I have been racing since 1980 and the Slash is just too much fun it brings back memories when the cars were slower and didn't handle like a Ferari.
I would highly recomend the Slash.
I agree completely with this. The Losi is just a slight mod of their race truggy, and so it looks and performs very similar. I'd say if you are considering the DT, just go ahead and get a XXXT and race in the truggie class.
The Slash is really unique - size, appearance, and performance. My personal opinion is that it's the most fun RC that has come out in a LONG time. They wouldn't really be much fun racing in a truggy class, but in a separate class they are a blast! I've entered three spec races so far on three tracks, and everyone has a great time with it.
If you're looking for a basher rather than a racer, I'd also suggest the Slash. It's unbelievably tough. Although if you want a basher you might want to look towards something faster out of the box, like a Rustler or Stampede VXL.
