2015 Polaris Slingshot SL LE : A Review Of Dino Melaye's Luxury Car by AutoReportNG: 12:22pm On Feb 15, 2017 |
Whenever you hear the name Dino Melaye, two things come to your mind, the outspoken/controversial man and the man who loves to flaunt his cars on social media. Dino Melaye is a man who loves to enjoy life to the fullest, the Kogi-born Senator who is representing Kogi West in the National Assembly is a man many loved to hate because he is vocal, bold and not willing to succor to pressure. He flaunts his cars and wealth as if no man business. When I received a mail from one of our readers to please do a review on Dino Melaye's cars, I knew I should be ready to dig deep because this man loves exclusive items which are not common to the public. We will be doing the review of one of his latest toy as he calls them in this post. The 2015 Polaris Slingshot SL LE is one wheel away from being a car and it’s missing doors and a roof, but the 2015 Polaris Slingshot still has plenty to be excited about. Polaris just revealed all the details on its new Slingshot, a three-wheeled machine that’s focused on tearing through tracks and canyons. Like the Morgan 3 Wheeler and Compagna T-Rex, the 2015 Slingshot has two wheels up front with a lone wheel out back. A 2.4-liter Ecotec I-4 mounted up front makes 173 hp and 166 lb-ft torque and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission (no automatics here, folks) that sends power to the rear wheel. Polaris doesn’t provide performance estimates, but the Ecotec doesn’t have much to lug around with the Polaris weighing in at just 1725 pounds for the base model and 1743 pounds for the Slingshot XL. Despite its three-wheel layout, the Slingshot should be relatively planted thanks to its wide track of 69.1 inches and super-low ride height of just 5 inches. The front suspension is a double-wishbone set up with coil overs, and steering is electric power-assisted. The Slingshot can also be had with a few niceties, too. A waterproof infotainment system includes navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and a backup camera, while standard storage cubbies located behind the two seats (with three-point seatbelts) add some level of practicality. Other standard items included LED taillights, projector beam headlights, ABS, electronic stability control, and a 2-year warranty. Specifications: DIMENSIONS / CAPACITIES Dry Weight1684 lbs.

Sunymoore: ..................who is handsomely paid for loafing around instead of making laws to better the lots of Kogi people who EMPLOYED him with their votes to the NASS. ![]() During his first years as a state senator, Obama was a co-sponsor of a bill that re-structured the Illinois welfare program into the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. He also helped get various pieces of legislation that established a $100 million Earned Income Tax Credit for working families, increased child care subsidies for low-income families, and required advance notice before mass layoffs and plant closings passed. 1 Like |
