with a supercharged civic 1.8 motor, pushing something gay like 240 hp if i can recall; it was 0-60 around 3.5 at most. it is one of the fastest things on four wheels with next to nothing for a motor.
makes me wonder how quick yours is...... what are the details?

Even with a stock, high mileage LS1 with a spark plug wire pulled that thing would still be uber intense...can't imagine what it'd be like with a strong LSX motor in it.

Thanks all..I ordered it July 24 last year...amd recently received it...its a bit nuts to say the least...They are now quoting 0-60 in 2.8 sec.. Not sure whos getting the traction to do it! Its raw..very raw...it does what you tell it...no help..no abs, no tcs, no heat or radio...its just a balst
i will say this, i didnt buy to "not be noticed" but I now imagine what it must be like to be a hot chick on the streets of tijuana. I can never get peace...wherever I go,,if i stay by the car...its a crowd of people and questions..if i walk away (usually do asap)..people get all cose..some even reach under or into it..jiggle things...its nutty. Some peole go overboard and occassionaly I have no choice to leave..or fight!
That aside, the TT TA should be back on the road inside a month! i miss my F-Body...have been driven since before I ordered the Atom.

Jammer,
Are you gonna bring this thing to the lot and more importantly will you be racing? I think you and shawn would be a good race lots of power and lots of weight versus less power and MUCH less weight.

I dindt time it as I was breaking the motor in (less than 250 miles) so i pretty much left it in 4th gear the entire day for the varying rpms, rather than just keep it from 4500-6500k as I would have done if shifting. I'm guessing I was running 105-109s ..really just rolling.
Well... I did film a warm up lap.....just crusining at 50% to warm the tires when i had a little brake bias adjusment gone afoul... see vid....
