Anyone who has ever asked me what my dream car is has always gotten the same response... The Ariel Atom... yes I know the car is manufactured in the UK but who could deny having a street legal track car powered by a Honda K20 engine that can go 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds... Anyways for those who weren't aware... yes this is my dream car i will have a mid life crisis with this car and i promise you will want to be around for it because you will definitely want to ride. This car is as bare bones as it gets, meant to weight nothing, handle on a rail, and plant you everytime you tap the throttle. YUM!
