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  |

Thanks for the correction ATC 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  |
