View Full Version : what the h*** is this vehicle?
ptiemann 09-02-2005, 02:08 PM Seen yesterday, 5:30pm on 85S around Sunnyvale. I noticed it merging from an onramp while I was in the center lane, my cam was on the passenger seat and it was already in the carpool lane and gone gone gone (heavy traffic)
I want one. Anyone knows more about it?
abbid 09-02-2005, 02:11 PM If im not mistaken, thats the T-Rex.
Edit: I was right, More info here: http://fast-autos.net/roadtests/trex05/index.html

abbid 09-02-2005, 02:15 PM Scott - youre 3 minutes too late!
Pwned!
ptiemann 09-02-2005, 02:19 PM cool, but $43k is a bit too much for a toy for me.
Thanks for traxing that down.
BlueEyes 09-02-2005, 02:20 PM don't make me tap the post count son.
Rhawb 09-02-2005, 02:34 PM I say drop an R1 engine into that beast and let it rip :D
...I need a motorcycle :o
NVMYGT 09-02-2005, 03:14 PM What? Don't you watch MTV Cribs? ;) T-Rex ya herd?
th1rd3y3 09-02-2005, 03:30 PM Oh man, these are soo awesome. I'd like to get one for a summer commuter. Should be awesome on gas.
ptiemann 09-02-2005, 03:40 PM hm, yes, gas saver.
That's a way to justify it!!!
1.1 liter 4-cylinder engine, should get 60 mpg. Maybe a used one and trading in the RX-8?
@NVMYGT: I do not watch TV. Ever.
Rx-A-Ho 09-02-2005, 08:57 PM Just drop a Renesis in it. Smaller, lighter and more horsepower!!!!
nzarnow 09-02-2005, 11:44 PM What about the Ariel Atom? Has a supercharger option that goes 0-60 in 2.9 and can handle just as well as the T-Rex. Didn't have time to find all the specs, but you get the idea...

StealthFox 09-08-2005, 05:01 AM cant get the atom in the states though
mike1324a 09-12-2005, 11:10 PM I think you can have one shipped here
Diabolical RX8 09-12-2005, 11:16 PM What about the Ariel Atom? Has a supercharger option that goes 0-60 in 2.9 and can handle just as well as the T-Rex. Didn't have time to find all the specs, but you get the idea...

It doesnt look as cool as the T-Rex does. Remember you got to look cool. ;)
cLLcLe 09-12-2005, 11:24 PM It looks like a toned-down version of the batmobile =\
