both are just as funny looking....but the atom 500 would eat that thing at the track...under 3 seconds 0-60mph...under 7 seconds 0-100mph...and can pull well over 1.3 g's in a turn

that is one engine option....they have everything from a 240hp k20 to a 300hp k20 to a 2.4liter v8 that makes over 500hp at 10,000 rpm

Some Ariel Atoms come with a Chevy Cobalt SS Engine. I say screw that! Give me my K20!

still wouldnt make the torque the v8 would...besides if you pumped the v8 up you could make more power then the k20 could...but this car is balanced...to much power in a track car is a bad thing mmmkay

when i was drag racing back in 07 had a friend who drove a turbo honda die from a tire blowout at about 160mph...car shook so hard it beat his brain to death....straight line can kill too...
just trying to keep a high hp car on a straight path isnt as easy as you think...
#16
im still wondering where you came up with this from? that was from way off left feild...
#17
eh... i just hate on drag racing and circle racing cause all the guys i grew up with just loved it. i was the only one who kept up with the super lap battles, time attack and auto-x stuff.

im into building and working on cars...doesnt matter what the car does...just looking at the car for what its worth...someone put a lot of time and money into real track cars...doesnt matter what the purpose of the car is i still appreciate it...there is a lot of cars i look at and stand in awe....i spent over 5 years working on my civic si to get it where it is today and have enough money into it that i could have bought a really high end sports car....but what ive learned building that car and all the hours of enjoyment it gave me driving it and working on it is priceless....but i still understand where your coming from...i dont hate any sport you can do with a car....

holy sh*t a v8 engine, in that tiny little car, i dont think im that good of a driver on the track, even a boosted k20 would feel crazy...id be scared if the car's front end started to lift up with that much power, 600 hp on a 1000 lbs frame....that's just nuts
