I wonder what they're using for a rear end?

Did you by chance watch the video?

That thing is scary. Nothing to hang on to, nothing holding you in, my God that thing is scary.

not really. It has a hydrostatic drive, which limits the top speed to 25 mph. He would romp it and it wouldn't even pull the front tires off the ground, so I think it's prob. safer than your typical barstool racer which exceeds 25 mph, and doesn't have the track width or wheelbase to be as stable as that V8 setup, plus having all that weight down low, it's less likely to flip...

It says it can tow 2000 pounds, that's just effin cool, would make a good vehicle for pulling vehicles around the shop....

Good thing the barstool has a remote start available from the factory. Always hate that when the barstools not running when I get to it.....

I wonder how long it can be driven before it overheats???

Can tow 2000 pounds. "Oh you wanted to stop 2000 pounds as well??? Kiss brick wall!!"

What a good waste of metal. His prices are absurd as well. For what he wants for a "roller" or a runner you could buy a couple Honda Pilots or a good deal on a decent used mini buggy or a ten million other things that make sense. Bill

It's not about making sense, it's about being different, and people who buy that have both the desire to be different, and the wallet to fund obnoxious desires, lol......
