I think this is an interesting discussion and can only give my opinion. I considered the atom and the caterham and could afford either. I picked the caterham for its heritage, the usable weather gear and the funky good looks. I initially went shopping for a csr 260 because I believed more should be better, but I stumbled onto a slr with 200 hp and have found that this is plenty. I just drove it from dallas to aspen and back and used the top for some thunderstorms around amarillo and it worked well. I doubt I would have tried something like that in the atom. When I got home I cleaned it up and took off the windscreen and weather gear and its back to SLR configuration. If I had 10 cars I probably would want an atom, but I just think you can get a great driving experience in a more interesting and useful car. Now the lotus 2-11 may be a different story. Cheers, David

Thanks for the thoughts. Unfortunately, it seems to happen with the tank full as well as empty. Our exige develops this issue on left handers with about a quarter tank. I like the swirl tank idea, seems straightforward, although I have to admit I never heard of this before. I purchased the car from a guy in houston. Apparently he rarely drove it. It is the car featured in the LOG 26 program. The car was originally built by Jeff Sloan and company at British Auto in Fort Worth. I love the car, but I have to get this sorted out to be able to really explore the cars limits (high) and my own (not so high). Thanks again for the replies.

First off, Hi: I recently was looking into ordering a CSR and stumbled across a 2005 superlight R with 900 miles that I picked up. The thing has been a blast. In a few months I have put over 3 thousand miles on it and recently drove it from Dallas to Aspen with my wife for LOG 27. It performed great. I have had it on tracks (tws in college station) with big sweeping turns and it performed well without problem. Here is my question - on tighter tracks (msr cresson) it seems to have fuel starvation in tight right or left hand turns. The rpm drop and the car actls like it wants to stall but doesnt and will fire back up with some gas when the car is "flat". This doesn't happen with accelerating in a straight line. Any ideas? I searched and some electrical issues were suggested but it seems to be a more mecahanical problem with fuel pick up. I was wondering if a fuel cell would fix this problem, although I don't want to put in a fuel cell and still have the same issues. thanks in advance David
