Well one reaosn why would be so that the tires last longer. Running the a032 or ao48 tend to not last very long. However, the ao 32 and ao48 have much more grip than the es100.

They didn't mention it in the magazine.
In GB they give you the option for either a supercharged or NA B18C or a NA or supercharged ecotoc.

Here in the states where they have the atom 2 division you only have the option for a supercharged or NA version of the ecotec which is also in saturns. The US division went away with the gsr engines about 6 months ago.

Also you can build your own atom the way you want it. You can chose many different things including tires and wheels.

My friends dad got the very last gsr powered atom.

1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S, last of the air cooled 911's.

I'd put the 959 up there too if it were street legal.

Also to put things in perspective for you there are about a dozen in a half r34 in america. Now if you think about that then the r34 is almost as rare as a enzo or a veyron.

So yes its pretty unrealistic for us. Now if you managed to get one here you wouldnt even be able to drive it.

wow....knew it was banned but didnt know it was this bad...

I have driven my friends and its worth every single penny.
I'd rock it as a summer DD. I don't usually need to haul around much, except for occasional groceries which can fit in the lovely tiny trunk up front. If you need more space, you could strap an ice chest to the passenger seat.
