What I want for Xmas in my DREAMS.
This car is quite possibly one of the coolest things i have ever known to exist. And only from 30 to 45 grand!!!!! Yes, It may be powered by a supercharged honda civic, but it only weighs about 500 kilos, delivering 300 hp from the engine, but 600 to the ton, better than the enzo! If you haven't seen this on top gear, watch the video, and watch the 5th gear video as well. and if you haven't heard of the Ariel Atom, this car is the SAIX.
http://www.arielatom.com/ariel/site.php
enjoy, and try not to drool on your keyboard.

Atom scorched to 100mph in 6.86 seconds and then stopped from 100mph in 3.8 seconds.
2.91 second average making it the world's fastest accelerating production car available today.
Yes it's official the 2005 quickest car 0 -100 - 0mph is the Ariel Atom in 10.88 seconds.
Supercharged version 
I'm sad though.... I was hoping this would be a link to a neon.... sigh

Ive seen the episode of that car on Top Gear, when the guy was driving the g-forces were litterally pushing against his face!

hehe, liz and i have talked at length about this car. it is so sweet.
sexy little thing with a good amount of power(they can always use more) and the absolute basics needed to drive.
given how much power people have proven can be pulled out of a streetable honda motor i woudl love to see what that thing could do with a serious motor and a turbo

BWAHAHAHAH @ Boon. nice one.
Yes, its ultra sweet. I belive that Top Gear or 5th Gear did a show on this car. MT mag says it costs 50-60k!! Says that you can import them here to the US. But thats even more $$$
It made the top 10 cars that should be sold in America.

Don't worry about the Honduh part, you can also order it with the 2.0L Ecotec
