So Bad Ass. Hope to catch this on a Power Tour or something.

Looks like the Parking Lot pic was taken at LP Feild.

I think it's odd they used a Precision 6262 when they sell borg warner turbos

The owner could have swapped turbos. But they use a 6262 on their lsj shop car too.

I remember seeing this thing on zzp's dyno a while back. Someone posted a link of him ripping the streets with it a few months ago. Cool ass car.

Wait wait wait...

it only makes 440 whp on 93? Sure it makes 650 whp, but it requires C16 race gas. 440 whp isn't that impressive by itself. A 6758 ZFR can almost make that on 93, and probably has a much more desireable power curve if they intend on using this on a track.

Saw this up at the shop when I was there back in July, his paint changes color with the heat lol. But yea the 440 was a conservative tune just for him to be able to drive it. It wasnt running great when he first got it there on the trailer. Cool guy too.

Sweet car
You know you're doing well for yourself when you have to be careful not to hit your Lamborghini or BMW with your Ariel Atom

It's not zzp's car. Just a lot of their parts and they tuned it. It was built in my garage.

Yep, that's LP. I recognized the location instantly and was hoping it was a local car, but by the tags it looks to be from Memphis. I think this is the same guy who used to have the Civic with the Vette engine in it.


That has got to be an awesome car to drive around on nice days.

shame is those atoms are horrible cars to drive suspension wise, they are flat out terrible track cars. Very difficult to control ; and all that ZZP power it must be a mind altering experience.
