Interesting article in the Times Motoring section this weekend comparing these three cars and trying to see which was the fastest going from 0-60. They were trying to see if they were anywhere near the manufacturer's claimed timings and to see if anything could beat the fabled McLaren F1s 3.1secs. (Although someone should've told them that the Ultima GTR actually holds the record now! )

Good to see them doing it as scientifically as possible, doing six runs (three in either direction to negate any prevailing wind advantage) and taking an average.

The Atom was looking set to steal the show until it became apparent the factory had fitted it with illegal tyres. Stupid really, as I reckon if they'd fitted it with road legal trackday tyres like Dunlop Formula Rs or Yoko AO48s it probs would've won the test anyway.
