I promise you a reach-around tomorrow.

 

Psssh don't kid yourself, I hate you all.

 

excellent, cant wait.

can we invite Bret?

 

Amby just f*cked too much fruit in his time, that's why he is all bitter.

 

You must be an amateur, you can never f*ck too much fruit.

 

i try Amby, i do.......it's just so hard

 

its greatly improve the feeling about speed and turns when you drive an open car. Specially if its low very low seat position. Period.
Now the Atom nothing short of this. So if you do a same exactly a same lap time/+ - 0.5 sec/ with those cars ,the Atom going to give you a much faster feeling.
Just make sure you know it

I think the atom suppose to be much faster, even destroy, any closed, 4 door production car. Based on the tech numbers. But its fail to do so. It is a good toy, but nothing more. Don't mistify it. I know its faster then evo's ,but its not a big deal anyway.

i like away its looks. i'm sure its a chick magnet!

 

LOL at keyboard. and the atom is definetly a bad a** car.. but the evo looked quite sexy going through the turns. especially that last little drift.

 

lmao, they couldnt drive at all

 

Sick video. But a I would have thought that the Atom would have been much faster with all that light wieght? Evo's are still the best.

 

the guy driving bogged the shiznit out of that launch in the EVO, and those huge smokey burning awd drift turns did nothing but slow the damn car down. if he had just turned the car, the EVO would have won.

 

Not sure what they were trying to prove. I could have told them Atom would win. It's not rocket science.

 

x2. Its pretty sweet though an Evo can at least compare to an Atom!

 

I laughed at the end of the Atom run.

When I test drove an EVO before I bought my '03 in '03, I slammed on the brakes so hard the salesmans glasses slid off his nose. Just like in the vid.

It was the funniest thing I had ever seen, I just wanted to know what class leading brakes felt like. The salesman was quiet, and maybe not that happy.

Back to the cars, I love them both, I don't think they are out of place comparing the two. The EVO has kind of established itself as the car to beat, so it shouldn't supprise anyone that occasionally something does come along and beat it.

I agree the driving was more for show, than a real competition, but in general I dont think there would be many contests the atom would lose to the EVO, when properly driven.

But the Atom does give up alot to do so, I would love to have one as a second car, but it could never be a daily driver.

Dr Sound---

the brake upgrade pic, is that caliper on the left, the parking brake? I can't imagine an upgrade would be to hang a second non matching caliper on it and call it done, that would dissapoint me.

 

yea, it is the parking brake.
the upgrade picture just shows the upgraded rotor and caliper. the stock ones are smaller.
they both use separate, smaller e-brake caliper.
