 |  Ariel Atom Has anyone ever seen one of these little suckers up close? I would REALLY like to build something similar, and I think it could be done at a relatively low cost by utilizing quite a few factory parts. 0-60 in under 3 seconds, 0-100-0 in under 11. Just my style, no frills, only what's necessary, and stupid fast. I think I might have to start collecting parts after the buggy is done.

| Ya know, I know it would be much heavier, and an automatic, but the new Chevy Impalas have a tranverse mounted 5.3. Hell, a GTP motor would rip in that car. Certainly not capable of 10,000 RPM, but it would turn 6 pretty easily. You could rig up paddle shifters too. This is killing me. I must build one before I die.
