Center steering, no windshield, monkey bars, sure looks like a lot of fun! I'm guessing its not street legal, mainly because I haven't seen any in the Microsoft parking lot.


p.s. My names Dan not Alex, sheesh Greg err dad.

Now son.... You know you have to get straight A's.. and have a perfect attendance record... and brush your teeth... and...

Have you brushed them yet this morning?

Best mods would be extra sticky tires and brake pads!

First things first --- I have to figure out what the hell I bought! Drive it on the track --- and then assess it from there.

First thoughts are -- I'd do NOTHING to it... except make the fire system better... Get myself a Hans device... along with a carbon fiber helmet... and some skills.

Of course -- like anyone would -- I'm busy studying this little Lotus...


1477 pounds!

The body weighs in at 88 pounds!


Not much in the HP and TQ numbers like we're used to around here --- but it's good enough to make this lightweight scoot 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and 0-100 in 9.1..... Not bad for 109 cubic inches! LOL

That sounds more like it... when you told me it was 2200 lbs I was calling BS immediately.... you sandbagger. LOL

What a little rocket.

1477lbs vs 2000 lbs. thats huge. I just LOL when I know you just impulse bought that. You had no idea what it was or is. When I saw the youtube videos posted in this thread. I was thinking to myself "damn that's a track car, and why are they passing people on the straights? Greg said it was underpowered in the straights".

Oh, 1477lbs thats probably with 2 seats, you have a one seater, probably 1450 lbs now.
