The big question: could it be used in the 24 hrs of Lemons series? Inquiring minds want to know.

“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 artistic achievements, you do not question motives. You just bask in the glow–as one does when taking in a creation by Picasso, Michelangelo or that goth kid down the street. (We love the goths.)
Also, the ad says that it’s a 1968 Camaro–well, Camero–but that body crease tells us otherwise. Either way, you need this. Or someone does.

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.
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?
