Can you buy one and I come and help do fun things with it? If you threw JD's 85mm LS engine in it, this car might actually run a decent time.
PS: Ariel Atom is as much as a Corvette. Atom is a better performing machine hands down. If you are looking for a good all around car, bang for the buck probably goes to the Corvette. If you are looking for a good all around PERFORMING car Atom kills the Corvette.

Ariel Atom
0-60: about 2.5-3.0 seconds
1/4: 11.500 @115
I love how you are posting 10 second time slips as if they are bad. I don't understand your position. I like Corvettes a lot. Stock for stock, Atom offers more performance.

Overall, if I had the $$$$, I'd just take a Caterham 7 and a C6 Corvette for the same cost as either the Atom or the Z06...
it runs 11 something at 115 which means it gets great traction.
the c6 z06 runs 11 somethng at 125 means it can't launch hard and gets shitty traction if it were to use all its power
115 trap is c5 z06 terrority
c6 z06 > atom in any race except autox which is not worth mentioning anyways
its too fast
