I've been interested in doing the Bertil Roos driving school up at Pocono. I'll have to e-mail them and see if they are one of the schools that is considering swapping their F2000 cars for the Atoms. If that's the case, I'm that much more excited for the school!!!

def. an awesome car. if they beef up manufacturing and these get easier to buy,.. id seriously consider it!

I'm relatively sure the Atom will be street legal in 2 states soon. One is Oregon or Washington and the other isn't anywhere near the East coast unfortunately. I would be happy owning this as a trailer queen and hitting the track a few times a month.

hrmm.. i just read in autoweek about a month ago that it is now being built in the US, and street legal.(i think you have to buy it more or less unassembled so it gets registered as a kit car or whatever)

but they didnt mention any state restrictions as i recall. ill try to dig up the article tonight

Ahh yes, the kit car. Brilliant approach to getting these babies out on the road. Hmm gets the gears working

Thanks for the heads up!

Classic Top Gear.

And one fast, sick car.

i love that car

theres a shop in oklahoma that bought one without an engine and built the living piss out of the k20 and it was pushing around 330whp n/a. i believe the guy crashed it at 20mph though within the first couple weeks, causing well over $20k in damage
