Hell for that price i could buy a 70 Chevelle and build it the way i want. Yes the T-Rex is nice but if i was going to buy a cage i would buy a powerful cage.

Man I am Jealous

I would love to have the opportunity to drive a T-Rex. They are in a class of their own and are AWESOME!

I fell in love with them the first time one blew by me at over 100MPH on I-40 a couple of years.

They are pricey for sure but an exceptionally well engineered machine way ahead of their time.

Must have been an awesome experience. I'd love to take one out on the track. I've been looking at them for a while, but ultimately I'd have to save a bit more for the Ariel Atom.

Saw them at the show Saturday but the literature said you could only ride with one of their peeps driving.

Had I known the real deal I would have been all over it. Good for you though.

I had read on their website that you had to ride with one of their peeps as well. I decided to give it a shot, so I walked up and asked if I could drive one. She said that I just had to go inside talk to the VP or Pres. of the company and get qualified, etc. They originally said they were full for the day but I kept shooting the chit with the VP about them, and he said, what the hell, how about 4p today. Def not an everyday experience for me. If you like motors pushing anything with wheels and can 'drive', its the biggest thrill ever.
