:eek::eek: You got an Atom? I'd never have guessed... :D :cool:

[Harsh]

I have to say, having only ever driven an Atom 2 220 (which was amazing) before, the Atom 3 300 is an incredible car.

power delivery is sublime, you can forget everything else on four wheels.
you press the loud pedal and watch the scenery go all stargate!

I knew the Atom was a good car, but i didnt realised just how good it was until i drove Bruce's last weekend.
it made the last week of waiting almost unbearable, but we were at the factory at 9.45am and i'm only just posting now!

[Ben-san]

She looks a good'un buddy. What a fantastic piece of engineering.

Now you'll be arguing over who has to put up with driving the Ferrari. :D

[Harsh]

actually Ben i've already lost that battle.

i think i might be driving the 360 on sunday :(

[bruce fielding]

Mazeltov!

...and stop offering to let me drive it! I don't want to have to change my car...

[Dan H]

Good work Bachi - I look forward to you taking me for a spin in it :)

[j8mie]

Very nice matey. Look forward to seeing it at a trackday soon :)

[ChrisKiejda]

have you decided on a name yet?? :D

[satchbot]

Very :cool:

[Lower]

Lovely car Bachi. Look forward to seeing you at a trackday soon!

[Dizeee]

Big thanks to Nancy for her passenger ride today, fab weather, fab road and a fab car!Cant fault it at all, espcially love the whine of the supecharger right in your ear!

[Angelis]

Needs a scuderia stripe in my opinion!!!

:cool:

[Butters]

Wowee!!!

I had no idea. :eek:

That is absolutely awesome Bachi, I don't think that you'll see Nancy for tyre smoke now...

Roll on the Summer, you luck things.

James. :cool:

[jumplead]

Looks fantastic, a proper hoot.

Hope the weather stays nice so you can enjoy it.

Join the queue!

[Revs_Addiction]

Fantastic choice Harsh!

Would LOVE one myself!! Is there much more room inside compared to a caterham?

i think i might be driving the 360 on sunday :(

Gotta tell you though mate, the above did make me chuckle!!! ;)

[Harsh]

:D

it was meant to be my car :(

it's now our car, but i'm not sure how long i'll be allowed to drive it.
the more she drives, the more i get relegated :(

admittedly not exactly slumming it though

[bruce fielding]

Fantastic choice Harsh!

Yes there is - especially in the Atom 3. You should have a sit-in...

[Dizeee]

Harsh what would be a rough 1/4 mile time for the Atom 3 and at what speed?

Is it true that a GT2 will hit 100mph on around 7.9 seconds?

Im debating elsewhere and would just like some facts answered, thanks...

[Harsh]

good question...
i'm not sure, but i'll find out!

[Xaero]

Very nice!

[bruce fielding]

Harsh what would be a rough 1/4 mile time for the Atom 3 and at what speed?


Off the top of my head, the best time so far for an Atom 2 300 was 10.74 at Santa Pod. Can't remember the terminal velocity though. To my knowledge, no one has yet dragged a 3. I do, however have a Gtech I could attach to Bachi's car...

[Dizeee]

Thanks, the debate I am having revolves around a bloke who has a stripped Pug 205 producing a non dyno'd 220bhp that he reckons will outperform an Evo FQ300...

Our conversation moved onto quarter mile time, of which he thinks a stock M3 will do in 10 seconds and a GT2 in 7.9. Having a fairly good knowledge of quarter mile times, I think he is way off beam. If 501 supercharged V8's do it in around the 12 mark on a good day, and cerbera's around the same, and also from what I have looked up over my own time perusing, I have seen stock M3's come in around the 12.5 to maybe 13 mark. No idea about the GT2 although I would not have thought less than 10-11.

I wanted to use the Atom as being around the 8-9 second mark to disprove his GT2 theory and generally make him look the tool I think he is!

[Jaik]

I got to passenger in an Atom 2 the other week and considering I was beaming all night afterwards, I can only imagine how much your face must be aching :D

[bruce fielding]

...he thinks a stock M3 will do in 10 seconds and a GT2 in 7.9.

I wouldn't worry or continue the debate. The chap is obviously a ignorant knob of the first order...

[Kelk]

I am so jealous of the Atom Harsh. I really wanted one but with only one garage and the race car in there I was stuck hence the Elise.

[Ben-san]

I wouldn't worry or continue the debate. The chap is obviously a ignorant knob of the first order...

James, in the world of Supras, it takes around 1100HP and a stripdown to 1390kgs (with driver) to get close to a 8.6 second / 159mph quarter mile. Granted, it's heavy. But that's a real world example for comparison if you must.

But even that can't compare to an atom. :D

[Dizeee]

Thanks Ben, his figures are all way out anyway bloke seems not to know an awful lot...

[Ben-san]

Maybe he does this alot:
