get a clue dude, we aren't talking about a 150whp motor, hes talking about a built turbo motor makes 400whp big difference. its much harder on a little boosted motor making 400hp than it would a big na motor...
you better start saving, i could actually buy a new vette you couldn't buy one atom
you guys ------- realize that the USDM version of the Ariel aton comes with a Supercharged ECOTEC... rated at 300bhp.. that motor has proven over 1400hp....reliably can do 400whp easily, rods and pistons and a fatty turbo and your set...go ahead and try to prove me wrong

unless all you ***** are going to inport the sweet Euro version or build your own, you won't see a k20 in the atom here in the states

I realize, I was just arguing for the sake of arguing. Have known it for years after looking them up out of curiosity on the price. It's not the only 4 banger you can push to those numbers, but it wont be street driven that high. k can do 400 reliably as well, but like jd said it'd be best to upgrade valvetrain. I've seen quite a few posted on other forums over 500-600whp on completely stock blocks though...

I would be purchasing the Ariel without the motor...and build my own.

I really hope Johnny goes and puts the deposit down on the Corvette...gives me an excuse for the wife.

I really hope he does too, I want to see the race. However, I'm not very hopeful...

I just want to see you actually do something, instead of always talking...thats worth the $70k, I think many would agree.

I dont want to smoke every Corvette, just the one with you behind the wheel sweet cheeks.
