$7500 kit + $1350 build + Your Vehicle for turn-key. Still, not terrible.

There are some pics here:

It looks like $7500 is for a build it yourself kit.

Is it this with a body, seat and steering wheel?

Looks like a good deal considering that there are non-side-by-side ATVs at the local Cabelas for $11k+

Yeah it is pretty much a quad. I don't really get how it is better than side by side or a Trophy Kart

you also need a donor ATV so more than the $7500 even if you build it your self. Still cool.

Hmm... definitely interesting... but I would have to wait and see where it falls undeer Rally-cross (and maybe auto-x) rules before seriously thinking about one.

You can buy a real group 2 rally car with a logbook for less than 10k. They even call it a kart in the description which to me still makes it seem like an expensive toy

Looks like an old Honda Odyssey (the ATV, not the van) that's a little less likely to try to kill you. Cool.

Couldn't you do the same thing in a Legends car on knobbies?

The only way this matters is if there is a championship involved that pushes the winner onto Global Rallycross or into a rallycar.

If winning this could get me into the GRC (even for one event!), you bet I am doing this next year!

Aren't ATV's and Side-by-Side street legal in some parts?

Might make a fun hillclimber. Appears to have decent suspension travel. Relatively decent price.

Could be what the circle track folks would want to cross train.
