Default My next car, Ariel Atom.

Love this super handling demon! It has a SC Honda motor and goes from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds! Enjoy!

WOW!! What a car! This thing would be like the first time on a Roller Coaster, but better. What fun I bet it is. I wonder how hard it would be to build one. The problem would be getting it licenced unless you buy it from Ariel.

Looks like an adult go cart for BigKids. That thing is awsome in so many ways. Not one thing tame or civilized about it, not even a wind screen. Thanks for sharing the vids.

I had one in my shop a while back and it was definately bare bones, neat and very quick...........but I couldn't get past the HORRIBLE ricer exhaust note from that Honduh engine. I'm sure the V8 version would be just fine though.

It's a 2 seater. We have 2 that participate in our events in the unlimited class. One is supercharged and the other is turbocharged and of course, really fast. Here's a video from one of them, before it was modified.

Real Street Performance is the builder and they are just north of Altamonte Springs FL (North of Orlando) in Longwood FL. They have one heck of a shop and can build about anything you want.
