If they're that rare then they must be expensive

The base 2.2L NA GM Ecotec drivetrain with no options is just under 34k - not a total bank breaker. The top end 2.0L SC Ecotec drivetrain is about ten grand more.. and if you really have bucks, the upper end SC Honda VTEC drivetrain is 49.
But you can't really buy an Atom with the stock brakes. You need the Alcon 4-piston race brake package. Oops, another $2700.
And the race suspension/koni package is another $3900.
I wouldn't say 80-90k, but it does add up real fast
