Default Polaris Slingshot Thoughts

Has anyone seen the new Polaris Slingshot? Its pretty cool there using a GM motor. How long do you think it will be once someone throws a LS motor in there?!

An LS would be overkill and too big. Throw an tuned LNF in that thing. 300hp and 340ft/lbs in >2000lbs would be a lot of fun.

What I was kind of thinking.

Actually not to badly priced for what it is imo.

That seems like an awesome driving experience for the price, that's some bang for your buck !

It has got an Ecotec in it so I love it! Other then that, I don't like it. Power to weight ratio should be closer to what a normal street bike has....
