Guest RHDSupra203 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 It's not meant to be a proper race car, more a track-day car. I think it's about 730kg so similar to an S1 elise, which is not bad considering it's got a Toyota supercharged engine. Portly Yanks have to step over the sides as it has no doors wish i was a skinny englishman... nah i'm just joshing you i enjoy being a yank. the grass is just greener over here.

dangerous brain Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 the grass is just greener over here. I call BS on that unless you paint it because it quite obviously rains more here than it does there. I think it actually rains more here than anywhere else in the world As an aside the yank car market is as difficult to crack as the pop market.

Digsy Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Their engine expertise? What expertise is that exactly, head gasket failure? Cheeky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 It's PROJECT EAGLE...It won't be called Eagle. And yeah I wouldn't dispute their engine expertise as A) you're slagging off Digsy. B) Lotus have a hand in more engines that are on the road than any other company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing is the Japanese are hammering the big three US car makers, all three are on borrowed time with intricate money deals, healthcare and litigation claims not helping their cause. Three will become two very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
