I wouldnt even really consider this thing a "car" its more of a toy than anything, no doors, no windows, no stereo. It's just a big go cart with a powerful 4 banger. I'd be suprised if these things are even street legal in the states?

There are a few cars that are faster like the enzo, mc12 and carerra gt but even those cars are pretty much "track" cars. However you would get way more attention and ----- in these kinds of cars than a ariel atom.

If you really like the ariel atom, you'd probably like the Tiger Z100 they have a few different engine options, 2 GSXR1000's or a pair of ZX12R's. They claim to have the fastest 0-60 PRODUCTION car ever made, with a 2.9sec, even though I really wouldnt consider the thing a car.

I told you in the other thread that it isn't.

This is a track day car/toy. Even if it was in the same class as "cars" it is still slower than a good number of them in top speed and acceleration.

I know that this and many other meet the "markers", plates requirements. I think that they maybe get away with not being crash tested because they are "kit" cars.

Yeah its a supercharged K20. The Civic Type R motor they were talking, if they do talk about it, is the Euro version.
