    400lb/frt spring rate and 300lb/rears? Are you sure those posted rates aren't reversed? That is a lot of car for little money..
    The power of an Atom is a terrible thing to waste! Atom owner/operator since 2007. The more you chase perfection,the faster it becomes. John Force for President! (I asked him once in person...he laughed)

    Would also like to know the spring rates and if they are reversed. Good car for the price, I will let a few folks know it is on the market.

    I read those spring rates on TMI's website, quite a while ago, and called them at that time, asking if the numbers weren't reversed, and they said no. I just now looked, and that is still the way they are listed on TMI's website today. So it has been listed that way for a LONG time, and since I asked them specifically about this and they confirmed it to be correct as printed, and have had plenty of time to change it if it was not correct, perhaps that is the way they are. This particular car, SRA0049 is not here yet for me to see for myself, I bought it based on the series wins and lap records and what TMI told me about how well they have taken care of the car.

    I plan to leave the car there, close to VIR and TMI, for a while, to see if someone in that area wants it, before I pay to have it shipped here to north Texas.

    Thanks for the comment about this being a lot of car for a little money- I agree, and that is why I have it for sale.

    Very fast! Series winner twice! Available right now! Lots of wheels and tires go with it! Priced right!



    If you don't want to let this deal get away, but are not quite ready to handle the full purchase price right now, a deposit will hold it for you, for a reasonable time.

    If you get this car and don't go fast, it won't be the car's fault--

    On track days, this is the view most of the other cars are apt to see.

    Hey Eddie,

    Is it just an illusion or is this set up with a ton of rear toe-in?

    That illusion/visual trickery is called perspective, and is one of the things that cause beginning painters/artists the most trouble. I looked and found this video that helps a bunch to "see" what is going on here. If, in your mind's eye, you put my picture of the Atom, onto the drawing of the road in the video, you will "see" that the rear wheels are parallel to the road, and not excessively toed in.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvWw-SAECvA

    So what you are "seeing" is the result of camera/perspective angle, and not unusual wheel alignment.

    In post #6 above, the front view of the car makes the front wheels look a bit toed OUT, for example.

    Thanks for your question, and giving me a little brain exercise this morning.

    Eddie
