The Ariel Atom is a bit on the extreme side if I'm being honest. By that stage I'd personally would rather just get a motorbike. The Ariel Atom sacrifices too much in car practicality for me to be worth it over a motorbike.
I just went ice racing on a frozen lake this past Sunday with my BRZ in weather hovering around -20C (-4F). I think I would've been dead inside an Ariel Atom. With a larger grin on my face no doubt but frozen dead nonetheless.
