Yeah, I hear those bastards in the dunes and it’s irritating just driving by. I can’t imagine droning through the dunes like that.

He says it blows through travel in the dunes and could use a stiffer spring rate.

Yep that’s an aftermarket exhaust. My Pro R is way quieter. Are you prepared for the exhaust tone of your new Speed? I wonder if an aftermarket exhaust would make yours sound better?

Heeeeeey, I resemble that remark. TBH I really, really hope it doesn't come to that... but I have my concerns.

Yes I watched the video also. The car looked to handle pretty good. So far everyone I have read about raves about the car in open desert but says it’s lacking in the dunes. I’m thinking it must have to do with the extra weight of the 4 seater vs the shorter Bandit? Maybe the stock clutching just works that much better since the car doesn’t weigh near as much? I wonder how the Diablo will do since it’s in between? Hurry up and drive your car already so we can get some feedback!

I have zero interest in anything Polarass. Plus, the Z1 was likely RG's target initially.

Bastard here, i run the RPM exhaust and damn its loud but i wear earplugs and a helmet. No drone to it, it just sounds badass :bag:
Did you see how much they had to work the steering wheel in that 2nd video. I know they didn't mention it but that feedback looked crazy. I was worried for one of the guys as he had his thumbs wrapped around the steering wheel. Now a good habit if you are working the steering wheel that much.

I’m not exactly out of the glass house, but at least I have a turbo to act as a sorta muffler :biggrin:

I would venture a guess the Speed motor is based of the Z1. I would just be concerned with getting parts for a Z1 as Suzuki stopped making years ago. Those Z1 motors were not great at keeping belts on the cars that ran them and those were light weight compared to a Speed.
Pro R motor has no belt issues, clutching is great, and the amount of reliable hp you can get out of the motor is really good. Motor is already set up of a heavy car. A tune, Bikeman Cam, and exhaust will get you 300hp to the crank.
