Seems like an interesting vehicle. At the risk (guess its obvious now  :hah: ) of sounding like a auto moron, what does the average V8 block weigh these days?

500Hp seems like a lot for a 3.0 liter that is under 200lbs?  :scratchchin:

There's a really good video clip of the previous model from the TV show Top Gear. Search for it on You Tube. The car used to not be available in the US but I guess they found a way around that. The engine and heads are aluminum alloy. It's a Honda i-VTEC with 245 BHP with a supercharged option.

I have a 300hp Atom, and it's really quick...so a 500hp Atom will just be bonkers.  Trust me on that.
