dude... have fun.
i hope you kick that guys ass... but just dont be a whiny honda boy if ya lose... keep it real!!!

[LakeMountLude]

hehe dont worry i do!! i have lost a bunch mainly to bigger engine cars tho.. i usually race em just to see em fly by like corvettes haha they get soooooo offended ...

[flylwsi]

tell me about it!!!
i got on the freeway today behind a vette, and i was workin my ass off to keep kinda close... he just smoothly blew me away... makes me want a turbo ya know?

well... you know how the saying goes... "shoulda had a v8"
well... i would rather have an audi twin turbo six... that would be the shit. those can kill vettes almost stock... hehehe... and the s4 is sucha sleeper... i drove one and they are hella quick. almost too quick. and i have never felt brakes that good... it was like the stop on a rollercoaster... cray z ness...
but that is another car altogether!!!

[LakeMountLude]

i dont know i would like to have that v-6 TT on the supra with a few simple mods .. or hell that twin turbo rotary on the rx-7 with a few mods... they would definately not see that comin ... the only thing even keepin up with that is maybe the Z06 corvette ..

[flylwsi]

actually, the supra is an inline six... the motor is similar to the one in the is300... it actually uses the motor they put in the nonturbo supra... but either way, w/ 320 hp stock, that supra would be crazy... and damn, 700hp is cheaply attainable... too much fun there...

Damn. That is a sweet car. Lotus's are really sweet cars. They are about the closest thing to a street legal go-kart to my knowledge. It would be sweet to drive I'm sure.

I wish they were available in the states.

they go fast since the cars weigh nothing. they are dangerous cars if you get into an accident since mass is one part or momentum. the more momentum someone has the better in a crash with another car. Also gearing in those cars seem lower. my lude maxed out at 148mph and yes I go 130 sometimes with other cars.

[flylwsi]

do ya need to go that fast? those things handle, that is why they are fun.... a mclaren handles, and goes really fast.. i would take that for fast. the lotus for fun corners...

You can buy them "For Racing Use Only." The U.S. Department of Transportation won't allow them on the roads in the U.S. Now, you just have to figure out which race series to dominate in.

[Maverik869]

the only reason that car has quick times is becuase look how much the wieght is...... less weight=less power needed to push the car

you should see the numbers on a Elise with a type R motor in it.
VR6 jetta shouldn't even be able to suck on teh Preludes tail pipe.

check out those freakin stats!!! less hp then a freakin prelude and about the same as a celica and look at the 0-60 times!! oh man!!! and take a look at how sweet she looks.. forget the nsx lotus here i come!!!

whats up man i see your from mt dora, im from up in ocala. i just drove through your spot the other day on the way to titusville and we might actually move around there (mom likes it). anyways just figured i would give you a shout out. if you ever see a 2001 ebp lude in town it might be me. anyways about the lotus, its times are low because its probably and i say probably because i dont know about the car but can assume its rwd, short geared, high rpm and it only ways 1700 lbs thats lighter then a crx all those things combined and its gonna be quik plus the top speed is probably low because of the small gearing and the fact that its a 5 speed, if they tossed ina 6th gear you could probably get it a little faster

[border_project]

wow that looks really nice. however i personally like the nsx a lot better
