I don't get the sense that this is a street car, although they seem to be going out of their way to compare it's performance to other street cars. Yet all of the pix I saw of it were on the track. My 911 has better accelleration than an SD40-2T, whohoo! Never mind the fact that the SD40-2T is a diesel locomotive...

Is it a track car? If so, then let's compare it to other track cars, ie various spec racer cars.

Is it a street car? Then let's compare other street car features other than just 0-60. Ok, the Atom is faster than a 911; I sure as hell wouldn't want to drive to work in one! And good luck with any TUV or USA vechicle certification!

So, it looks like it's a quick, fun little car, but only useful for DE's, or if a spec class was created for it. It's like an oversized shifter kart.
