Looks like it could be used for research in combustion engine technology. Whilst the ICE is dated technology, laser ignition of fuel vapors in the cylinder would potentially simplify the machine, making it more reliable.

That’s true. It definitely commands respect and adept knowledge of entry speed and braking to that speed before you get into a turn...

But, but, but, because....with a gauntlet, you can break things with the sheer force of your fist! Okay, maybe a more apt description would have been the Incredible Hulk punching a road wearing a steel gauntlet.

Yeah, except having owned one, it was aggravating watching nearly 4 gallons of gas disappear in about 90 miles. I loved the power, but the range was horrible. I like some range with my bonkers horsepower.

Mind. Blown. If a setup built the way the Dragon has been will also carve corners, then I’m in - when I can afford one. That’s just an insane bike, and I love everything about it.

Given the hugely ridiculous prices I’ve seen on RV’s (class A, 5th wheel, travel trailers, and so on), this thing seems like a steal to me. Especially when compared to the prices of the Earthroamers.

The only aircraft that competes with first place for my all-time favorite aircraft. The SR-71 is my favorite, but this one runs a very close second.

Looks like it was designed and built in the vein of the Meyers Manx, something designed to head to the beach and drive on it on a nice, summer day.

I’ve had keen interest in this motorcycle since I first read about it here on Lanesplitter. I’m curious to see how it stacks up against the S1000R and the 1199 Panigale, it looks like it has the teeth to bite into their territory.

This one. On the two I’ve owned, the shaker hood scoop lived up to the name.

Okay, now that *does* sound like fun. I had no idea they were that light. Another advantage of the K-platform minivan - turbo 2.5L is an option.

Absolutely not! The brakes were an afterthought. Almost as though the engineers raided the parts bin for the Dodge Neon when they designed the brakes. It would stop, but it was like trying to stop an ocean liner. Apply brakes, and wait. And wait. And wait.

The 2013 I was driving, the suspension seemed fairly taught, and 283 hp out of the 3.6L made it a competent performer. It really surprised me with how well it handled and accelerated. It was no Challenger or Charger, but driving it was actually interesting.

The 2013 I was driving certainly handled and accelerated better than the 2003 I drove.

Maybe I did. I know it was capable of pushing into triple digit speeds no sweat.

Congrats, McMike!

Odd, the ‘03 and ‘04 Mach 1s I had didn’t have that problem. Wallowing front end on the ‘04, but the ‘03 had decent suspension tuning and handled like it was being guided by the Hand of God through the turns. Of all things on those Mach 1s, the rear end was not anything that felt like it would just wash out.

The sabers...they are clattering. Loudly.

This machine looks like something that would firmly plant your eyeballs into the back of your skull...very quickly.
