I googled poop in Utah streets it was the 1st video that came up and people talked about poop in streets? So actual poop in streets is what your grasping.

Just the “arguing to argue” that seems to be frowned upon 🤣. Take that attitude to the other Speed thread.

We don’t need to debate to poop in the streets and 3rd world conditions.. Cali is king. You know it, I know it.

But since you brought up shitty situations - Notice there was police and actual citizens in that clip instead of homeless advocates and enablers. Also note that drug addicted vagrants were called out for what they are. That piece would have never been aired in CA.

So in the Take 3 side show they are arguing about the review 🤣.

Car seems to deliver the goods promised overall. Best driving/handling car on the market so goes the review. That is what the early adopters were hoping for. Car looks to handle the terrain very well. The low CG and geometry seems to be the game changer that was promised.

There are still a few fit and finish items to work out or tune up as of car 18.

The only one that really has my attention is the bit of remaining steering feedback. Speed says they are working to solve that in final production.

Ergonomically the 4wd lever position looks to be annoying as it may hit your knee. That will likely fall to the aftermarket to resolve with a modified lever for 4wd.

Most everything else sounds like minor hiccups in fit and finish that can be tuned out pretty easy.

Seems that things are coming along much to the chagrin of the detractors.

Excitement is building :)

Badass good for them. I like bustin your balls here and there. Glad to see people getting cars. Have you been down recently? How many does Robbie expect to have in customer hands by next season?

Yep been there a couple times lately. There will be hundreds out by next season. They are telling many of us June/July in the first 500 4 seaters. That might mean July August or even August September 🤣.

When they start coming there will be a steady flow of them.

If these Speed cars start hitting the desert , our local dealers might have to discount their RZR’s and Can Ams . I want a Pro R but not what most dealers are asking .

That's what I've been waiting for, or 0% interest like Can Am did in 2020.

The problem is there are too many people that will pay what they are asking now.

“No one will ever get their car” 😂.

It’s almost as if the place is not open every day to the public and you can’t walk right in and see what is going on.

This thread nothing but “Click Bait”. Sit back and enjoy it a few minutes everyday. :)
RG & RD thrive on it,as they should. :)

You know that vehicle was tethered Robbie’s extraction helicopter, right? If you I look closely you can see it at the 10 second mark…….
















Hahhahahah. Looked impressive for sure. The wife was watching over my shoulder and commented there is no way that she would do that run. I guess I will have to pick her up on the way back.

All I said was your good at PR

By the way I never said no one will ever get their car.

I'm sure I said no one will get a car by date "xxx". Which I believe I was right 😁🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 plus or minus a few

There are plenty of nice spots for the girls to enjoy a few cocktails up there while we go on a run :)

You also said the car would be outdated and the prices would go down 😉.

Someone has to provide some accurate info. There sure isn’t much in the other thread 🤣

I have your beers on ice.

For a car that was outdated before it even came out, it’s pretty cool that he’s going through the rough stuff as fast as his race car in a stock Speed car.

Doesn’t look like a “game changer” compared to a 2 seater from 5yrs ago.

I gotta ask.
The front wheels have some side to side wobble in slow motion. Maybe all utvs do it?

It’s the tire moving mostly. There is always some slop in the system and that is also what you see. All cars have this even trophy trucks. Most of the movement in slow mo is the tire

Not to make excuses for the Speed car, But it’s right off the showroom floor -only thing done was set the ride height According to the video.
Doesn’t even have the upgraded springs on it yet.
He did say his speed over that section was 40-42 and that was what his Race car would do


The Speed car looked like it could be improved some more - seemed to have a controlled rear end Buck a little

Considering this guy had a Turbo S race car and said his Speed is at least as good as that out of the box with 0 mods, and had claimed in initial impressions it’s the best handling car on the market today..

You are probably right 😂.

They all do it.. tire and steering deflection. Based on the geometry of the car, the Speed should give you (the driver) the least feedback.
