Default Snobby british raggin' on the Ram

Check out this video I found on You Tube. If the link doesn't work, then go to "you tube" and search"Ariel Atom VS Dodge Ram".... Enjoy!

The Brits rarely compliement a US made car or truck. I do not have an issue with it. Most like a different kind of car over there, plus it makes for good TV ratings to bash on US cars in England.

Wow those times were close. I would rather have a Subaru wrx Sti than that ugly looking thing anyways, probably faster too. I also have no idea why he stuck that F1 want to be up against a 6000 pound pickup truck. Maybe he should have atleast used a RCSB 2wd with no 20's.

Typical British "tongue-in-cheek" humor.

wtf??? i dont know if thats supposed to be a professional driver, but i could f****** drive it better than that. and itsa PICKUP TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FAST!!!!!!!!! and did anyone notice that he launched the atom hard, but then launched the pickup hard, but let off almost immediately, then slowly got back on it to make it seem slower than it was. id like to aquaint him with what a pickup truck could do with a trailer hitch and some good rope. ill drag his *** all up and down that little race track, then ill park on top of the atom, and then well see how fast it goes. it beat the dodge by what? 20 seconds? and its a ton lighter, and has way more horsepower. nothing to be braggin about if you ask me...

end rant.

you forget the atom was built for race tracks just like that one. The ram they tested was built for muddy back roads.
