Ariel Atom vs Mitsubishi Evo

[DjayJohn]

driver mod..horrible driver..ebrake was needed for the Uturn..not overpowering it.lost 1 second right there

[MrShadowhearth]

how can i look 20% more intelegent.... i know i will have a laptop near me!

[xiingli]

I'm just gonna sit here in my chair and laugh.

[TheDragsterd]

That pansy in the Atom was fucking Scared

[bamuchem]

its time for u to admit u dont know how to drive

[cagednm69]

you cant compare an Atom with an Evo. Is the Atom even classified as a "CAR"? Its more of a Formula 2 race car!

[shobin05]

@cagednm69 lmao, if the atom isnt classified as a car, then what is it classified as? what do you call it? a spaceship?

[amirbooboo]

ben collins ?

[ralph435z]

the stig?



[benladinsuxxs]

This has to be the worst Slalom in the known universe.

[benladinsuxxs]

some say he only knows two facts about ducks and they're both wrong. 

[jeremy1000100]

Why does the driver wear a race suit and helmet but the passenger just jeans etc and sunglasses?

[Solar424]

Ben Collins WAS the original white Stig.

[javigonzalez325]

muy beno gays jeje

[zapatos123123]

Goddamn, why don't we go as far away from the cones as we can

[Nopiw]

both drivers are shit

[casaroble54]

wheres the stig when you need him ha

[420hih]

2:16 did he get lost

[screwloose455]

Chill out with the faggy drift shit and see what happens.

[fefinus]

stig

[jduchiha]

@fefinus sacked stig

[Voldness]

Agreed, nothing can beat the Atom, not yet.

[420hih]

@Voldness Bugatti Veryon

[TheWolfram23]

The Atom could have done it so much faster, he was wayyy out of the best line

[eminsevada001515]

ben collins is the stig, for real

[DobeDobyDo]

The driving in this is embarrassing.

[mikefkingstrutter]

went way wide on the retern cone in the atom,should of span the wheels up,would of got the time down by at lest anouther second

[svtxchinoy]

Lolz, Stig moonlighting back then.

[XXdriver2000XX]

Got to say, the driving in the EVO was much better, the atom could have posted a much better time

[GraveUypo]

@3:27 that's awesome.

[mattadam12]

i honestly think Ben Collins fucked up driving the evo....idon't rlythink he's a great driver either if i'm honest

[DiamondStarMotor]

first off, they keep downgrading the evo, these assholes dont know their shit! they keep comparing the two, saying, a supercar, super motor vs. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"i dont know what" like the evos just a grocerie getter. the atom is powered by the evos arch nemisis, honda civics b-18 inline four. essentialy, the atom is nothing but a rice burner with out a body, not a super car. but i digress..........i still want one!

[BlueAvenue22]

@DiamondStarMotor This comment is filled with so much bullshit it's not even funny. how the hell does having a supercharged engine that screams to 8000 rpms while making 300bhp through the rear wheels equate a rice burner? or having a car that ridiculously light and spartan that it makes over 600hp/ton? It also doesn't have all the driver aids the evo does that sort out all the hard bits for the driver.

atom > evo in performance. its that simple.

[maximocremoso]

@DiamondStarMotor grocerie getter? u have never driven an evo...

[ugp4130]

4WD with understeer verse the RR?

[zabijaq123]

Only one run with mistake on U turn in Atom made Atom going wide on way back and cost atleast 1 second.

[DilanTheDragracer]

Evo hit a cone at 0:21

[vix121]

The passenger seat in the Atom isn't for your girlfriend, it's for your swollen member!

[UKevolutionUK]

@wolf1010 They mean £33,000 as in united kingdom pounds (£). Not 33,000ibs, good its so embarrassing explaining to the residents in america the going ons outside their borders.

[FHCTech]

@UKevolutionUK

I believe you misspelled "god" there....so don't be so quick to judge others of their "ignorance"

[Warblade118]

Evo totally demolishes a cone at 0.21

[eemarko]

Tears the asphalt up

[mitsuevo8mr]

i take the evo anyday, i dont want to crash and get wet when it rain.. i will look at the guy in the aton with his girlfriend and just lol when it's rainning

[acidwarlord]

@mitsuevo8mr Atom is faster than rain ;D

But i think the Atom is a really good choice as second car just for fun ;D

[apeson89]

@acidwarlord

definately....:D

[stupidrenner]

@mitsuevo8mr Too bad the guy in the ariel checked the weather forecast before taking it out?

[Cur734]

@mitsuevo8mr He has the girl moron.

[phillintheuk1]

@mitsuevo8mr

Thats no problem to us ex bikers and when it's not raining you can look at the finger coming up at you from the car in front of you !!!

[jordancowan95]

@mitsuevo8mr you won't be able to see the atom it will be going so much faster than you lol

[shobin05]

@jordancowan95 hahaa...

[206frankthetank]

Evo Couldnt have been driven faster. Atom needed a handbrake flick at end and would have wone by more than 1 sec. although the handbrake in an atom is awkward to get to, on the right

[MisterPeetBull]

He did a poor job w/ both cars turning around at the end, handbrake would have lined the car up nicely for the return and he wouldn't have been going to wide.

poor show

[luckeycat]

just a little much traction in the atom, lol

[mrdarkknight]

STIG!

[EVERLIVERPOOL]

@mrdarkknight not anymore son.

[mrdarkknight]

@EVERLIVERPOOL well......-.- he was still a stig

[djrno2]

What a fukin idiots they comparing a 4 door sallon versus baby formula, well i have to say if they would compare Fq360 or 400 evo defently kick atom's ass

[Blueball0120]

@djrno2 Your an idiot for thinking that. The atom goes 0-60 in under 3 seconds. It easily kills it on the track. You made yourself look like an idiot@

[djrno2]

@Blueball0120

listen you i'm not saying that evo is faster i just think that fq 360 or 400 would beat the atom's ass in slalom but no in a drag race.., but look at this way , 4door sallon car versus lightweight mini formula car and it lost by 0.2 of the sec , now thats is incredible ,

[CemetaryGatesML]

a 4door sedan lost to a semi-street legal Indy car :O

NO WAY!

[QuickQuips]

I think it's the Evo IX, due to the front (the VIII's grille has the middle split up). But I agree with you otherwise cavader.

[cavaderblood]

@specizmodding Haha you have no idea what you're talking about. The 500 hp Atom wasn't even conceived when this video was posted on Youtube (august 15th, 2007), and you can hear the turbo so this is the 300 hp model. This video's generation (generation 8) evo also has 300 hp (more like 290ish), but the evo also has awd. I would take the evo over an atom any day, because, unless there's perfect weather (how often is that?), the evo will take the win. Also, drifting is SO much more fun than speed.

[aaronbobaron]

@cavaderblood They actually say in the video that the Evo is an FQ340, not a regular Evo. So this one actually has 345 crank hp.

[cavaderblood]

@aaronbobaron That's even better then, I missed that. I'd go for an FQ400 if they were available in America. Or I would just take a base evo to AMS... in time!

[felix3322]

THE STIG!

[LFS2008]

lol 2:29

[ezuan88]

starting from 1:53 to 2:00 ... def gonna buy an evo 9

[Nickomfacc]

Love that atom

[lacocaco11]

the mitsubishi is way more fun to look at

[aminevich]

Mr. Collins never did do well as a parking attendant. He always returned the car with bald tires. Good thing he got a job with this show.

[MrSpartan117fan]

LOL XD 2:15 the guys faceeeeee

[xKAOTIXx]

dude why would you compare a hand built supercar like that against a mass produced (and inexpensive!!!) sports sedan? its not fair at all. i'd still rather have the evo tho. better than that brit POS

[benzlover55]

@xKAOTIXx Watch the intro of the vid again, the "brit POS" is cheaper.

[gromit37]

@xKAOTIXx Use the force Luke... or just wach and listen to the video. The Mitsu is MORE expensive. It's a highly tuned, highly strung, rally bred version of a family car that cost a lot to buy and own. If you want fast and boring, by an Evo, if you want fun on every road or track, buy the Atom. Or a Caterham/Lotus/Westfield et al.

[racingchamp101]

v-tec ftw!

[xKAOTIXx]

@racingchamp101 dude vtec is honda. not mitsubishi

[racingchamp101]

@xKAOTIXx iknow that u idiot!!!

[Civic1eater]

im curious why all these people who say the driver skills sucks arent all racing drivers.

[reyquezada]

The driver skills really sucks

[Streetracingpunk72]

@reyquezada That's the Stig! 

[radiodinner]

Ha!! Somebody thought they were being smart. Ben Collins is the stig! That is just too funny.

[Pfitze90]

hahahaha lol

the best drivers come from germany

[almetej29]

20,000 lbs?? no. . . wrong.

[723myself]

haha! the guys face at 2:05

[andreiprimu]

ben collins is the stig:P

[Xolition]

Unreal upkeep? LOL In 50,000 miles I've changed, wait for it, a side marker bulb and the clutch. This is with heavy abuse.

[jlkasde]

@Xolition Ditto here. My Evo's clutch just gave up at 48k miles. I'm surprised the race was this close as I expected the Atom to crush it. However, this was an Evo FQ340. I wonder how the Atom 500 V8 would fare in this test?

[rmherbert1957]

couldn't afford ken block?

[theRDRman]

30000 pounds lol wrong 20000 pounds wrong ahhjahaha lol

[RavenZ27]

Ben Collins needs to take lessons from some professional test drivers...

[afszero]

@RavenZ27 the stig !! hahaha you`re right

cheers

[amoulana11]

ben collins is the real stig its all over the news

[brumster01]

The Stigs busy writing his book so he has left these chimps to try and drive these absolute amazing cars badly,

[black96fire]

The stig! He speaks!

[pimpninja1985]

2:04 The dude in the glasses is like HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

[Aznlotus16]

Lol the driver is the Stig on Top Gear :)

Well... was.

[djrno2]

ben colins was the stig in top gear older seasons ..

[Dc5rTeCpOwEr]

he is the sitg lol, BUT THAT WAS JUST SHITY DRIVING

[mark675]

that guy in the passenger seat scares very easily! lol

[souijiro]

"Where's the stig when you need him?"

ahh the irony.

[MarkieBhoy17]

@souijiro this is not top gear its VROOM VROOM

[dori605]

shity driver

[Djfragas]

@stefanpetrov8

Finally someone isn't talking about Schumacher :D

[Buggerme77]

@stefanpetrov8 absolutely correct and he's more than qualified

[YaayBOOM]

The Stig's CRAAAAAAAZY cousin.

[shizlnit]

Fuck Fifth Gear

FFG

[adcb913]

lol look at his face lol

"o shit were going to die were going to die "

[mungos20]

Ben Collins WAS the stig, so he's skills can acctually match the car's :)

[do0med1981]

Supercharged Atom (300 BHP) had an incredible near ENZO performance in Stig's hands so the fact that it crushed an Evo is no surprise ;)

[swe021]

@do0med1981 crushed the evo? Are you kidding me?

[1961pontiac]

what the fuck are they saying

[kchuk]

i need to change my pants... that lancer run was sick...

[ctskifreaks]

Hahah - Ben Collins is the Stig

[kibareef]

the Stig? on fifth gear?

[urmumsmyutube]

Lol, it amuses me how Ben Collins actually is the Stig :D

[BaxterTM]

HA it was the stig driving, the stig is ben collins if you didnt know.

[MrDean1978]

Just goes to show how good evo's are.

[ksmay71]

Re: @gary65432: hahaha didn't you hear? Ben Collins IS the Stig!



[shauntanweibin]

ben collins is the stig !!

[MrB14ser]

hahah horrible driving. cant get any worse than that.

[DannySotoA]

how the fuck can you compare an atom to a lancer!? like a F1 vs a touring car

compare it to a zonda at least, and also you have to learn to slalom

[kchuk]

@DannySotoA rwd vs awd...

the lancer should be quicker...

[DannySotoA]

@kchuk WTF? the atom has double horsepower per ton, in a normal track the atom would be so much ahead

[kchuk]

@DannySotoA horsepower is nothing when you cant put it on the road. the evo has a much easier time doing that.

[DannySotoA]

@kchuk LOL did you see the whole video, do you even know which car won?

this happens for not watching top gear, watch some top gear lap times see the atoms time and the rest of the cars, then talk

[kchuk]

@DannySotoA wow, youre not the only person who watches top gear.

what im trying to say is that the atom only handles well because of its low weight.

Its 1/3 the weight of an evo but only beats it here by .6 seconds...

thats LAME!!!

[mageac]

@kchuk in a run like this awd is damm near everything... the atom was fighing for rear traction the whole run back

any car can beat something else given the right track, on a longer higher speed track the atom would destroy the evo, on a rally, or very tight track the evo would win, and if its wet, the evo would have an even bigger advantage...

plus the evo can fit 4, has a truck... and costs less

[kchuk]

@mageac trust me im not an evo fanboy. its just that oogly eyed teenagers tend to overstate the abilities of cars. I understand that this track favors the evo. I was just trying to prove that having lower weight and a bigger hp number doesnt make a car better.

[CiderCanRaver]

top gear ftw

[oldnewone]

watch top gear with ariel atom.

[thichduthu124]

look his face at 2:42 so funny

[DuckXT]

@SenoreQueso Pounds Sterling (££££) Not pounds (lb lb lb lb).....

[LiamusShakirus]

@SenoreQueso pounds... as in british money.?

[mencucikebakar]

STIIIIII...GG....!! Where are you??!

[crashmasher]

that's just the cause of a horrible driver and has nothing to do with the cars at all

[Atheismrulez]

Absolutely terrible driving.

[sf200425997]

It doesn't seem like the driver's skills match those of the cars..

[david1991rules4life]

@sf200425997 i was about to say, they SUCK!

[Streetracingpunk72]

@sf200425997 You realize that Ben Collins in the Stig right? It's kind of funny you'd say he's not that good and then he comes out publicly as the Stig. That's great.

[sf200425997]

@Streetracingpunk72 yeah I do, but these corners were a tad bit too wide ;)

[Streetracingpunk72]

@sf200425997 That's true, I'll give you that one. In all fairness though, the cones were pretty tightly spaced. I honestly don't think I could do much better. He swung them pretty wide for the Atom, too. I guess they under steer pretty bad though, which is funny because you'd expect a car with that power to weight to be slip sliding and over steering everywhere. I guess their suspension can't quite handle the power. He's definitely improved in driving as the Stig though.

[sf200425997]

@Streetracingpunk72 I probably wouldn't be any better either :) Anyway, I'd love to drive that thing around the track, or even better - in Tuscany.. I could knock all the cones down, it would still make my day :)

Take care mate!

[stiffman320]

thumbs up for muse!

[solidus32]
