Wow, a 1.6L engine? That is stronger than the T-rex'es 1164cc engine.

You would think Honda would have come up with something like this before VW did...

Like most modern VW's though, I'm not really feeling the design and shape like the T-Rex.

The T-Rex will smoke that VW it does 0-60 in 4.1 to 5.7 for the VW. Pulls 1.9 Lateral g's.It has better performance than most Exotics. My friend has a copper one and they are an absolute beast. Has the Kawasaki ZZR 1200 motor. Cost of it is around 50,000 cnd 38-40000.00 Us.There is a conversion out for them using the Hyubusa motor. (don't think i spelled that right)

Nothing will match the ezperience of an Ariel Atom 2. Its as fast as a Ferrari Enzo on Top Gear's track. Its about $55,000 at that configuration, but you are getting the performance of a $500,000+ car in something 10 times less and the thrill of a motorcycle with added safety. Its a real performance car. If you want pure performance, then the Atom is the car to get. It makes no comprimises

Wow... I'd like one with a 'Busa motor. There are even turbocharger kits for the Hayabusa motor.

Anyway, I'd seriously like to see a Honda tuned version of this. Get the CBR guys and the S2000 guys in one team to make a wicked looking bike with 3 wheels and awesome power.

Would be fun..but it will not do that.It kicks out sideways though and fishtail like a **** around corners. You can do some pretty impressive burnouts.It just screams shifting at 11000 rpm
