Meh, it's pretty much an X-Bow that's been artificially handicapped by removing a wheel. Or, the Polaris version of a T Rex if you will.

 

[STANG KILLA SS]

its 1/2 to 1/3 the price of the xbow, trex, atom etc. that's what I like.
obviously those are better. but its like a Ferrari. what good is being more awesome if no chance at every owning/driving one.

THEY ARE AWESOME!!! sorry for the caps but i am excited, just left the polaris dealer meeting and after driving one, i am sold. stick to the road like glue, more than plenty power. completely different than anything i have driven/ridden before.

 

[STANG KILLA SS]

wow that's pretty bad ass.

 

[bilinvic]

I really like them too....I just wish the rear end view had more to it; I may have to do some sweet talking to my wife!

Well their four wheelers/atv's are crap so I could never see me personally behind the wheel of a road legal vehicle under that badge.


And nothing good has ever come from a three wheeled anything. Completely retarded idea, and not in the good way.

Yep, everything and everyone sucks. Good call.

I had a RZR 800 with over $30k into it.....I absolutely loved it. Polaris is on the top for me. The list of mods was huge.

Oh of course everyone would take a polaris over a honda, yamaha or kawasaki. :roll:


Polaris is the kia of the atv world. If Im under a rock youre on a whole different planet.

I saw one last Saturday. Looked better on the road than the T-Rex and pardon my French but the Can Am is just gay looking. Looks like a damn jet ski. I like it. I think I'd rather have an Atom (since I'm dreaming lol) but I wouldn't turn this one away.

 

[AJ.]

Most definitely! "thumbsup"

Truthfully, all of them are over priced Piles of Crap.

 

[RANOVRU]

Youve just shown your true ignorance but youre probably a polaris owner so it doesnt matter anyway..

 

[AJ.]

You're right, it really doesn't matter. :ror:

I think the concept is awesome, the power/weight is killer, and I am sure it's a blast to drive. I'm not digging the front lower bodywork, or the bodywork in the rear, but I think you could rip all that plastic off of it and come up with something cool.

It'd be a killer commuter blast around vehicle, and with Colorado not having helmet laws that would help in that. The ecotech motor has a huge aftermarket and can be built to make some good power. You could easily build up the motor to give you a 2/1 horsepower to weight ratio.

I'm not gonna lie, I've been doing some math in my head...

 

[STANG KILLA SS]

agreed. on the forums there already posting up existing turbo and supercharger kits for the ecotech that pump out over 400 HP.

ill be honest with ya, never thought id say this, but I think for what there going after, I think a FWD setup would have been better.

youd lose the ability to do donuts, but could put a lot more power down, and would make the on-power steering/handling nice. but would also make it even more nose heavy than it probly already is.
im sure someone will come out with a fat rear tire kit for it.
I like the concept and price point. id be curious what kinda milage it gets. has to be pretty good.

 

[jason]

Sure the new Dodge hellfire has 707 horsepower, but how dumb is that guy going to feel getting spanked by a 150hp car that cost less than 1/3 the money.

It's all about HP/LB, not just big HP like all the manufactures think now days.
