Naught to 60 in 2 seconds with a stick if you're a quick shifter? How 'bout a paddle shifter option?

Ariel Atom?...hmm...I think I tucked a $5 bill into the waistband of her G string once. She could do this thing on the brass pole that...

Oh wait. Gotta keep it Disney Channel around here...or at least FX anyway.

TEG - if you mean the Atom then yes, they do. There's an American company building them in the States under license. Over here they use the GM turbocharged Ecotec 2.2L Wink

Thanks for the correction ATC Smile I was going off of an older video.

What I'd like to see in it is either a turbine engine like what's in Jay Leno's jet bike or a supercharged Honda S2000 engine. IIRC, some of those souped up Honda engines were hitting 400 horses which would really make the Atom fly Thumb
