    I think we can all appreciate this lotus

    Especially in the US.
    Not mine, but the owner has a yellow one as well. I don't know much about the motor except that it is a Honda vtec out of a japanese type R something or other. Really fast, but apparently way too light at high speeds.


    Don't ask me how, but it is street legal.
    Yours truly,

          when i drive this car in GT 5 prologue i notice that its very twitchy and unstable, that just means more driving skills. the new Lotus Elise SC 220 is supercharged and makes over 220 bhp.

                  i have not seen that lotus before...

                  it is amazing how many elise there are in the atl, the body shop that my friend has all his work done at fixes all the ones that get scraped up at the track. I have gotten to see them taken apart etc. they are pretty amazing little cars...

                        Yeah, as previously mentioned, MkI Elise's (or Elisii?) came with the Rover K-series motors, so I wonder if someone swapped in a Honda Type R unit. A friend of ours with an extensive Porsche collection has a MkI Elise apparently, although I've never seen it.

                        That bronzit is beautiful, RK's are the perfect wheel and that MT1 kit is buttah. I can't wait for some euro bumpers to fall from the sky.

                            The bronzit is my best friend Micah's car. he is also my mechanic and all around answer guy when it comes to all problems automotive. As far as the motor in the two loutses go, I know they didn't come stock, I watched Micah install the j-spec motor in the yellow one.
                            Jon, I didn't go to lunch today, it was sometime two weeks ago. If you want to go to lunch, maybe you should pick up a phone.
                            Tony, are the lotuses you see track cars or are they street legal? I understand it was a pita to get these two legal.
                            Yours truly,
