220/245 differences?

[andysv]

i am searching for an atom to buy, either 220 or 245, and was wondering if i went for a brand new car is the upgrade worth the cost? has any one driven both to compare? i plan to use initially as a fun road car.

You'll kick yourself if you don't go for the 245bhp, it's £1500 more and well worth it. Also when the time is right you can bolt the supercharger straight on! The difference is the same as adding 60bhp to an Impreza etc. You'll notice it!

Have you done that fast buck? What was involved?

I have a 245 on order - due early september.

and talking of Imprezas, do you wanna buy mine

[fast buck]

Yes, i can buy your impreza, mail me with the details.I bought my Atom already with 300bhp but believe it's not to hard to bolt on the charger at a later date, if you can bare to be with out your new car after all this waiting, that's why i had it in one go, i knew i'd want it done at some time.

sorry John, i steer away from greens but all the best in selling it, it sounds great. p.s if the waiting gets to much and your down this part of the country feel free to mail me and you can go out in mine.

Thanks for the reply. I think it's sold - meeting a guy from Essex half way next Friday!

Thanks for the offer too. That's one of the great things about the Atom 'community', everyone is so helpful.

John Lloyd is at Cadwell today and driving down here to stay overnight with us and off to the track day at Llandow tomorrow.

Would love to see a few pics of your car, particularly the add-ons like supercharger etc.

Pics will be in the gallery soon, it's sort of off the road at the moment having stuff done to it, i.e engine upgrade, carbon fibre panels and new road slicks, Should hopefully look the dogs bo***cks!
I shouldn't say that too loud as one of my dogs were castrated yesterday! ouch!

My 220 is for sale. See the company website for details. You can bolt a charger on the 220 as well, but you end up with a 275 rather than a 300.
