@@CODE-BROWN for the poors. Also, I imagine if you're wanting to wheel swap anyways to something you like (either for style or uniqueness), then you probably want the cheapest wheel option or even an option for no wheels (but it's kind of hard to test drive without wheels). It's kind of like road bicycles, often they have the $hittiest rubber tires and often aluminum wheelsets because they know you're going to put your favorite road course tires and favorite carbon wheelsets on it so no real point giving something expensive that you won't use anyways so they slap something cheap on it for starting with. I do think there should be a stripped down no wheels option, but then we might end up with a no-seats, np wheels, no brakes, no engine option and just be buying a frame (which would be good for some)

He said the car was from Ace Performance. They’re located in Tewksbury, Massachusetts which is north of Boston. There are lots of great roads in New England for driving. I live in northwest Connecticut and it’s the same here: lots of winding hilly or mountain roads, and lots of empty back roads. The only problem is you can’t go very far without running into state or local police, and many of the secondary roads have lots of potholes that are often very deep and wide. You can also forget about spirited driving most of the year because of snow and ice.

Have owned an Atom2 for 12+ years. Tons of fun. Mine is supercharged with "only" 300whp. Nothing keeps up on a track. Nothing. It's easier to get into with a quick release steering wheel hub. No understeer issues with the earlier cars once you put the correct springs and dampers on it. Tires are everything. I run 205s up front and 275s out back,both A7 Hoosiers. Best fun on 4 wheels..!!

I'm just starting to get to grips with mine and it's crazy how different the experience is in different settings. I've been a passenger with a pro on a race circuit and it's savage compared to other supercars. Last week I took it on a drift track with the same pro to practice some car control. Great fun and learnt a lot in under an hour but when he drove it around the drift track it was awesome and terrifying as a drift machine in equal measure. Then drove home at under the speed limit on the motorway and it's very very intimidating due to how exposed you feel. Then finally I took it for a blast on some local country roads on a sunny evening last night with no helmet and no windscreen and it was just fabulous without going over the speed limit (lots of pot holes and still very cautious). Now counting the hours before I can go out again. I can't imagine a better sports/super car.

And the rawness continues with the next step up, the BAC Mono, if the atom hadn’t been insane enough, which this video demonstrates very well, an insane car indeed, with that more than insane turbo behind your seat, and again, another amazing video from tedward!

Tedward, what have you DOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!! Now it's yet ANOTHER car for me to go crazy for, and that I cannot afford! 😞 You just keep making me increase the list, dammit!! 🤣 Also, neat way to censor words with the BOV @ 8:55 😂 And...as impractical as it may be...I'd still wanna daily-drive the sh-**BOV sound** [lol] outta this thing!

@@erikz1337 Wouldn't the wastegate be louder as he goes WOT, as the valve opens to maintain boost at the correct levels? Or could be just the air returning from the intake like a car without BOV does. So much so that it gives a little bit of that 'surge' sound when you let go of the throttle... But I don't know if this engine has the BOV from factory or not. I do know the Mercedes' 2.0L 4-cyl. from the -45 models (A/CLA/GLA) doesn't have it. :O

Amazing “car” (more like a grown man’s absolutely awesome street legal death machine) 👍! As awesome as this review is, I think you should also do a POV of the Slingshot. Why? Because I know that you don’t understand their appeal (as mentioned in the Mercedes “limo” video) and I know that I also don’t understand them, so maybe you and some other people can get to know the Slingshot a little better! Plus you and Topher are one of the best car reviewers here on KZfaq so it’s best if one of you two were to review one, rather than somebody else!!

I remember the debut of Jeremy Clarkson reviewing the original Atom probably close to 20 years ago. That video struck the speed cord in my heart and I’ll never forget it. I’ve had some fast cars since, but discovered that motorcycles ultimately scratched the itch for me. Still, if I ever have the means, an Atom is still on the list! 😆

I always find it funny when car guys experience even remotely decent Power to weight ratios, motorbikes give you that even from rather underwhelming bikes, then again combined with the usual lack of wind protection it really desensitises your feeling of speed, it's a bit of a shame because nothing under 700hp/tonne will ever feel crazy fast to you anymore... That does look like a weapon on track though, but not sure it's "90 grand" good.

@Beau Gus True, but that's mainly because of the different cornering philosophies. You're still looking at 100k+ cars to approach superbike cornering speeds, the difference is that in a car it's very easy to reach the limit of corner speed whereas on a bike it's extremely difficult to be confident in carrying speed through a corner. There is big differences even between WSBK and Super Stock corner speeds, let alone between your average street rider vs a MotoGP rider. In cars, even your average decent driver can extract 90% of a car's potential, same can't be said for bikes. Back to the philosophies, even with knowing all this, you simply gotta use what you have, the worse your power to weight ratio, the more you got to rely on keeping your speed up, therefore high corner speeds, whereas with bikes, since they have extreme power to weight ratios, it's actually faster to stretch every straight section of the track to be as long as possible, by braking very late and very hard, quickly making the turn and then getting on the gas as soon as possible.

it's interesting as someone who got used to bikes before cars (though I haven't ridden a bike in a few years). The 125 I had pulled harder then some of the cars I've driven. That said, yeah, you're *extremely aware* of the pavement on two wheels, and I probably wouldn't go anywhere near a liter-bike's potential even though I feel like I could take one around the block without killing myself.
