Thread: Took the atom to the road course yesterday

i took the atom over to MSR Houston yesterday. Car ran well. Ran the toyo R888's About 6 seconds/lap slower than the radical but ran mostly 1:44-1:45's.

Now it needs some more power :-)

Awesome! Must have been fun.

Does your ATOM have the supercharged motor ?
Have you ever drove your Atom on the street ?

Yes, it does have the supercharged motor. I drive it on the street all the time. It seems to be a very well sorted street car that you can cheaply take to the track.

I have the TVR Harrop s/c on it's way. hoping for another 50-60 hp at the wheel with sc/intercooler/injector tune

Hay Ben;

How hard does the ATOM launch if you are really trying to take off form a stop real fast ?
I have seen videos where they claim that it will accelerate from a dead stop to 60 mph in 2.95 seconds ?
Does that sound correct to you ?

Factory claims 60 in 2.8 With R888's yes it will hit 60 in that time frame

Damn, that's hauling ass. Any videos of said track day? Or any videos at all? lol

Your ATOM has got to be a blast to drive.
So many unsuspecting people !!!!

I love it.

What an awesome car! How's it been reliability and ownership $$$ wise? Any issues? I wouldn't think there is too much on it that can go wrong?

well yeah the twin 15inch subs and Alpine dvd are a pain in the ass when raining...
