BIG TURBO Polaris Slingshot Is the Ultimate Tuner Troll (Big Turbo Slingshot)

The Polaris Slingshot is no doubt one of the strangest vehicles on the road today. In stock form it promises a raw and visceral experience that is similar to a motorcycle - in fact that's what they are classified as in the DMV. However it never seem to catch on with enthusiasts due to it's numb factory engine and of course the three wheeled setup. Thankfully ZZPerformance took it upon themselves to turbocharge the factory Ecotec engine while also giving it a glorious four wheel conversion. It uses a Camaro limited slip differential, driveshaft, and ZZP's very own turbo kit - making this Slingshot a 500HP MONSTER with almost no weight to carry around. So let's see if ZZP fixed EVERYTHING I hated about the Polaris Slingshot.

Thank you for this demonstration of the capabilities of a finely tuned Polaris Slingshot. My answer to your question is, "Yes, this gives me a totally new take on the Slingshot." The stability of four wheels added to the enormous increase in power puts this concept into serious high performance territory. Threewheelers are great, but they place the third wheel right on the most slippery part of the road. Fourwheelers solve that problem and add a lot of comfort, security and performance. I can envision myself actually undertaking long distance drives - even crossing continents. A new perspective, indeed.

Polaris tech here, at the last dealership I worked at we had a customer that had a turbo kit on their 2016 slingshot. I don’t know the horsepower numbers, but I know it pushed 23 pounds of boost with only 3 wheels. Lemme tell ya, it was pretty sketchy. Especially with a bald tire in the rain 😅 I couldn’t imagine how crazy the 4 wheel conversion is. Also Polaris only had a manual option in the 2015-2019 models. They currently still have them in the newer models. The automatics “auto drive” was introduced in 2020. The manual is definitely better than the auto drive system in my opinion. Great video! I had a smile watching the entire thing.

Amazing budget beefcake manual swap for JZ or LS crowd and cheaper than going T56/R154/CD009. The guys at Fabbot made 880whp in a LS Colorado before the AR5 broke, quite strong.

I rented a manual one a while back and wouldn't have used "boring" to describe it. I would break the rear loose on every street corner and it sounded a bit like a vintage british car and getting you up to illegal speed pretty easily (and I'm a motorcycle guy). With that said, the rear angle view of the Slingshot makes it hard to look at. Adding a wheel was definitely a great idea, and more power, well you can never really go wrong with that, unless the added weight ruins its balance. I'm sure Polaris would sell a lot more if they had 4 wheels.

@kyledewey3657 Жыл бұрын

Classification follows the VIN. The only people that can change it are the original manufacturer or a judge on the federal level. Which isn’t going to happen. It will always be classified as a motorcycle or autocycle depending on the state you live in regardless if you have 3 or 30 wheels. The DMV doesn’t give a shit and even if they did it wouldn’t matter because they do not posses the power to do anything about it at their level. You cannot be cited, ticketed, or have your title taken from you by anyone at the DMV, SOS, or any officer on a state level in any state. There is also a video that Billy Gentry (a police officer) did on this subject which you can find here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erGFjMugqLLUh3k.html
