What I meant was I would prefer 5 lug for wheel choices, changing wheels to something sicker.
Having 4 lugs does not make a difference. These days, wheels that are for 5 lug applicatoins are also available for 4 lug applications. Hell, most wheels started off with 4 lug applications, which become available for 5 lug applications as they progress (vice versa included).

I would rather have it like F1; the less the better because it saves me the hassle LOL.

I'm pretty sure it's 1000/ton. That might be the V8 version, though.

Was on the track with one of those.. the sound alone is incredible, but to see them go around a corner 20mph than I was, was just insane. They can move.. that's for sure.

The V8 is 1000bhp per ton. I believe the Supercharged K20 is around 500-600bhp per ton.

I almost got one 2 years ago. And for the most part i'm glad I didn't.
I went to the factory in Ashland Oregon when Brammo was building it.
Here are a couple of cell phone pics.
This was there demo car that I got to take up into the mountains.

This was facing the other way of their final assembly/delivery area.

I just could not pull the trigger on it. I guess i'm to cheap. The performance is mind blowing, but just my opinion just becase the performance is there it does not justify paying over $60k for a cobalt SS engine (the US atom 2 at that time) and some tubing.

I even did the full day Ariel Atom Experience not to long after that. Had a full 2 hours on the track with one. To try and change my mind.

I do want a car like that but I think I will be going with a little cheaper route.
