With that kind of power, I suspect that the rear tyre requires frequent
replacement. :-)

That looks like a piece of enormous fun, Jim!
I was surprised to see that neither the Wikipedia entry nor the official website gives
the power or the torque of the engine; I had to find a review, which told me that it
was 173bhp and 166 ft/lbs, respectively. That won’t hang around!

As I pulled into restaurant parking lot this evening, I noticed an unusual machine parked
there. A departing customer identified it as a Polaris Slingshot, and commented that it
was supposed to be a "badass" machine. All I had was my smart phone, so this is
what I got. A quick search revealed that it has a 4-cyl 2.4 liter engine and 5-speed
transmission driving the rear wheel with a reinforced belt.
