Would that be a PB car? Very nice. I would trade my Atom toward that!

It's a neat car, but trade an Atom for it... not me. The cost to replace suspension and wings could be brutal. Trust me, you track it enough and wings and suspension bits are disposable items. Hopefully it uses normal brake wear items.
Still, it would indeed be a fun car though for road courses... you'll at least need to find the proper wing package as it comes with stuff for ovals i believe.

The Atom requires periodic replacement of rod ends (all 4 corners)and brakes run $450/set and must be special ordered.I just bought some Pagid black RS4-2-1's to try out.Supposed to have more cold bite than the stock stuff.I'll know next Sat
Wonder if Troy would let me run that champ car at Devens
I was told the Atom would be useless at A/X, and it was, till I put good sticky wide tires on it.
Still useless unless the track temps are above 75 degrees.
It just won't heat tires.
