Such a lame reason for not liking it LOL So forget the cost... Now do you like it???


I fucking love it!! I saw a picture of another one somewhere, and cant think where could be the same one.. But all I saw was the VAG Engine in the rear, not actual car shots

I can imagine them being silly amounts of fun, with the right driver

If so, then you'll sell the Sierra.

Outside of a supercar or a mad engined Caterham type car, I can't think of anything that's quicker round track.

Needless to say, it's going to be very fast and very cool.

A supercar?? like what rich?

When Seans fits his new 300bhp Engine in his Exige it with make an Enzo look very very silly..

It will be faster than ANY Caterham as well.....

and Rich I would only sell the Sierra if I needed to Finacially needed to. I quite like the old thing and its nice to have as many different toys to drive as possible I think.

Been LOVING tracking the Skyline this year so far... REALLY REALLY loving it... it mades Dangerous Escort look pretty silly at Combe

You're probably right about the supercar thing actually.

Look forward to seeing it!

Ive no firsthand experience, but based on fooedback from a guy I know who had one, an atom wont touch an exige in the corners.

That may just be a matter of setup though, but I must admit my personal view is the atom is something of a gimmick really, the exige is a really serious bit of kit though, far more than people realise a lot of the time i reckon

I see, I was under the impression the Atom was the better handling car. Again, not from firsthand experience just from what i've heard. I'm interested to hear if porkie or anyone he knows has experience of both.

The Exige will have PROPER downforce though, where the Atom has none.
