Better 0-60 and handling then anything the united states and most of the planet has ever produced, and its street leagal, AND you can import one for around the same price as a Skyline, possibly less. It's deffinately on my list of "Middle age things to buy." Whats nice about this car is, oddly enough, it's honda power plant. With no dealer support in this country, its nice to have a fairly common plant behind you. Whats also nice is the aftermarket, refer to the 800fwhp civic. IMAGINE how sick this car can be made!! Beating a bike around a road course is realy no big deal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 "The Atom is a rush to drive at even 80 km/h, let alone at the track where the Atom can be configured to pull almost 2g in cornering." HOLY MOTHER FUCKIN SHIT 2G's!!!! "Pricing estimates for road cars include estimates of certification, compliance, registration and an Open Wheeler Imports logistics fee of $2900 (rising to $3400 for vehicles ordered from 1 July 2005). " 0-100 in 4.5s .... thats amazing. I require one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I'd say it cost about 36 million dollars to import one, especially if they had to drive it underwater to get it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably break it down and air ship it for under 5 grand. If you ship it here separate from its motor, then install the motor in your garage, you can liscense it as a kit, much looser guidlines.

If you hit the lottery (or just have some cash down the road) and want to go for a replica, skip the Factory Five and get a Superformance or something else much nicer (and more expensive). The finish of the Superformance up close is 10 times better than the Factory Five. You'll pay for it though. Superformance with single lug conversion=sexy as fuck. A photographer that was spending a lot of time up at the keyhole at Mid Ohio for the ALMS race had a hard top one. graemlins/leghump.gif Real one= graemlins/eek2.gif Better hit a big lottery if you want one of those! I really want an M Coupe as a track car one of these days. I might just skip that and save up the money for one the Atom 2’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Top Gear: "Prices start at just under £20,000", that $35,000. I'll learn right hand drive, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
