    Default One day I would love to own this

    At a recent meet, one of the guys had an Ariel Atom. I had never seen one in person before. Amazing car to say the least. Advan A048 Tires, H&R coilovers, and a full cf shell over the tubular frame. All I had with me was a cell phone to take this pic. I forgot my camera, but I won't next time.

    It was a good turnout. Good to see you there too. I have never seen so many Evos and STIs in one place.

    yeah. it was a nice turn out. i think we had a bigger meet once or twice as Evo SE a while back... i remember we cruised this one curvy road at night one time, like 8-10 evos one behind the other adn all you would see would be flashes from the flames shootin out. lol it was fun. good times.

    Yeah we didn't do much driving that night. It was kinda cold. I can't wait for it to warm up a little. It had to be freezing driving an Atom that night.

    I don't know. I didn't get a look under the "hood". I did peek over into the cockpit and look around though. I didn't know who the owner was since there were so many people there that I didn't know.

    Yeah, I wanted to make it, but haven't gotten back into town yet. Glad to hear it was a good meet! Hopefully I'll be able to make it to the next.

    actually the atom was offered with many different motors, one being a GM ecotech motor which many claimed felt better then the K20.

    The North American (2nd gen) has a supercharged 2.0L Ecotec from the Saturn ION Red Line & Cobalt SS while the Ariel Atom 1 (UK) has the supercharged K20Z from the Civic Type-R...

    NOTE: The North American importer, Brammo Motorsports, did build ten (10) of them in '06-07 with K20a's before switching to the Ecotec.

    I heard that these cars in the states have the same motor that is in the Cobalts. I read about this car not to long ago. The ones that are overseas are the ones with Honda motors in them. Correct me if I am wrong
