just ran a lotus elise
on the way back from crusing i saw this guy with a brandspankin new lotus elise. that bitch was bad and i told my friend to ask him if he wanted to run the guy said yes. so we went on ih-10 and started from 45 second gear pull. 3 honks and wear off slam 3rd gear pulling him and then slam 4th but i messed it and went down to second. i put it in forth and keep going for a lil bit when i'm about to pull him he let's off. oh well maybe next time i would of had him if i didn't miss that gear.

the British auto market is so much ahead of us that the only american car sold there is the Ford Focus. Every other car we produce year after year simply does not meet thier level of performance. the Ford is just dirt cheapa and sold with a 1.5 liter engine. Even the STI, EVO and GT-R which are Japan's most sought after cars fall short in comparrison to the common weekend-worrior car in Europe. and by the way Lambo is now owned by VW so its no longer Itallian, its a German car now. Whats the best sports car available in the U.S.? a Viper? no a Ford GT40. whats the best Japan has to offer? a GT-R ? Both those cars would get killed by a Maserati MC12, Ferrari F60 Enzo, Ariel Atom, Porsche Carerra GT, Ascari KZ1, Mercedes McLaren SLR, and on and on. I understand if you dont like em cause I personally hate Ferrari and I think the Enzo is fugly but hey, I'm a car guy and I cant deny its eats everything out there.

well yes in Europe but i was reffering to England in particular. I was under the impression that only the Focus got imported for England.
I'm not sure though if its still true cause I heard that over a year ago. The Ford Fiesta and Mondeo are not american cars though. they may be american companies but its not built in the U.S. therefore they are not imported. Just like the mitsubishi Eclipse is not a Japanese car, its 100% built in the U.S. therefore its a domestic but from a foreign company. thanks for the heads up though mate

Re: just ran a lotus elise
lambo's used to be owned by chrysler believe it or not, but they sold the company in the late 90s I believe...
as for those cars, yea performance wise they're freaking awesome, but I must say that reliability wise I'm not so sure... I was researching into an 87' porsche 944 turbo b/c I loved the way they looked, they got decent gas mileage, handled extremely well, and were cheap to own... oh and did I mention good power??? ... well long story short, the timing belt and various other things needed to be changed at 45K miles, not 60K but 45K, and if it wasn't changed, the car'll run into an ass load of problems... than again that could just be one bad apple, but either way I say that european cars perform really well.

Re: just ran a lotus elise
My guess is that they don't really have to be that reliable because they aren't driven as much as the american cars. But they still go fast and hold a ton of records. Just something to think about.
