3 wheeler, 0-60 in 3.2 (Up to that fast, you can get them in 4cyls too)


Can be had for up to 60,000.

Then there is the Campagna T-Rex, which is unfortunately like $40k.

One study at UCLA indicated that up to 93 percent of communication effectiveness is determined by nonverbal cues. Another study indicated that the impact of a performance was determined 7 percent by the words used, 38 percent by voice quality, and 55 percent by the nonverbal communication.

the long one is INSANE. It's ugly as hell, but it was designed by an aircraft designer, and it does astounding things. You can read more at Vigillante Cover Page

Reason #1 why CA doesnt suck..

By the way, the Department of Transportation considers the Spyder a motorcycle, and in all states except California, Delaware, and North Carolina, you’ll need a cycle license to ride it. In those other three, a car license will do.

Not bad but I'd rather ride my bike.

Much faster.

Intriguing design. Looks awesome for top speed trials at Bonnevile salt flats.
Website is interesting but it's not clear how it can corner as hard as they claim. There's so much traction bias to the rear and so little weight over the front that you'd figure the front would push when cornering at higher limits.

Must be a hoot to drive, though.

The Can-Am Spyder seems much tamer but also more versatile for everyday use.
