The Slingshot looks like an overstyled toy IMO. If I were to consider something like that, I would prefer an Ariel Atom. I saw one yesterday at a local cars and coffee get together and if I were in the market for a sunny day/track toy, that would be my choice.

I can't think of who the demographic is for the Slingshot.

There is a local guy making this type of vehicle using some Boxster parts, including the transmissions, shifters and some odds and ends. One of his latest uses a Chevy LS1 with a Boxster 6 speed transmission. Velocity street rails.
