On vacation in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and we did a tour with the Polaris Slingshots, wife and a twin in one, and myself and the other twin in another.
These things are a blast, that Chevy Ecotech motor sounds great and has plenty of power for continuous smiles. No helmets required here which I think are mandatory at home so that might kill some of the feel and vibe, not too sure. Anyway, the experience has inspired me to start working on the 914 again once we get home, forgot how much I missed that open air ride with the targa top off. |

You can rent them in town. Probably a better option, as they are good weather use only.

i'm curious too! as a motorcyclist, i gotta say it would be a good idea to wear a full face helmet regardless of the law.
nothin' like some flyin' debris to mess up that pretty face! |

914 doesn't require a helmet.

So, which motor would you swap into the Slingshot?
And how many years would it take? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) --DD |

Another advantage is that you'll only ever need three jack stands....

There is one of these riding around a few miles from me, now I know what it is.
This is in addition to a 917 Laser kit car ( VW bug power ) and a Mercedes SLS. I'm betting that they all belong to the same guy as there are not than many people with $$$ in this area. All of these cars have been spotted with a 1 mile radius of a $$$ house with a garage bigger than most houses 'round here. |
