    Ariel Atom 700

    I spent a day driving the original 2.0 liter turbo version of the Atom at Moroso, now the Palm Beach International Raceway, and it was a real blast. I can only imagine what trying to control this beast, with crotch rocket performance potential, must be like...

    Wanted Ford GT

    Good luck on your search, Dave. Based on my experience you can look forward to some 20 years of good fortune once you acquire one.
