Thread: Ariel Atom comes to the US

Brammo Motorsports is producing the US Ariel Atom. It looks like they're using Ecotec motors. I'd still like to see a 4G63T in there.

That would be cool, except for the eco-tweek motor has a HUGE factory aftermarket and is lighter as a whole.

has all forged lower end (not like the POS SRT-4's....hehehe)

and adapting the 4g to that transaxle would be fun.

It is a TRACK KILLER, someone post the track time specs, if I remember right it HANDLED a new ZO6 like it was a Neon....hehehe

On the top gear track, the only car that made a faster lap time was the Ferrari Enzo. The Atom is faster than The Carerra GT, the Murcialago(sp?), the Corvette Z06, EVERYTHING that Top Gear had tested (road cars - has to be able to go over a speed bump)

As for adapting... why could you just put a FWD DSM setup in the back of the car... with a hydraulic clutch, and cable shift linkage, I don't see *too* much difficulty in just putting the whole FWD setup in the back of the car.
