Excellent. But rep nazi say no rep for you.
Watched this one in class today. Gotta love old instructors who go off topic easily
i believe those men are nihilist. they believe in nothing.
Sorry I can't rep you but that is insanely funny.
From the Huffington Post
"In a conversation with Talking Points Memo's Christina Bellantoni, Davison explained that YouTube, and perhaps the concept of a video sharing website, seemed foreign to him.
"I went home and had a ham sandwich and went to bed and thought that was the end of it," Davison told TPM. "A friend called, and well, I'm not very good with electronics, is there a YouTube? It was on some kind of electronic server.""

v. funny anti-hipster screed
fvck. that.
**** that.
finally, after 3 years. they should have stuck with RS performance engine instead of two hyabusa engines
You must be thinking of the Radical. Ariel Atom's previous top model had a Honda motor.
That's what I thought, the K20 from the RSX/Civic Si. Although I'm pretty sure they used the K20 from the JDM Integra Type R (RSX for the US); 220hp/152tq/11.5 Compression, 8800 redline
The original top spec was a supercharged Honda K20 - 300hp/163tq. They also make a supercharged GM ecotech 2.0 - 300hp/250tq. Non supercharged options are also available.That's what I thought, the K20 from the RSX/Civic Si.

holy crap. Have you finished it yet?
nope, the original Ariel 500 V8 was suppose to use a super high performance, f1 derived, 2.4L V8 that comes in the Caterham Levante. made by RS Performance.
the opted for their own in-house engine derived from 2 hayabusa engines
and the other Atoms still come with a Chevy or Honda engine.

I can't justify a PS3 and fancy wheel just for GT5 at this point, sadly.

yeah, its the machine's fault 
Whoa now, let's not get head of ourselves now -- Only a PS3 is required.
Yes but for years the top PRODUCTION Ariel Atoms were all Honda and eventually GM. There was also the wrightspeed electric built separately. The V8 was a one-off originally and then development only so until its readily available it doesn't matter what people speculate.
and by people you mean Ariel themselves?
i said nothing of production models in my original post, just that they should have used the originally planned engine for the 500 V8, not their frankenstein motorcycle engine

Are you trying to ruin his weekend or something
Radical which uses a similar V8 setup holds the top two places for Nurburgring lap times so it works just fine...
That's loser talk!
I guess you'd just wind up getting whipped by a bunch of 9 year olds anyway...
Sooner or later the Caparo will put 20 seconds into the Radical
