There was a handfull of Evos down there, if I were to count maybe about 20. As you can see, lots of bling going on and almost everything was using some type of force induction.

The pic of the Ariel above wan't representing ariel but some other product ( I forgot), However Brammo Motorsports from Oregon was representing the Ariel in another booth.

I am glad you guys are enjoying the pics. We were there from Mon-Thurs and the pics covers about 75% of the show. One of the guys manning the show told us that if we were to do the whole show it would be about 30miles just indoors.

HaHa, that is what one of the Honda Race Engineers said when he saw that. Either way, it is still pretty bad *** for what it is.

i guess it depends on what they are made out of - really ... you dont NEED 16 piston calipers.. haha... 6-8 piston are more than enough for cars with low overall weight...

US Atoms get the GM Ecotec motor that's supercharged.

What's wrong with Honda motors? I think the K20A2 motor found in the Euro Atoms are one of the best N/A motors currently in production. Can't go wrong with 100hp per liter in a N/A factory form.

Remember it's not the motors but the fanboys that give Hondas a bad name.

The gray R34 and MKIV right behind it are local NW cars and both incredibly clean. There were SO many sick cars outside even late at night.

Ariel Comet? You mean Ariel Atom. Just making sure you knew before you did your video review.

did you guys happen to see the new 350Z there? if so what did you think? I was going to wait until they came out, but I ended up buying the evo instead. kinda curious as to how it looked (new engine, new hood, other subtleties)
