After open wheel experience I want a BAC Mono

:D:D
Just had the time of my life driving one of these things. 140 HP 1000 lbs. Not much but wow was I floored by the experience. I will embarrassingly confess I derive most of my "car experience" from Grand Turismo and other simulators :bellyroll: They're what made me love the cars that I later bought in life and loved and appreciated as before I was just looking at numbers and stats. 0-60 I thought was everything in a fun cars. While these simulators did not lead me astray for road cars I've experienced, they sure did on open wheel racers. I did not like open wheel race cars in simulators (not even F1 cars). Go-carts were not fun for me in a simulator. They were more fun in real life but I would choose a regular car over them. But the open wheel racer was a different experience all together. Simulators do not communicate the visceral feeling you get driving these. The noise, the g-force, the vibrations, seeing the wheel hit the curb while cornering. Simulators do not convey any of this well. The whole experience was so visceral, my BRZ felt like a Lexus SUV after that experience. I had to readjust myself to it :lol: Now I'm looking at one of those BAC Monos rather than a Ferrari. What an experience. |
You know there are sub sections for other topics right? Maybe something like "Other Vehicles" may be a better place for this topic? Maybe?
You are "looking at" a toy that costs at least $270,000 and is not street legal? Expensive hobby. |

Id start pricing out my own exo and hang up my "covered fun car" dreams and settle for an old steel car to cruise and exocet to blitz :bonk: |
Can't afford a BAC? Try one of these, an Eliminator, it's street legal and registered as a 1997 Mazda Miata.
140hp / 1700lbs / 5-Speed / No power steering / No ABS After I drove down the street, I texted my friend "First impressions: Got a rock in my shoe. BUT LOVE IT!". Quote:

"The Mono, which will have a starting price of about $270,000 and is not road legal in Canada, can be customized, Pfaff principal Chris Pfaff said in a news release" https://canada.autonews.com/article/...ck-day-special For that matter every thing is 2 years old and it looks like you stil can't even buy them here.. |

Classed as a kit car here and wouldn't last 5 minutes on the street. Trying to say it is a Miata would not work. Pretty much impossible to do any kit cars in Canada now. https://www.tc.gc.ca/en/services/roa...-kits/faq.html |

If it's not street legal in Canada, it's street legal elsewhere. The FT86 is also "arguably" a toy all objects of desire tend to be difficult to obtain else you'd just get them immediately and the lust and desire are gone. Hence why the Ferrari comparison. Also, I post here for the fun of socializing and nothing is taken too seriously. I don't come here for debates. I have other venues for that mental energy. Have a good day. |

And if you don't even want to have to comply with the minimum automobile standards, there are now conversion kits for the Polaris Slingshot to give it four wheels. A local guy here is building kits and registering them as motorcycles. https://dqzrr9k4bjpzk.cloudfront.net.../901529078.jpg |

I then pointed out that the car here (if it ever does for sale at all) is incredibly expensive and would only be good for a track. This makes it a very expensive hobby. That is a fact not an opinion, any form of insult or a statement about your desire of one. You got pissy. Then you asked what wasn't street legal and I responded. You got pissy again. There is no "debate". The Twins are not a "toy" in that they can be used the same as any other car. Even if you strip them down and use them just as a track car making them a toy then you are no where near the $270K price tag which makes them a very cheap hobby in comparison. Socializing does not consist of simply receiving comments that support what you want to hear. Edit: For some reason I thought you were in Canada. I looked back through the 100 or so PMs from you and realized my error. It is indeed street legal in your state but still bloody expensive for a toy. It is fun that you make a thread about praising the back seat in the BRZ and then want a one seat "car" though. |
