The Atom kicks total ass. If you disagree, die. You're wrong.

There is no part of this car that isn't necessary for performance. It doesn't have a body. A roof. Hell, it doesn't even have a windscreen.

It does, however, have a tuned Honda K20C sitting amidships, nice and low for good weight distribution and a low moment of polar inertia. The engine is tuned to produce 220 horsepower- which doesn't seem like much 'till you learn that this car weighs only 456kg. That means it has a better power-to-weight ratio than the Cateram R400.

one of my all time favorite track cars.

Holy shit that looks cool...better than the old-timey Lotus 7

mine too. Imagine this with a really torque engine (i'm talking in relative terms), like a small (3.5L) BMW V8 or the VQ35... it'd be heavier, sure... but wow, talk about acceleration.

haha... I am a big fan of the "7" but only when built by Lotus, Cateram or Westfield. Donkervoort and Birkin make nice ones too

It's alright I guess.

Aren't you excited Dakian that Mr.Boost is here to educate us?! Be a little more positive. He is showing us the light!

Personally I'm thrilled! I am so tired of having to look up how to spell Lamborghini (had to look it up again!) and not being able to tell the difference between a VW Beetle and a Ford F-150. THANK GOD Mr.Boost has finally come to Dieselstation!!

You said it far better than I ever could have.

I understand your sarcasm. Let me explain why this post sounds funny- it was a direct copy of a post i made in another forum with a much larger population, where that was appropriate.

I'm sorry- I didn't mean to insult anyone, I just wanted to share a cool car with anyone who didn't know much about it or had never heard of it. I think it doesn't get enough respect, and I just thought I'd share some facts and multimedia with you.

Frankly, I didn't expect the rude response. I'll make sure and be more humble in the future, asshole.

This car <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Z100WS

Oh and to add. I think that its pretty ignorant of yourself to assume that we dont know about this car. Ever since you've been to this forum you've had this superior attitude about everyone in this forum and in fact I'm sick of it.

give me a f*cking break. I was doing a favor providing good media and specifications on an uncommon car. I already explained why the post sounded the way it did, if I edited out the first paragraph would things change?

I am speaking for myself right now but probibly some people would agree with me. We dont need any "favors". The content is good, but your delievery sucks.

edited and complaints duly noted.

good car if'n you like pebbles for breakfast.

id hit it

Exactly my problem with Mr. Boost; he comese in here just recently and acts all high and mighty. Give it a break.

Uhhh, I think you guys might be over-reacting slightly, I don't think he's on an ego trip...although I'm annoyed by his tendency to make consecutive posts that could be combined into just one very very easily, but nooo he's got to add to the clutter by having his sig and his avatar displayed more times than necessary.

I'm sorry, I have a tendancy to make multiple posts. I'll try to reduce that.

Just because I"m new to this board doesn't mean I'm a newb at car forums.

ok i think we're done giving him a hard time. welcome to DS boost.

thank you Diesel

that car rocks! it looks mad dangerous though...

reminds me of the t-rex

ah, the Campagna T-rex. Cool car, not enough wheels

OMFG INTARWEB DRAMA!!!!

Stop whining you fucking babies

Wow good way to keep up with current events captain genius.

what the sam hell did I do wrong this time? I was just giving my opinion on the campagna... you need to either take less narcotics, or take more narcotics. I'm not sure which yet.

Don't mind cyclone he's just being a dont worry Mr. B00st you havent done anything in awhiles.

thanks
