If americans went around and turbocharged everything they would get more hp/litre. Turbocharging is like taking steroids. Personally i like having all my torque at 3200 rpms, instead of waiting till 9000 RPMs for that big as T74 you have on your little 1.8 litre v-tec

Maybe a turbo might decrease the acceleration,while a supercharger is always on point,the turbo takes power especially before it reaches optimum output..Turbos have less power consistancy!.Course superchargers have there negatives too,fuel consumption being a major one!!...I dunno really

I love people who say there's no replacement for displacement. There is, actually, and it's called Engineering. In today's world, brains brawn. Seems like Detroit never understood this.

yup, American manufacturers get about 4HP out of 4897689746L engines.

It would defeat the whole purpose of the vehicle. Light, fast, agile....can't do that with an engine that weighs as much as the car. Can't beat Honda's hp to litre ratio.

i luv hondas, but there's no replacement for displacement, i want to see any other company take Mopar Performance in the 1320, it will jus never happen

not too long ago i was in north bimini and they had an atom 450 in a crate without the engine. i guess somebody had shipped it but didnt pay the taxes or somthing along the lines like that, but it was a waste. before then i have never heard about the ariel atom's. the one i saw was rusting away with the salt air. it just seemed out of place considering they are from britian? is that correct? i really wanted to get farther into it to see why it was there.

I would be very interested to see what that thing would do with a turbo instead of the supercharger. I am more a fan of turbo then supercharger. I find that the turbos hold up better in the higher rev ranges and make more power than the superchargers do. I might try and find where I can buy one and do that :D he he

great video. Just think how much quicker the Atom would be if it had a dual clutch tranny, like in the new Skyline GTR. It would be the quickest production car for a long time. It would probably feel like getting launched off an air craft carrier.

I'm sure this has been covered before. Hondaall. American engines suck. /argument Hondaall.
