Default S2K against T-REX

I don't know if the T-REX is imported in U.S. but the point is that for the price, it is the closest thing of a race car !
I had the chance of driving it, and it's like an S2K but with a more aggressive response of the steering and a little more power ( Because it is lighter )
The handling of this thing is fantastic, the smallest move you make with the steering is answered by a light speed reaction of this street legal ground sucker.

I remember when these first came out, they were selling for around $25,000. and I seem to recall this was Canadian. $39,000. US is quite a large jump. That's a lot of money for what is basically a 3 wheel motorcycle with a GSX-R engine in it. (Or are they selling them cheaper if the buyer is in Canada?)

the original was cheap in the 20K(USD) range, they did a revision and the CURRENT price basically doubled.

i agee it is overpriced....if still in 20,ooo.00 range they would be very popular. i'm not fond of the raptor looking snout and headlight/mirrors.

i did recently see a Formula ford front grafted to GSX rear with original paint scheme for sale, it was much longer but totally cool, or totally weird...a little of both.

Here in Montreal it is a lot of money for a toy that you can use only 6 or7 months per year, but for some of you lucky guys it's another history !!!

0-60 in 2.8s, and to 100 in 6.3s

The UK mags don't seem to like those dual engined tigers. Not sure how they get the two of them in sync exactly.

I would still be happy with a S2000 powered Super 7 weighing 1100lbs like the WCM ultralight.... Just need to find the $30k to get one.

Trex---- ING UGLY - i wouldn't ever want one of those!
