Default Ariel Atom at Infineon Raceway

Sorry its not a P-car, but I thought you might enjoy it anyways. This is the car that made me sell my 996 (I'm sure some will understand, some won't).

What a neat car, but the price tag is unnecessarily high. I could build the exact same machine for $30k verrrry easily. Perhaps even $20k.

In fact, I build a scaled-down version (600cc single-seater) valued at under $10k after labor.


Now, that doesn't mean I don't want one!!!

It was not an easy decision, but I couldn't keep both! I miss the 996 very much, and some day I'll have another P-car for sure. I chose the Atom because I like its track performance and cost vs the 996, and it has not disapointed me.

That looks like a very rapid machine!
