[Q451990]

Wow... I didn't see a price anywhere. Probably something like Wes's signature line... if you have to ask you can't afford it!

This is the first car I've ever seen sold without an engine and transmission! Must be getting to a level of esoteric that even I can't understand... sort of like high end audio equipment that doesn't come with a power cord, because they know you're going to have a very strong opinion on which $500 option you want anyhow!

One that offers it as an option...

Which if I had 30-40 grand to blow, this is where it would go in a heart beat. 0-60 2.9 secs if you are good enough. If you haven't seen it before, check out the videos on the site. Top Gear and Fifth Gear reviews.

Wow very cool, i love the idea of buying a car that you can put your own motor into... Brilliant, and I bet you could make it outperform many cars in that pricerange.

In carlisle, we had an ariel atom on our track. Pretty cool to see it in action. Our motorsports moderator, Bubba1, who is damn near a professional car driver, took it out on the track. Said it was very different since it was so light in the front you had be on the brakes during a turn to get any sort of traction. Still very cool, and was amazing to see one up close!

Anyway, this car looks like it has the potential to beat many super cars in many ways. May not ahve the NAME of a ferrari but im sure it would cost you less to buy and a HELL of a lot less to own.

For that car, 90 grand with the V6 is not a bad price at all!

I can see that about breaking in the corners. It is basically a mid/rear engine layout. Probably similar handling to a stripped down Elise. Unfortunately, can't say I have driven a real one, but one of my favorites in GT4.

Weird, my friend was telling me about this car. He knows of it because he has a final interview with them to be on a design team.
