Woo wee as long as you don't have to go around any corners..

[thekingofpain]

Heck with goin around corners---ya gotta love the fact that a major auto manufacturer would even participate in thinking this way and making it happen as impractible as it is---the merg of Chrysler/Dodge with Mercedes has only just begun---
Viper
Prowler
PT Cruiser
Crossfire
Concorde
Hemi Trucks
All good stuff...

(You wouldnt really wanna try and ride that thing, would you?)

I'd pay to, and I'd even leave a secuity deposit 'cause I'd probably not survive.

This bike was featured in the Apr. 2003 copy of Popular Science. This thing is incredibly impressive. The engine is that of a Viper, chasis milled from a solid piece of aluminum, and was inspired by the Tomahawk Cruise missile. Did I mention the going price for these will be set at $200K?

This bike is actually sitting on four wheels – not two – and the revolutionary suspension stabilizes itself, while keeping all four tires on the road, to almost forty-five degrees. It puts out 525 lb.-ft. of torque, and originally could reach 420 mph, but Chrysler dropped it down to 320 mph.

What an incredible bike.

I'd love to just one time That would be all it takes to scare the h#!! out of me

It'l never see actual production...

[jokostel]

sign me up... so i can take a rice rocket on with a mopar rocket.... and eat it alive

[caddmannq]

OK...I'm confused. <---see?

Imagine if you will:

You're sitting at the light...(just pretend it's street legal for a sec.)
...a chick in a Boxter pulls up next to you...
...you smile at her & whip the throttle to get her attention...
...torque reaction of about 600 ft-lbs gets transfered to your arms & right leg, and the whole thing flips upside down, taking you with it.

What am I missing here? Engines that big have motor mounts on both sides, tied to something substantial (like a 3000 lb. car) for a purpose.

[desmocat]

Cadd, that's what I'm sayin!
"Hey baby! VAROOM...flop..."GET THIS THING OFF ME!!"
