looks like fun but the atom is listed as 500 lbs lighter with the same power levels. I prefer the bare bones look of the atom too. Although the areo on this looks pretty good with some functional bits. ---

I’ll wait until I see one driven, especially on top gear. Making a bare bones car is easy. Make one that works as well as the Atom, that’s hard. ---

Naw, well yeah, but I meant the same edgy lines and street fighter style as the Duke. I wonder which would be more fun to flog in a big open parking lot… ---

Geez 1500lbs and 300hp. Not a bad combo.
