damn.. id love to have one.. but not for that price.
13 psi and climbing......
it has 5 engine options 2 eco three honda
other cars, better cars?
Awesome performance but since you can drive that in the wet, I'd ride a motorcyle better for same kind of fun and wayyy cheaper. Although not as fast, rather have the Elise.
If I owned one it would be with a Honda engine with out a doubt.
>>>For Sale? Clicky!<<<

for the price
id go w/ the eco and do some mods

Sweeeet, I remember watching a video segment off of Top Gear on that car. It would be fun to zip around in it.
Have a good one,
Justin

you can drive it in the wet. just wear appropriate rain gear.
EVO drove one from england to the nurburgring and back, through rain, bugs (yes face splattered with bugs wasnt fun).
top gear did another segment on them (i think before the road test) and they drove it around the arctic circle
That's an expensive go-kart.
If I want a bike I'll buy a bike, if I want a car I'll buy a car, if I want to look like I've just stolen an oversized go-kart I'll buy an atom. @!#$ then atom that's what I say. It doesnt impress me. I want a real car something that looks like a car.
You havent driven it so how can it impress you?
other cars, better cars?
I don't like it.

But it is there for people like me that is very interested in it. Something that you want a fast, Fun to Drive on a Nice day vehicle.
Heck I was talking to my dad for a couple of years of building something that housed and Ecotec engine on a Tubular Frame well someone is now building them for sale.
just watch top gear they test it. i does 0-60 faster then a Enzo. price to overall performance it is the best car. 0-60 3.1 someone said i would do some mods to it. you dont need to do anything to it.
the car has 300hp and weighs 1800lbs
0-60 in 2.9 seconds
completely predictable handling due to practically no body weight
zero body roll
exposed cockpit allows you to easily nail apexes everytime
they're overpriced tho... 50k? jeez... a lil on the expensive side I would have been more happy if they were 20k or less
but you still get a LOT for your money i mean the car out handles every car top gear ever tested... the only car that beat it was the ferrari enzo by a slim margin
and the ferrari costs uh quite a bit more
I wish I had one of these things I'd get to work a hell of a lot faster everyday
thats if you get teh highest price model
I wouldn't thats why I would mod it.
and just because something looks mroe fun, doesn't mean it is.

actually its 1150lbs (506kg). i'm sure with 2 normal sized americans sitting in it the weight would increase to 1800lbs
