a rotary in a fixed RPM range running a genset, only running when needed? maybe having an “off”, “idle” and “charging” throttle settings, all managed by computer, keeping track of current battery level and rate of drain, to determine anticipate when to run? and being flexfuel capable? that’s my dream hybrid motor.…

wait, so the Feds produce data showing California, in spite of its big talk and internal “carbon credits” system, is still failing to meet standards. So the defense by CARB which is to say “nuh uh its totally okay” becomes the Truth simply because “they’re California and no government agency here ever lies to maintain…

that driveline needs to be placed into a Polaris Slingshot.

does it have the electrically actuated overdrive?

nothing some black, red and silver paint couldn’t cure. And about half the price. I pity the fool who pays full price and doesn’t do an A Team tribute!

too little, too late for me.

for me, the “worst part” is I still haven’t seen one driving about in the wild. Ive caught both of Ford’s GTs, Lambos, Ferraris, even a Veyron. Here in “you gotta spend it to prove you have it” land, here is where the man-children (yes I am jealous lol) buy all the latest and greatest toys and car spotters find…

need the state to subsidize these with the same amount they do Teslas....not percentage but dollar amount :)

I loved my SI. these around here, in decent shape, go for a lot more as “vintage” or “nostalgia” kicks in. Couldn’t hit NP fast enough

Ive always found this body style to be too sexy for my brain to think logically. I’d go NP even if it didn’t have a motor, so my vote here isnt worth much

I have some brushless outrunners and 4s LiPO from rc car projects. Might be able to double the horse powah with these! :)

if I could afford to finish paying on the truck I needed when I had nothing to drive, purchased under two years ago, and pay on one of these, I’d have a Gladiator now. If the Gladiator had been available 2 years ago, Id have one now. But the best I could find (and with a diesel) was the ZR2. works well enough but the…

remember, folks: these are also the same exploitative clowns who are pushing rental scooters and most rental bikes. Don’t enable these tools by using any of their services! The “rich” only gain power if WE pay them the money to get rich, and if we allow ourselves to be bought with cash.

funny, when I bring mine in, the dealers try to pay me to never do so again! :)

private citizens want to be offended, no problem. but when government officials get involved in outrage AS government representatives, then things are gone too far. Government going after a microbrew name that almost NOBODY outside their market would ever even hear of, is now nationally known. Hmm. one wonders, how…

with the right transmission the 2.8 turbodiesel “Babymax” would make one hell of a commuter. Im getting low 20's with my ZR2, and the Z71 with better aero (and no racks and crap bolted to the roof) has returned almost 30. In a lightweight chassis....if california werent’ so against private automobile experimentation,…

subsidizers and politicians dont really care what apartment renters need. we’re not paying enough property taxes to be part of any grand scheme. its enough to make me want to get out the tinfoil and agree with the “government wants everyone in arcologies and unable to travel”, “they’re taking away our carz!” types

with significant uptake of EVs there is no longer a “off peak” just like everyone deciding that “going to Costco on Monday is better than Saturday because everyone goes Saturday” which means its now a nightmare parking on Mondays and easy in and out most Saturdays. as grid suppliers and capacity wonks use this excuse…

I love these cars so much. but Ive seen many of them, priced higher and lower, abused beyond all reason. If I knew the thing was factory correct, pristine and almost perfect after a good mechanical inspection, I’d NP this right away. And if it were in California probably be calling someone to arrange the sale

I wonder if this is on a 3rd or 4th owner. looks like the one a coworker had wanted his entire life. got a “good deal” on it, and sold it a month later finding the dream didn’t meet expectations. seems that’s happening again?
