jporter12 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Haven't seen that for a while, so I went to their website www.arielatom.com and now they have a 500 HP V8 version! It's a 2.4l V8, supercharged. THAT would be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Fun maybe, useable? Heck no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Fun maybe, useable? Heck no.Like the gixerkart? That's pretty crazy, too! Someone also put a VF500 motor on a kart, not quite as crazy as the gixxerkart, but I liked, since I own a VF500F! Love the sound of a V engine, too!

jbot Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 i will own one of those one of these days. i'll just wear my leathers and helmet, and just utterly destroy any and all takers on the back roads. i think short of a shifter kart and possibly a caparo T1, there is no competition.

V4junkie Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 ^^^ That episode had me rolling. Trim, mirrors, and doors all over the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbret Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 2 words for you before you get on that pedestal: British Leyland. Clearly you have never driven a Mini, Not a BMW one, a real one. You have a go in a 1275 or 1300i & give a a boot full or right foot you want to own one..... I'm not saying they are the greatest cars at all but as fun factor goes, they rock.Oh and Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Lotus, Land Rover, TVR, Noble, McLaren F1...... oh yeah and the Ariel Atom to name a few good Brit rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 i've wanted to get a "classic" Mini forever (I even owned the BMW made MINI Cooper S). They're sort of hard to find unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
