Lotus Elise: stripped down to show everything under the skin

the compreshun is too high…durrr… everyone knows you can’t make big power in a domestic without high compressun.

compresion is bad for boost.

It limits the slip of the diff. not the tires.
A tight LSD is good for straight line traction because you don’t have the turning radius to contend with.
Tight turns (autox) may require a little looser LSD.

:tup:

Thanks pops.

this makes me think of a hundred hilarious quotes from the movie dirty work, but i will avoid posting them for fear of getting too off topic…

lotus + that extra 20 g’s to make it faster > *

personally i’d take the elise… fun to have a mid-engine(i know) i mean to each there own but i would rather pull up to an intersection knowing the odds are much less of having the old guy next to me, who’s afraid to go past 30 mph, be in the same car as me.

HOT!

I wouldn’t mind having either of these fine cars. To me the Z06 is the obvious choice. But the Elise is just something that would be so frickin’ cool to own and drive around during the summer. It would be hard to have to pick one. But if I had to, it would be the Z06 for sure. :tup:

Not even a question. I would take the z06 deff.
