No, $500 for 45 minutes of track is too much, IMO.

dyhppy

it is expensive, but how else can u drive an atom all out? i got no jay leno friends.

Well, it's your money, and if you're so fascinated by it, then go for it.

guys are paying couples hundred bucks just for 20 min on the new Ducati 1098. so I think 495 for 45 min on the atom is worth it. If I considered buying one, I'd definitely give it a shot by renting first.


I don't know about driving it all out though, because I'm sure if you crash it, you buy it.

Shinigami

That's not too much considering the car is something you might never buy simply because it's not a DD, and quite impractical. There won't be many other ways to ever enjoy this car otherwise.

Word of warning though, those who've tried it, have almost all ended up buying one...

I'm going to WC driving this week-end and paying a lot more than that. I know you already did WC driving.

I plan on doing performance driving schools at some time. I'd go for it if I were you.

I don't live near any of those tracks or else I'd probably do it. I'd love to drive an Atom on a track, but would never drive one on the street.

You could prob. get tracktime on a shifter kart for much less, and have an even more visceral experience.

Elistan

I think the point is more to test out the Atom than it is to have a visceral experience, isn't it? After all, Brammo will credit you the cost of the test drive if you decide to actually purchase one. From that perspective, it's perfectly, 100% worth it.

But yeah, if you just want to get some jollies, there are cheaper ways.

Amit

If you have any information or link on it, I'd be very interested. I've always heard great things about shifter cars, but never tried it. It's probably way cheaper to track shifter carts than the S right? Possibly even more fun.
