I hope karma doesn't bite me in the ass for this one, but he said, "OMG IS THAT A NITROUS BOTTLE AT 1:40?!?!!!"

The awesome thing is, I've actually got one, but I only use it for Track Days, just so I can humiliate anyone with a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche or any other super car. They will usually come up to me asking for a race around the track, I have always said "Yes" and I have always won, except for one time where the I destroyed the clutch.

Just waiting for the summer so I can bring him out again.

Makes me sort of skeptical when all of the videos you watch are Minecraft.

I thought the tire of the atom is flat when they were doing the brake contest. then, i noticed it was the brake! because there was smoke in there and I thought the tire is flat.

Power to weight example a high performance rc car can do 0-60mph in 2 seconds but after about 85 the car will pull ahead. Rc or the atom are quick off the line but lack in top speed.

I don't know about you guys but it seems that the LFA stopped a little bit too soon

The point is that most people can not afford a Veyron and don't have the area to use its top speed. The Atom is albeit a practical supercar.

[ReleasePostFuture]

That is not my point. Everyone is comparing it to a Veyron, that it has "twice as much" HP per ton etc.. But at the end, it´s the same (and slower). So WHY do they do that? (About that price - everyone knows why. Veyron is masterpiece, luxury, etc. Atom even doesn´t have doors.)
