Ariel Atom V8 vs. GT3 RS
 
For those of us who are torrent-file challenged.

Wow, that Atom is something. The GT3RS is also cool. I'm curious about what was coming after the two.

I know the Atom is amazing, but I still think that if I could choose, I'd rather have a Lotus/Caterham 7.

Cheebus... Amazing! Unaffordable, but amazing!

I think a 550A Spyder replica (or now a 904 replica) would be just as light, and you can plug in a flat 6 of suitable power to be a match for an original Atom on a twisty course.

That draggy, trellis frame must be the cause of the understeer. I guess even all that wing can't help it.

It looks cool, but sleek bodies are there for a reason- look at F1. The Airel "men in a shed" just got lazy.

According to this: Jeremy Clarkson: The Italian Job HD 720p ~ MyTopGear

It is either the Zonda-R, Lambo Superleggera, or Ferrari 458. I am guessing the Zonda-R, even though he made a reference to it in the Atom part.

Looks like a pretty good DVD. Better than a Top Gear DVD.

Nope, go for an Xbow.

I love the line:

What is the title of this particular program? This was not a Top Gear episode.

An Ariel Atom is my dream car!

It was a DVD.
