Sickest Rides you've ever seen

[hooked_on4]

My plans are getting wild by the hour

Putting a 2200 engine in it, 6 point roll cage from bumper to bumper, 10" Fox Racing shocks up front, 12" Fox Racing shocks in the rear, Custom dash with GPS Navigation.. I'd like to take it to a race in a year or two when I'm done with it.

Very nice, sounds like this thread-worthy
speaking of vw

Those buggies look hella fun.

I want one of these: http://www.buggyworld.net/800ccsandviper.html

(can't post pics since I'm at work)

That LS2 powered one from there is insane

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

They've been doing those for awhile. They have 800-900 HP engines in those things.

this atom must be riced out

500 hp v8

The Ariel Atom 500 gets its name from both a 500-horsepower small V8 from RS Performance, as well as its 500 kilo weight, which helps it to achieve a 1000+ horsepower per ton power-to-weight ratio. The Atom 300 with 300-horsepower can easily manage a sub 3 second blast to 60mph and a sub 7 second blast to 100mph. Ariel hasn't release preliminary times for the Atom 500 but we can only imagine that it'll be much, much faster.

The impressive 10,000 rpm, 2.4-liter V8 in the Atom 500 is sourced from RS Performance and puts out 500 HP mated to a six-speed sequential Sadev gearbox. Other features include Alcon brakes, Dymag magnesium wheels and various carbon fiber aero bits to help differentiate it from 'lesser' Atoms. The Ariel Atom 500 will be produced in very limited numbers when it goes on sale this spring. Get ready for the 'O' face that will be permanently affixed to your face after strolling through your favorite back road in this giant slayer.

Jesus Christ. I'd kill myself with that thing.

 

[31dev31]

Isn't that a Cosworth motor in the Ariel Atom 500? It must pull massive G's under acceleration like a funny car

 

[LowNotSlow]

And I'm not going to thread jack. Here's my contribution.

 

[J-Tizzle]

Another person from the Middle East with way too much money. Covered the Benz with 24c gold. Valued at just over $9 million. Too bad he didn't do the wheels.

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

Sorry to burst you're bubble, but it's not work 9,000,000 dollars. It's worth around 120,000.

 

[J-Tizzle]

Its definitely worth more than 120000. The cars body panels are made from gold not painted gold as per the article the pictures came from. With the price of gold, it puts the price up to the 9 million range.

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

The body panels are not made of gold. It's plated. Don't believe everything you read. Gold is not a good metal to make automotive body panels because of it's weight. A standard gold brick weights 27.4 pounds, or about .698 pounds per cubic inch. 1 brick costs 325,000 dollars. That car is NOT made of gold.
