Pretty much the same on the track as a road registerd car.

Yes they are blisteringly quick in a straight line but am I the only one who thinks they don't really handle that well?

This reminds me of the end scene of the new Dukes of Hazzard movie...

The new Atoms are meant to handle a lot better but the older ones are meant to be slightly rubbish.
The pics of the KTM thing in Autocar look great I thought

The last one I drove was an '05 S/C Honda one and it was "slightly rubbish" to say the least!

I was on track at the Rock with an early Atom SCed and it was not that fast and he had crashed into Donnie pit wall backwards and needed a new chassi! He had also been through 3 engines

Ihave heard the new ones are a light and day improvement.
Anyway I like Loti too much........
