What car is it?
Ok ok I just gotta know what kind of car I saw today. I was heading back today from Okuma when I saw this bright yellow car pass out of the corner of my eye. I've never seen anything like it. I look at the back and noticed the badge(symbol) on it. It was a circle with a lighning bolt going through the midle from top to bottom. The back of the roof seemed to taper off into the middle of the back. This car was sleek A definite eye catcher. But what is it!!?? I also noticed the licence plate as he kept increasing distance. It was a "wah" plate. Which means its a rental. Whoa! I'm gonna have to check out the rental places and see what it is. The thing is though I was in an ED which is basically crap. Plus I had a full car load. There was no way I could catch it. I can't wait to get my baby back

The only make I know of that has the lightning bolt badge is the Opel, which I believe is a subsidiary of GM.

It's a GM/Opel/Vauxhall version of the Lotus Elise. You get the choice of a 200PS 2 Litre Turbo version though.

How fast does it look? Even the NA 140hp models will crack 60mph in the mid 5s. The turbo 197hp version hits 60mph in 4.8 seconds. Seriously, what do you want from it?
