As for the Ariel Atom, there is a company in Michigan that builds a similiar machine for $16k for the rolling chasis. You decide on the motor and they will build the car to accept it. Strap a 4 cyl, supercharged motor to that light chassis and you'd have a screamer for less than an Atom. I'd venture a guess you can build an Atom equivalent for less coin and with better numbers/performance. All depends on what you want out of it.
All it takes is some research and you are rolling into your prime season for being able to do research, plus you can get input from the builder as to what they have produced for other clients.
I think it'd be a heck of a cool project and Palmer would be your bestest buddy again. LOL!
Dan...CGT and Zonda are cool, but have you ever thought about several less expensive, but just as interesting cars, that would allow you to have a fleet to choose from? Even something borderline track specific, but barely street legal?
this past weekend: several vipers and a Ford GT, yellow with black stripes. All at the Noblesville square, but not part of C&C. They just happened to drive past.
Spotted in and around my neighborhood in the last 3 weeks. Sorry, no camera.
