As well as I would take the higher HP Atom. I highly doubt the slower atom would “slaughter” the F430 by any means. I believe it has under 200whp, while the 300whp Atom barely did better then the F430 with their own tests.

It’s to my point that Price and Speed aren’t the two greatest qualities to a car.

245hp or 300hp are the options… sub 3 second 0-60, sub 11 second 0-100-0, 1400lbs… I think slaughter is a fair word

edit: I can’t find stats on the older models. Didn’t they compare the performance of these cars to that of an enzo when they first came out?
