    Don't know too much about these cars but they look amazing and just wanted to hear if anyone here has owned/driven any of these two cars before?

    Both are awesome cars with a lot of potential to really scare you. Personally, I like the looks of the Atom more.

    A magazine did a comparison and said something like the Atom felt like a vintage race car and the X-Bow felt like a modern race car. The X-Bow was substantially faster around the track but I believe had less hp and was slower in a straight line.

    Not to go off-topic, but just a suggestion you research this one too, the Superlite roadster. RCR has established a good reputation as a high-quality company with awesome and affordable products. The Superlite is just one of their cars.

    A car that I find absolutely stunning is the Tramontana R. Its look are comparable to that of an X-wing (for you scifi nuts out there) cockpit and all the buttons and gizmos associate with it. Though the price is quite steep, I would be more than happy to fork out some $$$ for quality work (I might just stick to Ferrari's for the time being :D)

    I've driven the Atom II before and it was a blast. It didn't have as much acceleration as I thought it would but that was probably because I was at 10,000 elevation. Handling is great and it's really cool to be able to see your front tires - makes it easy to hit apexes. Think large go-kart and you get the idea.

    I've seen the Tramontana. It hits a 9.0 on the weirdness scale!
