I've been in an Atom. Not the V8 or even the 300bhp supercharged version. Just the regular 2L version.

And it is TERRIFYINGLY fast. The acceleration is unbelievable. I wasn't driving, but I sat there grinning like an idiot and laughing like a madman the entire time. One of my best experiences ever.

If I ever get suddenly rich, the Atom will be the first thing I buy.

Atoms are insane.

A Corvette Z06 has around 505hp "stock" giving 355 BHP per ton, a 600hp modified would be around 420 BHP per ton.

If that's (and I'm fairly sure it is, by the sound) An Atom V8 500, it's pushing 863 BHP per ton. 20 BHP per ton more than a Hennessey Venom GT. The Bugatti 16.4 GS Vitesse is 594 BHP per ton, and if it's "just" an Atom 300 SC, it'll be grunting out 545 BHP per ton.

So, if it's a V8 like I believe it is, the power to weight ratio is double the 'vette's.

The Atom V8 is easily in the "Superbike" area of performance. Not bad for a car that is completely legal on almost every road on the planet.

It is just silver spray paint, they make themselves shiny and chrome for their enter into Valhalla. It is nothing more than a gesture using silver/chrome spray paint. They warboys worship the V8 and use the term shiny as well as chrome repeatedly throughout the movie to signify something positive. I have watched it literally over 15 times so I sort of know what I am talking about, a little.

See, this is why it needs to be shown the rise in joules, and a total energy rise in the entire planetary system, not just some arbitrary surface temperature rise....because people like you (no insult intended here) genuinely see the small relative figure and think...eh its no big deal.

Its a huge deal.

We are losing gigantic chunks of the otherwise permanent ice shelf in south and north arctic areas.

With those gone, we have otherwise what would have been massive mirrors, which reflect light...now acting as big old heating blankets (the water is effectively a black body to sunlight, absorbs it like no other..).

That right there is called a positive feedback loop. You start with something small, and within no time (geologically speaking), its in runaway growth.

The frozen tundra in greenland is home to enormous pockets of trapped methane....not for much longer. (source: http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v8/n1/abs/ngeo2305.html)

Methane's impact on global warming (i.e. energy RETENTION within our planetary weather system) is 25 times greater than an equivalent amount of C02. (source: http://epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/gases/ch4.html).

Further to this video, when you heat up the ocean systems beyond a certain threshold, the natrual pumping systems which circulate warm surface water to the deeper parts of the ocean for cooling, just flat out stop working. (source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19895974), leading to the slow heat-death of a vast swath of temperatue sensitive biomes....which, when they are active and growing healthily, actually contribute to c02 depletion (carbon based lifeforms 'use up' carbon to be 'made').

...I could go on, but you see....even just a cursory glance at some of the 'smaller' impacts is pretty compelling enough to consider the phrase 'no big deal' a bit of a misnomer.

Do your research....it is catastrophic, and it is likely to happen in your lifetime (if you are under 30 atm).

Your grandchildren and great grandchildren will be living in a drastically different global environment.

No biggie though, cause we got electric cars coming online in the next 30 years or so

I finally saw the movie, and I can't understand why they slapped the Mad Max name on it. I would have been happier if they made it a stand alone movie, maybe even a new series, but it almost seemed to me like they added 'Mad Max' as an after thought just for name brand recognition.
Having the last of the V8 Interceptors in it made no sense at all if you watched the first 3 movies, it was completely destroyed in Road Warrior, as it was in this movie (no spoiler, it's in the trailer) so someone please explain to me, how is the car supposed to be in both movies?
I still liked it.

and a v8

Note that the F1 car here still had a proper V8 engine instead of whatever tree-hugging eco hippy V6 lawnmower engines they have these days

The name of the series those cars race in is "V8 Supercars" - http://www.v8supercars.com.au
