It was a blown 2ZZE, it weighed more than the Elise it was in the comparison.

Now, I just think the the MRS is way over rated

No Elise + Kseries ftw, shit load of a better car. MRS + Kseries, not so much

Interesting poinions in this thread…I’ll give mine:

I like the MRS…not nearly as much as a gen. 1 or 2 MR2, but it’s still got some selling points.

The K20 is simply magnificent. The 2ZZ…is pretty decent.

The Elise/Exige SHOULD have come with a K20…in a perfect world…but for it to get the 2ZZ is still awesome.

That being said, I agree, Lotus + K20 = Phenomenal.

Not my cup of tea, but yeah that’s cool that they put a good Honda motor in a car that didn’t come with one? :shrug:

you drive a k-car, any opinion on the looks of a car made by you is null and void.
