It's kind of funny how all you Speed UTV dreamers can make fun of all the other SXS's out there that people are driving or at least have parked in their garage when this is all you have !
I don't believe Speed UTV is looking to scam future owners. As LOF mentioned, they have invested around $12M of investor dollars (4,000 deposits x $3,000 each). I can only imagine the actual costs far exceed the $12M, meaning Robby/Todd must have invested personal funds, along with other investors (i.e. Hisun). To walk away from Speed UTV would be catastrophic for all parties. Before a complete walk away happened, I would imagine a transfer of ownership (Hisun buy-out?). Any owner transfer would be bad for the deposit holders.
See above...the Chinese are pillars of quality and the absolute quality of this Chinese made piece of "American" machinery is unquestionable. The sheer skill and craftsmanship of the Chinese "laborers" is leaps and bounds ahead of anything a Japanese, American, Mexican, or any other nationality built machine could ever dream of being. Coming soon to a harbor freight, I mean "UTV" dealer near you.... Also remember if you don't throw down money that you "don't care about" then you are poor. Your Honda is a pile of garbage unworthy of even being mentioned as it was not built by the all mighty Chinese knock off masters.
Haven't you seen their reverse engineered "F150" The Foton Big General? 
Not to be a jerk, but this statement tells me the Speed car is not for you (really want to clarify, not a personal insult). Have you ever dropped $10,000 on shocks? $12,000 on custom built axles? $6,000 on suspension hard parts? As I mentioned briefly above, Polaris/Can Am/Honda/Kawasaki are all "quads" that have been upscaled to be larger and hold more people. The performance of these vehicles is still very much on the "toy" level. My Polaris RZR Turbo S 4 could never hold a candle to my old Wrangler, in any scenario. Yes, that includes running fast through whoop style terrain. Its shocks simply couldn't handle the abuse, nor could the suspension geometry.
You’re correct it isn’t for me. I don’t buy the first if anything. I’ll let others work out the kinks then buy it once it’s been out a few years. With that said the competition has evolved since the speed car was announced. I don’t think the speed car is any match for the new rzr pro r.
This statement is hard to make, either in favor of Polaris or Speed. To much is unknown in regards to Speed and the Polaris. But what do we know?
Robby Gordon is that you lol
I have yet to post in this thread but now I am curious. You have to post a pic of a Wrangler that can run with a modern SxS in the whoops. My old Rhino would smoke both of the Jeeps I own. My Rubicon is built and very capable of going almost anywhere, but it is not going to run near the speed of a SxS through almost any terrain.
Just a guy that is faster than a burning RZR.
I was thinking the same thing.
Nope, sorry. I don't see Robby as an idol either. His racing career is full of controversies and cheating (do your own research). Doesn't mean the man doesn't know a thing or two about off road design though...
Exactly! I have repaired countless Jeeps that had wallowed out mounting holes due to cheap designs/not being double shear. The design of the Speed car is truly a downsized "trophy truck" and not an upsized "ATV". All we can do is hope the paper meets the pavement and this thing rips.I remember 2 years ago when I was as chipper as you about explaining all this stuff.
Talk about how when a bolt gets loose on a Polaris is saws through the tabs because they used improper hardware on the entire car, and speed uses properly shanked hardware throughout with wear sleeves on many critical components..and you can use 2 sizes of wrenches to take all the suspension and steering off the car.
I wanna race you down Barstow main. You in that me in my can am.
I hope so for everyone it meets your expectations no one wants to have money out and wait then ultimately be unhappy with the product. At the end of the day it’s just playful banter I guarantee no matter the make we would all go out and have a great time together.
If I didn't sell it almost two years ago, you would be on. I took this Jeep and my Polaris RZR Turbo S 4 down the exact same trail days apart. The Polaris was being tossed around and couldn't even stay in the whoops. Meanwhile, the Jeep cruised at 70+ MPH as if nothing was happening. That's what almost $10,000 in suspension buys you. That's 1/3rd (or more) the cost of a Can Am. Nothing about that Jeep was stock. The suspension was all one-off custom, not something you can buy from Rough Country.
I’ll get gapped for days with a 10 month old and 2 year old in my car we don’t go much faster than 55 and prob average 45-50mph. Lol
This is true.You could have saved a ton and bought a Talon!
Thinking of what it takes to get a truck/Jeep/SUV or whatever you've got, to make a run through Barstow Main at 70MPH, is a huge undertaking. That isn't happening in a Jeep, even with a custom long arm kit and 1 ton axles. Period. Not saying that particular Jeep isn't a capable off-road rig, but it is NOT a high-dollar luxo prerunner or trophy truck. That's essentially what you would need to do that, and not wad your sled up like a wet noodle. Sorry to be "That guy," but that claim is BS.
I'm not happy unless your frustrated.More fun theories
I think you are getting frustrated by my lack of frustration.
Your right about the fact that Speed is targeting a specific audience ...
Pretty sure he said if he still had it he would race down Barstow main?
In order to have a “stop ride” you have to have a car to “start riding”!
Here we go lol.In order to have a “stop ride” you have to have a car to “start riding”!
Even though brp shipped some cars/seadoos missing parts they were received within 2-3 weeks. And paid dealers for the installs.

They both could do them, but not for long.
Robby should take a picture of all 100 or 50 of his speed cars that now need to be fixed so everyone can see he is not bullshitting cause I bet there isn’t even 20 in a warehouse somewhere.Saying incorrect stuff twice does not make it correct
Hisun has said multiple times they are building the car for Speed to their specs. Their North American Sales President said that.
You know Hisun didn’t make the fuel injectors, right?
