Sometimes, it is necessary for all of us to feel the need for speed:
Ariel Atom
Just watch the whole video....
I think one of these things would work quite well in Cloudcroft in the summer:D 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds. I like it!
BMan, can you find me one at auction???

Have you seen the Can-Ams? Similar and for sale here in the US.

Yeah, that looks pretty cool too. I also think a Catterham would be fun, but man that might interfere with my gun money. Clearly unacceptable.
I saw an interesting test the other day of a new car in the same vein as the Ariel... The name is escaping me at the moment. Anyway, this thing was up to around 600bhp with a supercharged V8. The interesting part is that even with less bhp/pound the Ariel is still quicker. Without traction control etc. there is clearly a limit to how much torque you can put to the road.
Aw heck, any of them would be a blast. It is pretty clear to me that I'll never be able to afford an Enzo or a Zonda,:( so I guess I'll have to stick to goofy little British things.
