Have you thought about getting a car like the Atom in addition to the F40?

 

I think an Exige would be a little more to my liking (with an extra 50-75 hp in mods). The Atom is no doubt a fantastic set up though.

 

I saw a brand new 430 Challenge at the dealer this weekend. This is a pure race car that apparently was just released.

 

The Atom seems WAY too hardcore for any kind of street-driving. Watching the side of Jeremy Clarkson's face getting sucked back towards that huge intake was a bit intense in the Top Gear video.

My father owns an Elise (the Exige is actually slower, though with exponentially more down-force) and although when I drive it I cant help but smile, I cant stop myself from believing the car is kind of an inconvenience for short trips or errands. (as its just a bit too small for me at 6') Not even for DD duty, but for anything short of a drive where I am taking back roads and wringing the car out, I would rather grab the keys to something else.

I get the feeling that while a hardcore track monster, the 360CS is still able to be used to run down the street and back without too much hassle.

 

For Sale or on Display?

 

Sold, I was told it was being prepped for delivery to a customer.

 

Was that the one at the DC Auto Show?

 

I don't know, it was gone last night. But, there was a Red 430 Spider F1 on the floor -magnificent car. It was also sold, actually, the dealer was made aware on Friday that it couldn't sell the car to its intended customer, it was offered to me ($300,000) and was sold by Saturday am.
