speed roller coaster.

Adding a V8 and a 4th wheel with a weight at 2k the power to weight ratio is insane! I own allot of exotics and high HP cars 700+ but the last few summers they sat in my garage while I drive a 20k upgraded piece of plastic with a smile from ear to ear.

so much more fun than any Porsche and it would kill it in every performance aspect!

$20K? Is that your price on it, and not everyone else's price?

In stock form one can be easily had for 20k and its worth every penny!

Oh, just the Slingshot; without the 4th wheel and the LS3, correct?
Yes, I agree, and there are some used that you can find cheaper then that.

Just looked. The only thing I see in common is some CAD.

I would rather spend 17K for a HD V-Rod if I were looking for 2 serious business wheels.
