The dealer I went to that sells the T-rex offers them fully loaded and brand new for 50K. They sticker loaded for slightly over 70k. Huge markdown on those. I know there are lots of cars in that price range...

What's the resale on one of these should you get bored of it a year from now?

hard to determine...not many for sale. but I have enough connections in the car community locally to unload it if I wanted. As it stands now I have an offer for several K more than I paid for my ZR1. So i'm really trying to decide what I should do.

You sell the ZR1 now is what you do. You can always buy another one.

My question...that considered a motorcycle (need motorcycle endorsement, required to wear a helmet,etc...)

The T. rex dealer had this hidden in back. Not for sale. It’s the owners vehicle.

Right but most people want to see the car. I’m not a fan of buying sight unseen. Mine is mint.
Then fly out if you have to. Many folks do it. When you can sell yours for profit, you do it IMO. It's not a car you can't replace.

Believe it or not you get a lot for that price. It's on an F1 inspired fully adjustable suspension...0-60 in 3.9 and pulls 1.3g.

https://campagnamotors.com/2018-t-rex/16sp-specs/

You mean, a double wishbone front suspension? If that's the case, your ZR1 also has 'F1 Inspired' suspension. Also, your ZR1 can hit 60 in 3.5 seconds (on paper anyways). Throw some sticky tires on the ZR1 and I bet you can see 1.3g.

If someone is offering you a good price for the ZR1, and you're ready to move one, sell the thing. I'm a firm believer in everything is for sale at the right price. I just don't see the appeal of the t-rex. I think you're better off getting the POS polaris if this is purely a toy. I just don't see the $50k+ for the t-rex.

Someone on this board was building a turbo t-rex. Perhaps you can find them and get some real-life feedback on the things. I'm admittedly biased, because I think 3 wheel anything is dumb.

Maybe not "dumb" but a curious decision.
I just don't see how anyone expects one wheel to do the work of two at that weight.
You can fit two people on a motorcycle (since everything seems to be a two seater) and the power to weight ratio would be better.
Of all of them the Ariel Atom would interest me but, I don't have the "play" money AO does.

I haven’t driven anything that scares me more than that car. Its uncomfortable, loud, and a death trap. One of my customer cars.


Pick your poison.
