    I think the final product of this V8 Atom will be interesting anyways. I agree with Egg Nog above, trying to put huge crazy power in a car such as this is interesting and the chalenge will be: will the guys be able to make it work, and will the car actually perform well? I hope that the answer is yes, and I wish them good luck in their quest for insane speed.

    This will be one hell of a car when it's done. With the power, small proportions, and lightweight of that engine this will be one of the fastest and best handling Atoms around. That V-8 would be fun to stick in a Caterham CSR as well.

    That's been sort of done before. I remember there was a company that made an SV with a 'Busa V8 + 6spd sequential and slightly modified chassis/bodywork to make it a little wider around.

    Just looked like a yellow 7 SV IIRC. Nothing to special to look at, but to drive, probably ! Though as it was the SV, probably not as good to drive as the CSR.

    That's what I meant.
