    Pistonheads would be a good start and also Ariel themselves or specific forums

    Nice. Difficult to filter when you're out on a sunday blast though, but at least you can carry your shopping on the passenger seat :D

    So true. I used to play about in modified lotus Elise's until I passed my bike test. I soon found at that £2k of bike had more appeal on a sunny Sunday than £20k of car. Needless to say, the redundant car soon got moved on in favour of a bigger better blade.

    that's one this that gets me with my kit car. unable to filter even in a quick car when out for a run in Wales. I can overtake 3-5 cars at a time but if they bunch up it's a pain and many of the roads I use on both the bike and car don't have many straights to overtake lots of traffic in the car. but the bike it's simple to pass a few and move into a little space ready for the another pass

    These things are mental...it's one of the only road cars that has really made me work in a straight line on a Blade, on the RR6 not much in it up to 120, then the bike got its second wind, no idea what model he was driving, but motorcycle performance on 4 wheels, luckily we were on a private runway whilst researching this.

    even the 245BHp non supercharged are quick as crap. the 310BHP Supercharged spec is mental. Anything with more is just madness.

    At 550KG approx the 3.5 ed Atom is going 0-60 in 2.5 ish seconds so quicker than most of us can dream from a standing start

    Many years ago Tiger racing (the make of my kit car) made a 4WD kit car and the results are as follows


    This was around 2000 so the Atom has surpassed the speed from the Z100
