Still haven't saved enough pennies mind. :(

Personally I think it's going to be like the Caparo, massive power and on paper an absolute animal but think it's going to be a pig at low speed corners and under acceleration etc with it having next to sod all weight it'll be all over the shop. Still...wouldn't mind a go in one!

A guy I know does demo rides in one for experience days. He does not rate them.

Impressive performance but.........................£125k plus vat :eek: For a go-kart, WTF.

bighead 12 September 2010 09:21 PM

reminds me when I went down to their workshop with a friend to test drive their first Atom model (a few years ago before they were well know)....its was in the guys house /workshop with 2 employees, the owner/designer of the car (name escapse me atm) took my friend out for a test drive ....and he came back with a bigest smile on his face( as the road were mostly country B roads).

Forget the Atom at that price and investigate this for all the options.

They had two of those were at Trax Show last weekend, fit n finish (of what little parts there are) didn't look that great tbh.

B roads in an Atom, LOL.

You'll just shake your eyeballs out, I was baulked by one on a club run a few years back.

Dazza got out and said he simply couldn't see clearly due to the bumps... :lol1:

He then pointed out that it was all done in 5th & 6th gear :eek::(

knocked up something similiar in my Design and Technology 'O' level 25 years ago

mine cost nowhere near £125 either

Turbo2 16 September 2010 03:20 PM

Let's not forget that they started out as kit-cars anyway. Just like Ultima and Radical. So yeah, 125K is a little steep. Do you even get air-con?

Not sure if I have this right. as Im not sure if you are referring to the Atom or the V-Storm in this comment,but just thought I would clear this one up there were no V-Storms at the trax show,must have been something else,also as the old addage goes dont knock it until you try it !
I took my prototype wr3 Subaru powered V-Storm over to Mike at Area 52 he arranged a ride and test day for some of his customers it may interest you you all to see what he thought of it,and the other people who got to go in the car.Here is a link to there comments from pistonheads http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...e%20day!&mid=0. Also there is a Subaru car being built at Scoobybits in truro if anyone wants to go and have a look at one of the cars if its local to you. Also my car is at area 52 for the next week or so and can be veiwed there (having a few tweaks). I dont normally get involved in forums I usually leave the discussions alone,but dont want my cars being confused with something else. Im sure you would do the same if it was yours. Remember 740kg with imprezza turbo power = big fun and grin factor ! dont knock it till you try:D it !:thumb: also add 500hp tuned Subaru now your getting silly !
