I seriously doubt that!!!!

Thanks for the vids, J! Pretty good. I wonder just how fast that Radical really is... It just seems so..underpowered. I know it's not, but it just seems like it is...
S2000 would prolly lap quicker on that track, not that it matters anyway, The S2000 is a better sports car regardless.

A car (Radical) weighing only 500kg doesn't have to have loads of power to be quick

Thanks for the vids jabba, nice quality rips!!! and this was one hell of an 5th Gear episode. They're back on the good track!!

The boxster vs Z4: was surprised to see the Z4 win. So according to Tiff the handling is a bit better, a bit predictable... that's somthing else then they said on another review, where they said the engine of the Z4 was better but the handling of the Boxster superior. And Top Gear, well apart from the lap times you can't really tell much wich was best. That was a cool & funny comparison (from TG) but not very helpfull if you wanted to buy one of those cars. Wish I could

Watched the Atom vs. Radical video just now. Decent workover with each of the cars, plus Vicki's always a positive for any review.

The Atom may have won, but for some reason, I'm rather disinclined to trust a car that seems to be a few metal sheets short of a full enclosure. No bump against the car, but for the money you're paying out, you might as well get close to a proper car....

I know the Radical uses the Hayabusa engine, but what engine is the Atom using, exactly?

Just watched the other vids.

By the way, why do they say suiside doors (of the RX-8)?? What's so dangerous about them?

It was risky because, under the pressure of air, they could open during driving fast.

troskap : the Atom uses an Honda vtec engine ( the Civic or the S2000 engine in fact)
