“You built a time machine–out of a DeLorean!?”
Now replace “time machine” with “trike” and “DeLorean” with “1969 Camaro,” and you have this bonafide piece of awesomeness.
No AI, no Photoshop here, folks. Best we can tell, this is real: A 1969 Camaro that made sweet loving with a Honda Valkyrie motorcycle.
Why? When discussing one of the world’s greatest …
The big question: could it be used in the 24 hrs of Lemons series? Inquiring minds want to know.
In reply to DavyZ :
Probably not. Most racing organizations seem to have a "4 wheels" rule, because I've wondered if it would be worthwhile to run something like a Polaris Slingshot before.
Three is exactly the wrong number of wheels for a motor vehicle.
that camaro deserved better than that.
Somewhat off topic:
I just don't see three-wheel vehicles succeeding commercially in the US. Aptera keeps trying to give it a go - having yet to deliver a single car - but I just don't see it happening. Proper engineering isn't the issue, it's the perception of "weirdness." I think people care/worry about what their friends will say, and that carries more weight than companies think.

polaris slingshots work because they are motorcycles, none of the safety requirements when its a bike
I understand that. My opinion is that it's not the rules or engineering, but public acceptance that's the issue. To bring this back on-topic, who's willing to step up and buy the three-wheel Camaro? The reasons for not wanting it - I suspect - is the fact that it's a 3-wheeler.

Does a continental kit count as a 4th wheel?
In reply to No Time :
Tyrrell all things!
It's weird enough that LeMons might grant an exception.
Found another Camaro for y’all. Coming up soon. #sorrynotsorry
The answer to a question nobody asked.
Now I want to find a Camaro trike that has the two wheels in the back.

I know (think) you're kidding, but that arrangement is too tipsy for nearly any three-wheel vehicle. It's all about where the CG is.
In reply to kb58 :
So maybe make it a four-wheeled trike?
