Has anyone ever seen a T-Rex?

I have seen two in person and they were parked in a dealership in Houston. They look alright, but it wasn't something I see myself in....

BTW, are you selling your 94 NSX? You just got it not too long ago...the dealership still has the ad running.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just read the other thread you posted regarding the Viper. Good luck with that car :wink:
 
I've seen them only on TV, I'm wondering how the handling is considering two front wheels and 1 rear wheel.

I'm not sure what's gonna happen to the NSX. It's a great car and much nicer than it was when I got it. I would love to keep all 3.......

1.9g's on the skid pad...closest thing to a F-1 car on the road. They are a dream. I've driven and ridden in one (rode in a t3/t4 turbo'd 1200) and it was QUICK.

I saw one at a Ferrari meet, oddly enough. It was in Indianapolis. Very odd car.
 
I saw one after it was in an accident....it was owned by a ruff ryders member.
The insurance company was not happy because there was no way to repair it even thou the damage was lite. No repair shop wanted to touch the thing. I dont what happpend with that one but it looked like scrap metal to me.
 
This looks a lot like the "Atom" as <A HREF="http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46078">reviewed by Top Gear here</A>. The atom looks awesome.


On a lighter side, <B>Dippy</B> was chased down by a T-Rex a couple of nights ago. It was suppressed in the media, but fortunately I got a photo of it here otherwise nobody would ever believe us. :D

I rode in one a couple of months ago. It was a pretty cool experience, but could not justify the cost of a nice 3.2 NSX for one.
I have a friend who got one slightly used - I saw it the week he got it.
The interesting thing is that he is handicapped and is now in the process of outfitting it with hand controls only. He is a really great guy who has done this with several motorcycles with sidecars.

Nope - that was Marc Bolan.

Tommy Bolin was the guitarist for Deep Purple who replaced Ritchie Blackmore. He died in 1976 of "multiple drug intoxication".

I was in college that year and won a call in contest for some concert tickets at an Atlanta radio station. When I gave the radio guy my name he said "hey - aren't you dead?"

So, go bang a gong and try to clear off the smoke on the water...yea, I'm old too...
 
Yea, I've seen a few of them at shows...Actually, I judged a T-Rex at Hot Import Nights, Chicago last year....it was chromed out & had spinners on...I think I gave it 1st place or 2nd, I can't recall...it was between the T-Rex & a Honda w/ custom single swingarm w/ spinners/etc.... :biggrin:


Personally, I haven't seen anyone driving it on the streets of Chicago though....
