There was one at the local Motor4Toys show in December. It looks really trick and I'm sure goes like stink, but not terribly attractive IMO.

You know the same is said of a 914 right?

IMO, the Atom is as ugly as sin. That's why I like it.

It needs a body. And a windshield.

I used to drive my old man's Model T all the time. i cannot imagine driving it with no windshield.

The dumbass sold it for less than it cost him to have it done. He gets bored easily.... :-/

PS: Yes, it was as fast as it looks. >:}

While not as fast as an Atom, I hit close to 70mph on my waverunner frequently. There is something great about feeling the breeze at those speeds.

Anything faster and you can wear a helmet.

m21sniper · 03-01-2009, 05:08 PM

I would look pretty stupid driving around in a model T with a helmet on.

LOL.

Agreed. Note presence of windshield and body panels.

Me likey. The color scheme sucks though.

A guy in my office building drives one, nothing like getting on the elevator with a helmet and detachable steering wheel.

I don't like the look of the positive dynamic camber going on on the outside wheels in those photos....

"That thing looks like a jukebox".

m21sniper · 03-02-2009, 06:57 AM

LOL....is that good or bad? Movie line?

TGTIW · 03-02-2009, 07:10 AM

Gumball Rally.

The two guys in the Cobra - That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen, it looks like a jukebox.

Here is the 500 hp version I mentioned above. Pretty sweet.

Ha, Ha, Ha.... I can "just" imagine asking my wife to get into that! Ha, Ha!
There would be no chance.

She's freaked about flying with me already?
Looks like the front tire is larger than the rear tire?
