It’s got the 2zz in it. I’m thinking of adding more power either with a turbo or supercharger. The k swap would be cool but $$$$

I’d love too man but the price on it is my limfac. I’ve got too many expensive hobbies. Plus they increased the buy in on the track I want to call home |

Its hard for short people to get out of too...Getting in is no problem. Getting out...well you dont look as cool trying to get out as you do driving it. I love the car for its simple design and performance. I'm old enough now I think I will replace it with an Evora or stick to my 911.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Any pics of the cockpit handy? I'll bet it's impressive. I keep forgetting to take inside pix ?? There really isn’t much to it. It’s very tight! The door sils are about 6-7” above the seat. That’s what makes getting in and out a challenge. There is a radio but you can’t hear it over the wind and engine noise??  Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why do all the models start w/ an "E"? A lot of them do. Also a lot of them are 5-letter words, starting with "E". Also a lot of those have the same Vowel-Consonant-Vowel-Consonant-Vowel word construction: Evija Evora Elite Elise Exige Evija Which is interesting because Lotus is also a 5-letter word, with the opposite construction: Consonant-Vowel-Consonant-Vowel-Consonant. Yeah I notice strange things. |

 Sold mine last month after 5 great years of ownership. Great fun, but less practical than a motorcycle. |

The closest I came to owning one, was I had an MR2 Spyder, with a 2ZZ engine swap. I strongly considered getting an Elise during my last car-purchase, although this time I bought a Corvette C7.
The newest Lotus designs look amazing. The Evora looks absolutely incredible in person, pictures are somewhat deceiving. Quoted: I want a C7 Corvette but an Evora can be had for the same price or less. Tempting... What prices were the ones you were looking at? The reason I went with the Corvette was mostly because I was tired of having ZERO trunk space. I don't need much trunk space, but it's nice to have a place to put some scuba gear, or groceries without them going on my passenger's lap. It's also easy to source parts for the Corvette in the US & it's got a great power-to-money ratio. The handling is also fantastic. Which reminds me, I test drove a Camaro just out of curiosity. Holy crap those things handle like a pallet of bricks. |

Wanted one for a long time. Started with a 1985 MR2 then a 2003 MR-S 6 speed SMT. On the MR-S I was too tall to operate the clutch so I opted for the SMT. At this point I think I would have an Exocet set up for me. I like small cars but at 6'3 and a long torso I don't fit worth a damn in them.

Definition of a toy/fun car. Had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of one at Summit Point a few years back, had a smile the whole time.

I think for the reasons listed above the C7 would be the better idea, but I've loved Lotus for years so I really want to own one. Unfortunately with Afghanistan closing down it looks like my income might take a dump unless my company can pick up some new contracts, so a fun car might be off the table for a bit
