My bucket list just got longer...
 
A guy down the street just took delivery of one of these things a last week, and it's very cool. 0—60 times close to 4 seconds. Not cheap.

I crawled all over it for an hour and it looks to be exceptionally well made. Jewel-like in fact. Complete looney tunes of course, but hard to imagine having more fun in a vehicle than donning the old leather cap and googles and blasting through the hedgerows in one of these. And there's a Morgan dealer just 20 klicks from here....

Jolly good. Pip pip. What Ho!

Totally pointless.....but totally cool.

Okay, am I the only nut job here who is thinking "let's see, hyabusa engine, suspension from an IFS atv..."

Come on, I"m not the only one right? I mean heck, if you're gonna be a bear be a GRIZZLY! :D

Forget about that "prius as a daily driver" stuff, GIVE ME THIS WITH 'BUSA POWER and I shall RULE (and get 50 mpg - IF I can keep out of the throttle - LOL)!

This car needs a deep rumble. I personally HATE the way the Hayabusa (or a GSX-R for that matter) sounds.

Agree completely.

I hate to burst your bubble, angela, but a prius gets better mileage than a hayabusa (which gets nowhere near 50mpg). Plus, someone already makes what you're talking about... it's called a T-rex.

It's brilliantly tuned.

It has a very healthy rumble, and then just blats when you floor it. You absolutely hear the thing coming and turn your head, but it's not that familiar and somewhat obnoxious Harley noise.

Seriously cool.

I think its a Ace Liberty Car is it not?

I'd love to have one, but its not for Fat people at all.

masraum 05-26-2011 07:50 PM

I drive past a place that sells those once a week when driving to lunch. I suspect they are fun, but I think they are pretty pricey. Id rather have a Lotus/Caterham 7.

Laneco 05-26-2011 07:51 PM

Holy smokes - THAT'S THE TICKET!!! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat3.gif

THAT is what I want! Fuh-getttabout fuel economy - I'll ride the bicycle and save the gas so that I can run that WFO!!!

Something that cool has got to be expensive... It's expensive, isn't it? :(

And Graham? You're right, now way a 'busa gets 50, heck my CBR 600 didn't get that. DOH! Sorry! You know what is occuring to me? I just need to get another motorbike.

Nice... It's great to know someone is still making cars like this.

I'd have one for sure.

Go Here:

Ace Cycle Car of Seattle, WA

I think they are only about 35K

Good luck.

Amateur.

Go strap yourself in an F3000 for a few laps.

You'll forget all about that pansy twin cylinder.

speeder 05-26-2011 10:01 PM

Where's the other half of it? :)

sketchers356 05-26-2011 10:13 PM

Very cool, much better than the TRex which is too much of a rappers toy-but otherwise also awesome.
