the ariel atom... 300 hp for 100,000 bucks... it is literally a motorcycle with 4 wheels. I would dare so we wouldn't stand a chance on a track. Straight line... I know I'd own it.

they say that for about 50k you can own one!
on a straight line I know I would smoke him, no doubt about it.
but on turns that car handles like no joke. I was pretty impressed.

All the downside of a bike without any of the fun of a bike. Gimme a Cobra replica any day of the week, at least you got a trunk and some weather protection and a great looking body, not some erector set looking contraption.

I think the rider could have pushed it more in the curves.

I'll have to admit on that one!
He(driver) would of have a little more competiton.
But on the other side He is sort of commercializing the car."so any ******** out there thinks they can spank a bike."

Raced against one @ Hallett Raceway in a stock Z06 Corvette a couple of months ago. He couldn't hang. Video makes it out to be a little faster than it really is. The craftmanship of that thing is incredible though.

It's all hype!!!!
How can you compare anything with only one lap and only with 1 rider and 1 driver? May be the rider sucked, not the bike. How can you tell? The rider could've definitely pushed more.
I've seen a couple of videos with this guy and he definitely has a grudge against bikes and bikers. Don't take this stuff seriously- it's just a stupid TV show.
