Talking Just for fun

Gang!

Here's something to get the creative juices flowing...when one wins the lottery...or just has more 'play' money, than they know how to use.

http://www.arielatom.com/ariel/site.php

It wouldn't look pretty on the road [even if it were legal (???)]...but I bet this sucker would FLY....woohoo!!!

If you click on the Build, Price & Order 'tag', then it will take you to a registration page...to get a password so you can enter that part of their site.

One of the powerplant options is:

Honda VTEC 2.0 Liter 300hp 163ft/lbs Supercharged

I bet that puppy would throw you back in the seat !!!

Atoms are road legal. I would take the tracked out version... 0-60 is 2.9 sec with the 300hp version.




Here is a Jeremy's take on it.....

It is my goal to get one of these, or something like it within the next few years. All I added onto mine was the big fat engine and a windshield. The only reason for the windshield is so my passengers wouldnt get hit in the face with road debris. I bet the windshield is like 2 inches high. My total was under 53k.

If you have a broadband connection, then you have to watch the Top Gear video, that Mulder's post has.

You just KNOW that you have to obtain one....after you view that video. I can't even imagine how much of a BLAST that would be, to experience !
