saw it in the recent issue of this car mag i get. forgot the name.

looks kinda nice. a cross between a lotus and S2000.

i like the dukes of hazzards style of no doors.



strictly a track car. and is like $70,000

0-60 in 3.8
1/4 mile in 12.2

i think i would pick this thing up before a C6 Z06.

i'd rather have an atom.

it's hot though.

[Edited on September 26, 2007 at 10:50 PM. Reason : hot]

9/26/2007 10:49:49 PM

ahhh tr00 that, the atom is also the hotness

and its half the price. (around $40K right?)

9/26/2007 11:04:15 PM

yup.

9/26/2007 11:21:04 PM

why

9/27/2007 1:57:26 AM

why?

9/27/2007 8:12:29 AM

the ugly part of that thing is the part that doesnt look like an s2000

and thats sad because the s2000 is a 9 year old car design

regardless, i would love to own it

I saw used atoms for 75k on their website so I think they cost sig. more.

damn. $75K.

i could have sworn i saw them for around $40K.

maybe that was in UK lbs. hmmm

I'd prefer a Radical for that dough if we're looking at strictly tracking vehicles.

9/27/2007 12:53:10 PM

i think the 40k versions are the NA ones, no superchargers or upgraded suspensions and brakes

9/27/2007 12:53:27 PM

atom

9/27/2007 12:55:57 PM

Looks really nice although the picture is hard to tell details of the car. That was not a good sentence. I like, although for the price I think I would rather have a Z06 that I could drive to the track. Or the new GTR which is being unveiled in 25 days 9 hours

Um, there is absolutely no comparison to any coupe car.

The only comparison you can make would be to the Caterham 7's, Ariel Atom, or the Tiger B6.

This an open top, full out track car. It's not a daily driver, its got no windshield, and it sure as hell isn't comfortable.

That said, watching it run down the Exige S's and Cup car in the video gave me a chubby. And this thing would SMOKE a Z06 on the track.

9/28/2007 3:52:08 PM

a stock daily driven lotus now is contender for running a z06

9/28/2007 4:43:45 PM

^I think not.

9/28/2007 5:50:10 PM

ok so that was the S model.

karoush come on i knowyou dont think that in real life

9/29/2007 2:34:51 AM

y0, the lotus can run with the big dawgs..
S model or not.

its a good track car.
of course the S model is better.

top gear had the Exige S only 3 seconds behind the Z06 vet.

9/29/2007 10:52:43 AM

depends on the track and the driver,

novice driver in both cars, any lotus will dust a z06.
