God there are some fantastic engineers on this planet.

I don't think you could have more fun without just attaching turn signals to an F1 (or Indy) car.

I'm in...we've got pretty damn decent getaway cars.

 

Most of them are two seaters, we'll need a couple of them.

 

We can make an "Italian Job" style scene out of it.

 

All it takes is one supra.

 

Yeah one supra that will undoubtly cost twice the amount to build as one v8 atom would cost...not to mention still be a land whale LOL

 

My old neighbor built himself a tube frame CanAM style car back in the late 70's. He rebuilds Corvair parts for a living out of his home. Has a pretty nice home shop. He used a turbo Corvair motor and tranny and used aluminum sheet for the body. Car weighed maybe 13-1400 lbs with 250hp. Nice locost with real downforce and great power to weight ratio for the day. He's only put a few hundred miles on it in 30 years.

 

Worst. Video. Ever.

That Atom is sweet though, how much hp with the non-supercharged V8 in the US? I'm sure it'll still be crazy, but that sucks that we don't get the supercharger. The wings make that thing look very aggressive, I love it.

 

I dont think a F1 car would be fun on the streets at all. I dont except they make much downforce at 55. Wouldnt be suprize if you had to crawl through turns to keep it from sliding. After a few insane burnouts, you'd be poor from buying new tires.

 

Probably not, but whatever.

 

ha! ( i fail again at posting youtube links)

 

to hell with it.
