I dunno I still like the AM Vanquish, Heavy as hell but can you argue with sporty/aggressive elegance?

heavy cars feel heavy.
that's my argument.

I love that car!

Never seen one in real life though (Where can you order Lotus' -- and which models are legal here?).

**HRD2PLZ** · 09-19-2002, 11:18 PM

I've seen a black Lotus Esprit here a few times before. As for ordering one...I have no clue. No where near being able to afford one right now so I try not to even think about it. Possible Charles English Fine Cars or something

car

**Ekliptix** · 09-19-2002, 11:22 PM

are you thinking of a lotus Esprit?

**[GaGe]** · 09-19-2002, 11:23 PM

I've seen this car in gran turismo a few times. Never seen a real life pic of it though. It looks sweet.

**SHO** · 09-19-2002, 11:28 PM

I may be old fashioned but I still like the 1958 Ferrari 250 SWB California Spyder

Oh yeah only 55 were made.

this is for lotus elise.. OHHHhhhhhhh

**LaughingTiger** · 09-20-2002, 12:42 AM

I still like the Lotus esprit better..

V8 twin Turbo 3.5L

Didn't they down size the engine on the new lotus and

make it extremely light???

**E36M3** · 09-20-2002, 03:06 AM

I've seen a couple Lotus Elise/Exige's in person, most recently at the last E3 conference (someone had one for their booth).

Definately worth killing for as a track car. There is a guy from the British Military in Monterey that has a legally imported one that he drives on the street.. he gets an exemption cause he is training and was allowed to bring over his personal vehicle.

**Voodoo Child** · 09-20-2002, 08:52 AM

Did you guys read that article in SCC months back with they took the elise and put a B18C5 in it! I couldn't believe the numbers that they were producing. 12 second 1/4 miles and other crazy slalom times....what a great article.
How much you figure an elise would cost here in Canada?

VC

**Stratus_Power** · 09-20-2002, 09:20 AM

over 100k

**Voodoo Child** · 09-20-2002, 09:29 AM

GET OUT!
Are you serious about that?
100K+......FARK!

**E36M3** · 09-20-2002, 12:24 PM

You can pick up a new one for about 40k US in the states, so about 60k CDN. A used one will be a bit less, and a VTEC conversion (which is popular for smog reasons) would probably run about 45k US.
