Looks cool... but I'd have to see the engine and price point before I'd say yes.
220hp Audi motor and possible a 300hp SC engine for alot more. Price I believe is 54k for the base
Then I don't think I'll be going for that...
Not until I hit the lottery at any rate. Looks pretty awesome though.
Audi motor? bummer

Turbo'd Eco woulda been much better.
I'm sorry. I don't speak gibberish. Review what you write before you post!

Sorry, bad experiences with Audi motors...and I know I'm not alone.

the atom base model with the n/a eco is like 36k. the gm charger kit is what 2500? u do the math. interior looks a lil better then the atom.

You don't even come CLOSE to smoking a z06 LS7 equipped.
505rwhp > 300whp. Isn't the Vette lighter then your fat VW as well ? Hell, it even gets better mileage !

well congrats on the numbers 300whp is nice on that 1.8T but i dont see you taking out a 500hp vette..
and for the record. i was refering to turbo go fast parts. basic stuff like a timing belt, h20 pump, clutch, etc.
i pulled my friends vr6 golf w/EIP kit on 8psi. when i was on my old setup... there was no way my car could have taken out a z06.... ur talking a very low 12 second car if not high 11s and the new ls7s are dipping into the 10s
with all the good luck with the lsj, i cannot imagine why it wasnt used... maybe to differ from the attom? who wants to spend almost 30k more for the same motor with a different brand car

Smoking a Z06 vette? The vette was parked, don't lie.

and 12.5 isnt close to what a z06 runs dude even if you can POSSIBLY run that fast
here is a pass with my old setup,,,,, my new set up is like a 12.5 setup cause i find it more streetable and still kicks a bunch of ass
on that slip the guy on the lane next to me was a corvette hard top not a zo6 but still
dont know what a zo6 runs but i have taken a couple
PPPSSSS!!!! MMMMMmmmMMM boost=yummy
btw my car weighs like 2100 lbs with me in it with a roll cage do the power to weight
let me post an old dyno too
PPPSSSS!!!! MMMMMmmmMMM boost=yummy
ok heres an old dyno early 06 before i blew up the tranny
and yes the @!#$ up on the engine size they didnt make a 1.0L gti lol
PPPSSSS!!!! MMMMMmmmMMM boost=yummy
400 hp? on stock internals? for $1000 in mods?
however, this is not the point of this thread, don't get it locked people!
Back on subject, the KTM seems to have a more complete body... still, it's not worth the price, IMO. also, the Atom can be purchased as a rolling chassis (I think), so that opens up all sorts of possibilities... it's sold with a Honda K-series (s/c available) in Europe. maybe a rotory engine could be made to fit... or a 4G63t, or an Audi/VW engine, or... well, you get the picture.
I'm going to guess the Vette had trouble hooking up or was dogging it or something because the speeds were way low for a Z06.
Anyhow, -2100 pounds? did you cut the back end of the car off? The Golfs porked out after the MKIII's (I've owned a MKIII and had a MKIV for a little while), I mean, it's about 300 pounds lighter than my Alero (the Golf is 1377 kg = 3035.7654 pounds stock, the Alero is 3350 without me in it, and we won't get into how much it weighs with me in it
). I thought the GTI's only came in 1.8L Turbo (4 valves/cyl) or the VR6?
Unless you gutted the interior completely and shed a good bit of sheet metal (Tail gate, windows, hood, fr 1/4's, and roof), I'm having trouble figuring out how you've got a car that's under 2000 pounds, and one that you can run legally on the street no less with under $1000 in aftermarket parts.
Either way, you may have a hot hatch, but what's the point after doing all that if you can't have another person in the car? You've still got a Golf, and a Golf just isn't a Corvette.
As for the KTM: I'm not feeling the look of the car, I'd go for the Ariel Atom first, but I'd look at the Grinnall Scorpion... Sure, it's a BMW engine, but it's more fun to get up on the rear wheel
Audi Engine not withstanding, it's a little too pricey and a little too open for my empirical tastes.
