68 bhp and 1500 lbs + driver. You do the math.

Not too numbers savvy? Here, I'll help you......S L O W.

But it would probably be fun for a couple weeks if not months, but I'd never own one.

It would be way cooler if it had more power, at least 100hp.

Thats what I was about to say, T-rex. And not just rap stars have them. I've seen them at a few bike meets here and there. Unless this raptor you guys speak of is something different?

Raptor is an ATV I think.

I think this thing is pretty cool. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Imagine taking a passenger in one!

This seems a little more versatile than the VW and the T-Rex. Looks like it's fully enclosed, so maybe you could drive it in the cold or mild rain if you wanted to.

edit - that guy is doing some off-roading, so I'm guessing it's weather-proof.

I want to drive one, but I'll keep my bike.

What I really want is the Ariel Atom, a supercharged CTR powered face melting masterpiece.

Seems like it's much more suited to urban commuting than anything.
