No, you're still wrong SSAINT.

I don't hate the Polaris. I find the Sling interesting, but there's not a whole lot of details out about it yet, understandably. That X-bow is the fugly thing that would look better crushed, IMO. Don't care how fast it is. Should have directed my "hate" more clearly. Either one should satisfy an acceleration junkie, though. But that X-bow...it kinda reminds me a little of a Cub Cadet lawn tractor.

I was only talking price and features about an LS and the Slingshot (SL model). Heck, a tank is lighter than most 5th Gen Camaros. So without any weight I would expect the Sling to have blistering acceleration. But you also don't have much in the way of safety, whereas the Camaro has all sorts of air bags, onstar, etc. That's why I'd be a bit concerned as to how the insurance companies would look at it, and more importantly, how they would price their policies with it. Might be surprised and it won't be that bad, who knows? Looks like it would be a lot of fun, but I'm not sure it'd be fun enough to want to own all the time.
